- I don't know what time Meg in on in New York, but The Greaseman is scheduled
- to be on from 7:00 PM to 11:00(?) PM here in the DC area. Does anyone know
- what time he'll be broadcasting in LA? That is his home base. BTW, those
- of you who live in New York will tire of him quickly just like we did here
- in DC. The stories CAN be funny, but he uses that annoying voice all the time
- which is a HUGE turn-off to the ear. I'm sure Howard must be sick about this.
- Someone mentioned that he stopped ragging on Don & Mike a few months before
- they showed up at WJFK. I remember him raising hell with them just a few
- days before they went on the air here in DC. They had mentioned his name
- in one of theit promos. I hate to turn this into a NON-Howard Stern
- newsgroup, but D&M had mentioned that the reason Infinity hired them was
- because Howard couldn't BEAT them. I disagree. Before D&M started on WJFK
- the station was broadcasting a WEAK signal from a tower outside the DC
- Beltway in Northern VA. The station was UNABLE to broadcast to most
- of MD. This made it virtually impossible for the station to get decent DC
- ratings. D&M's first broadcast day from WJFK was the day the station started
- running a dual signal from the tower in VA and an AM station located in
- Baltimore. If they had still been at WAVA when this had happened Howard
- would have KICKED THIER BUTTS!!!! 'Nuff said!
