and very unceremoniously at that. They fired him & didn't even allow a farewell show. The local AM talk radio/politics station gave him a 4 hour timeslot to have a farewell show. AM station that has Rush Limbaugh & such. Very fucking cool of that station to do this for a Los Angeles legend.

Can't say I'm too surprised at that ---- there's consequences when Clear Channel controls 90% of all the terrestrial radio stations in the U.S.
In a few years, the only radio stations remaining will be on satellite or the Interwebs ---- CHANGE, AINT NOTHIN' STAYS THE SAME.Comment

I heard Dave's final day at his CBS radio show was a huge "FUCK YOU" to the brass who fucked him over in favor of Opie and Anthony.
Speaking of radio dickheads ---- is Howard Stern gonna have VH on his show while they are in NYC ?? Stern and Dave had a falling out ever since that failed CBS stint.Comment

Anyone hear how Al Roker caused a stink against Ed and Al on their flight out to NY? I heard this from a friend who was on the flight, but I dont trust her slutty ass.Comment

Roker did the Rose Parade broadcast for NBC, so it's at least plausible that they were on the same flight.Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.Comment

Rock duo can’t move Roker
Last Updated: 12:44 AM, January 4, 2012
Al Roker nearly “pulled apushy n Alec Baldwin” on an American Airlines flight when he refused to give up his aisle seat for rocker Alex Van Halen and his wife, Stine Schyberg, and remained glued to his phone after the gate closed to tune out the couple’s protests.
After hosting the Rose Bowl in LA on Monday, the campy “Today” meteorologist avoided a fiery confrontation on AA flight No. 4 to New York when his first-class companions, the Van Halen co-founder and his wife, bitterly complained to the gate agent that Roker was sitting between them as the plane sat on the ground.

Witnesses said Alex was seated by the right- side window, his wife in the center of the cabin, with Roker in the aisle seat between them. Alex’s brother and Van Halen co-founder Eddie and his wife, Janie Liszewski, were seated in the row behind them.
“Alex complained, ‘We’re not together, Mr. Roker’s seat is between ours,” a spy said. “Al was looking at his phone, desperately trying to ignore the whole situation.”
When the agent asked Roker to move to the aisle seat in the first-row center, he stated that he’s “allergic to dogs,” a source tells us. A passenger with a little dog in a crate was in the row behind Roker, and moving to the aisle would have put him three seats away, rather than four.
To sit together, Alex and Stine then swapped with passengers in business class, our spy said, adding that a relieved Al “said ‘Hello’ to the new people when they sat down, after hiding from the Van Halens by texting.”
Roker, who then turned his phone off, seemed to have better etiquette than “30 Rock” star Baldwin, who was bounced from a flight last month for unleashing his rage on a flight attendant who asked him to put his phone away.
While the situation was uncomfortable, “There was literally not an ounce of rock star bullbleep,” a spy said of Alex, “But his wife was making a big deal complaining about it.”
A rep for Van Halen told us the band “couldn’t be reached.” NBC declined to comment.

I wouldn't move either if someone is being prima donna about it. It's not like they're newlyweds and can't sit apart for 4 hrs.Comment
