The New York Daily News is reporting that disgraced congressman Anthony Weiner is in negotiations to make the move to local talk radio.
Suggesting Clear Channel’s 710 WOR and Cumulus’ 770 WABC as possible destinations, the Daily News states the program would air in a drivetime daypart. However, Politico adds that Cumulus denies it has had any interest in adding Weiner on WABC.
Clear Channel’s WOR will be adding Sean Hannity from WABC in afternoons on January 1, but will have a morning drive opening after John Gambling retires on December 20.
Now that “Rambling with Gambling” ends and Anthony Weiner becomes the latest “name” to jump into the big time with zero radio experience, WOR has to come up with a name for his show…
For a more “family friendly” image:
“Cleaner with Weiner”
To play up his bad boy image and go for more of a shock-jock approach:
“Misdemeanor with Weiner”
Given WOR’s demos, what we will probably get is:
“Senior with Weiner”
If Weiner posts selfies of his leg on the station website:
“Femur with Weiner”
