Original Report 11/13: After trying for years to exit Entercom Conservative Talk 680 WRKO Boston, Howie Carr has finally gotten his wish.
Carr made his last appearance on WRKO prior to Election Day and will not return as he debuts his new self-syndicated program on Monday, November 17. Carr had hosted afternoons at WRKO since 1994 as well as syndicating the show to stations in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Wisconsin. Carr attempted to exit WRKO for mornings at Greater Media’s now-defunct 96.9 WTKK in September 2007, but Entercom matched the contract and Carr begrudgingly returned to WRKO two months later.
The new show that will debut on Monday will reunite Carr with co-host Nancy ‘Sandy’ Shack and former Producer Doug ‘Virgin Boy’ or ‘VB’ Goudie. VB was let go from his position as commentator on WFXT-TV’s Morning News yesterday. The trio will be joined by newcomer Steve Robinson as producer and fill-in host.
But where will it air in Boston? As Scott Fybush has been reporting for weeks, Carr is destined to appear on Blackstrap Broadcasting’s 1510 WUFC. But it likely won’t be WUFC when Carr appears. The station, which is operated by Vanguard Radio via LMA, has applied to return to the WMEX call letters it used until 1976 and has registered 1510WMEX.com. The station currently airs a mix of syndicated Conservative/Libertarian talk, brokered comedic talk, and Fox Sports Radio programming.

The Springfield, MA Advance reports that Entercom has quietly been attempting to hire a new host for months now to replace Carr at WRKO. Fill-in hosts have been appearing in Carr’s timeslot all month and will likely continue for the forseeable future.
Howie did a full show Election Day and a final full show from his home Fri. He also has 3 other affiliates in MA, in Holyoke, Worcester and the Cape
“The Springfield, MA Advance” is actually MassLive.com, online home of The Republican newspaper in Springfield.
