What is Jason Wolfe doing to WRKO?

I don't expect Jason Wolfe to turn WRKO into Air America but I have to wonder about his personnel moves. The air of uncertainly is baffling to longtime listeners. To be sure John DePetro, who Wolfe fired this past fall, lacked ratings power in the 9 a.m. to 12 noon slot. However, Todd Feinburg, an excellent talk radio host, should permanently be in that slot. Maybe that will happen. I think it should.

WRKO radio has bumped talk show host Todd Feinburg from its nighttime lineup, but the station’s program director says he wants to keep the conservative yakker on the station’s airwaves.

Feinburg has been filling in on mornings while the Entercom-owned station searches for a replacement for John DePetro, who was fired last year for calling gubernatorial candidate Grace Ross a "fat lesbian."

"Todd is being moved into the 9 a.m. to noon slot while I continue to work towards a permanent solution there, which I expect him to be a part of," said WRKO program director Jason Wolfe.

"Meanwhile, we are retooling at night with two solid national shows, Michael Savage from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. and Jerry Doyle from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m.," Wolfe said.

Feinburg's nighttime show aired for the last time Tuesday. His nationally syndicated show can still be heard on WRKO (680 AM) on weekend afternoons.
