EMAILS FROM LISTENERS - Rise and Shine

Moe Thank you for all the enjoyment you have given me over the years I stopped listening to RKO when they hired Fineran except on Saturday Mornings When you were on I'm a 51 yr old retires Army Ssg who very much enjoyed listening to the troops you had on from Overseas every week it did my heart good to know that there is so much more going on over there than what is being reported. I found a Station on the Cape that reaches to Marshfield where I live, to bad you couldn't catch on with them the radio waves need people like you and Howie Carr and the people on the radio @ Wttk 95.1 FM thats where I listen to howie now since Finneran was hired I wish you a lot of luck I used to run into Jerry Williams at the Post Office and we used to chat often I feel like now there will be another void with you gone. Thank you again

Hi Moe:
I am sorry to hear that your show was so unceremoniously canceled. You are a class act, and certainly didn't deserve to be treated that way. This is just another example of how Entercom regards its employees. Maybe they could use some Ever Cleanse, but then there would be nothing left of them. Enjoy the time with your family, you always conducted yourself with grace and dignity, and they can't take that away.
All the best!
Chuck, Newton MA.

Tell the bosses at WRKO that Saturday mornings are a delight with you on the air. Do they know what they are doing by letting you go??????

Hi Moe;
I just read the news in the Boston Herald -- I was surprised, but not shocked, with the way talk-radio has been going.
Right, I wake up with my radio on every morning, set to WRKO or WTKK and hear infomercials coming into my subconscious. I bolt up yelling, "Hey, infomercials -- I've waited all week for them!" I can clean out my intestines, "loose 15-25 pounds that dieting or exercise won't eliminate." Wow, that makes my day (for a Saturday morning for about the 4th of 5th month anyway! If I missed it back in November, I just caught it again before switching over or off!
You did a professional job, especially if you got your notice just yesterday morning while on the air. I had your program on (had switched over from TKK's intestines cleaning advisory at 0500), and you didn't miss a beat -- I only learned about it this morning, had not even a clue. Nice job, buddy.
If you recall, yours was the first radio talk show I ever did, back in 1985. I'd just walked out of Jerry Williams' office heading home. Jerry had just promised me that -- if I simply filled the Committee to Repeal the Mandatory Seat Belt Law -- that I'd never have to do any public speaking; he'd handle all that. Public speaking then was a bigger fear for me than swimming with hungry sharks or being caught inside a burning building. He'd just promised me! I never got out of that Brookline Ave. studio without you cornering me for your next program, the following Saturday morning.
I recall driving into WRKO in the dark, chewing my fingernails that morning. I remember facing off with a nurse who supported the MSBL. I looked at the clock on your studio's wall, wondering how I could make it through a whole hour with tens of thousands listening. Your program started, I got lost in it and the next thing I knew you were thanking us for being with you! I wanted to keep going -- couldn't believe our hour was up!!! I was good-to-go after that experience.
Best of luck, whatever you do next. Let me know. You've been a good friend to us citizen-activists for almost a quarter-century, when we needed your voice and 'RKO's signal. Until now I thought you were a fixture there.

Moe, just wanted to say thanks for all you have done over the years for bringing to a forum issues that otherwise may have been swept under the rug! Once again WRKO and especially that rat b****rd Jason Wolf have let us "talk insiders" down again! Moe,may God bless you and your family you will be missed!

Hi Moe --
I was shocked to hear of your dismissal from RKO. And after 25 years management didn't have the decency to tell you themselves. Below see the email I just sent to RKO programming.
Thanks for all the years at RKO; I hope I'll be hearing you again soon!!

My message sent today to RKO programming:
What's best for RKO? Don't dump veteran local talk show hosts only to fill the time with meaningless info-mercials. I don't need to hear any more snake oil ads and absolutely will not waste my time listening to hype about vitamins, hair transplants, colon cleansers, etc etc etc. RKO programmers are following the path of the lemmings.

Hi Moe,
I tuned in late during the show yesterday and still can not believe this has happened. I have never called your show but always listen. I am only 44 years old but have always enjoyed talk radio even when i was yery young. There is always someone very special in the business that you just can not forget. Larry Glick was the one that first got me interested in talk radio. I could not fall asleep at nite unless I was listening to him. Another farorite of mine for 30 + years is Eddie Andelman. Could not miss a Sunday nite sports huddle show. Last but not least is YOU. We have a small camp in Maine and I always listen to you on the way up. The drive will never be the same. I just dont know how to thank you for the many hours of listening to your great voice on the radio. I am hoping that you will pop up at another station, but in closing would just like you to take some time for yourself and wish you the best od health and luck in the future. YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTON.

Mo,
Sorry to see you go I didn't agree with you all the time but I'm sure going to miss you.
I want to wish the you the best in what ever do, hopefully picked by some other station.
God Bless

Hi Moe-
I've listened to you since High School (I'm now 38). There will no doubt be an unfillable void on Saturdays. Good Luck. Not that this is any consolation, but I'm a friend of Jason Wolfe's. Needless to say, I've given him a piece of my mind as a result of this news. Good luck and hope to hear you back on the airwaves soon.

Hi Moe,
I listened to you every Saturday morning on my way to the gym. I would then continue to listen to you as I drove around the northshore doing my errands. Your voice will be sorely missed. Hopefully, it will not be missed for long. In the Herald article, you said, "I'll probably end up somewhere." I am looking forward to that.
Thank you, Mary Kate
