Page "WTKK" Paragraph 4

In April 2007, WTKK management attempted to add Boston Herald columnist and talk-show host Howie Carr to its lineup, after the station's syndicated morning show Imus in the Morning was cancelled after Don Imus ' comments about the Rutgers University Women's Basketball team got him fired by CBS.

But Carr's long-time radio-station employer, Entercom-owned WRKO, blocked that move by exercising a clause in Mr. Carr's contract allowing it to make a matching counter-offer.

Carr held out until November 16, 2007, after which point Carr returned to WRKO.

On December 3, WTKK resumed broadcasting Imus in the Morning when it was picked up by WABC, but over time was locally limited in its broadcast time, ultimately only airing for 2 hours every weekday morning.

In January 2011, WTKK dropped Imus from their lineup completely in favor of an extended edition of their late morning team of Jim Braude and Margery Eagan.
