Hats off to him, never thought we'd get to hear somebody actually call them out like that.
John Marzano Olympic Hero said:Jesus, this sounds like a really dumb move for Pete. If you want to stay in the industry, why would you do this? Just stupid.
that is not the clip...twibnotes said:
Especially Dennis. When Dennis was out on vacation, Callahan immediately became better (not great but much better).Cellar-Door said:Meh, seems like a petulant dick,
Honestly Riish is the only one who left so far I thought was even mildly competent at his job (other then Ordway, but he had just been there too long).
I've enjoyed Salk and Holley far more than the Big Show, Now if only they can dump Dennis and Callahan.

However, if he wanted to stay in the media/radio business, he pulled off a very risky stunt. Maybe he will team up with Ordway who is looking into podcasts and internet radio. I doubt you will hear Pete on traditional, commercial radio. At least I seriously doubt it will happen in Boston.

This. Pete Shepard is delusional if he thinks Entercom was going to have him sit down with the boss of his boss to discuss on air content. It's comical to even think that Shepard expected this to happen. IMO he was never any good, and he's a rank amateur for pulling a stunt like this. Kudos to him if he doesn't care, but if he thinks he's going to be working at another reputable media stop anytime soon, then he's even more delusional than I think.Lose Remerswaal said:The folks above my boss won't take my calls, either. That's why I have a boss, to figure out what goes on with my job and filter things so her boss can handle bigger issues they are needed for.

If Howie Carr hates him then he must be good people. I Howie Carr is without a single redeeming quality.threecy said:
He's certainly not the only person take issue with Entercom.
I believe it was Friday, Howie Carr's producer asked if he'd have lunch with Wolfe...Carr responded, "No way...I wouldn't tell him if his coat was on fire!"

Overall, The Sports Hub finished first in each of the three months of the winter ratings period. WEEI was third in January, sixth in February, and tied for ninth in March. The Sports Hub was also first in the fall ratings with an 8.5.
NortheasternPJ said:Yet D&C claim to be the Most Listened to in New England. Plus they claim "it's not even close". I can't imagine adding in NESN and the rest of NE would make up the large number of listeners they'd need.
