The Herald reports that Finneran and his toady Grover Dill are not leaving WRKO - they just felt like having some fun and making people think that for a couple of days.

Loved The Jean Shepherd Reference

Loved the Jean shepherd reference (Grover Dill); which reminds me: it won't be long before TV stations start running "A Christmas Story" over and over again.

Growing up in New York, of course I listened to him telling his stories every night on WOR.

Ah, yes, his stories--and all the other things he did on radio and in many more media! But do you know of the 500-page book about his creative work--EXCELSIOR, YOU FATHEAD! THE ART AND ENIGMA OF JEAN SHEPHERD (Applause Books, 2005). I wrote it.

EXCELSIOR!

The gag wouldn't have worked if they had decent ratings.
