[BC] WSJ on replacing Howard Stern

[Rob Atkinson]

I wish I had heard that.

BTW, I'm no Larry King expert, but I recall that around 25 years ago, he 
seemed to own the overnight, with a show on Mutual that was carried on 
hundreds of stations.  This was before Limbaugh, Art Bell, et al., and L.K. 
on CNN.   I thought it was pretty damn good radio, and I'm under the 
impression he showed that a daily nationwide satellite feed talk show could 
work on commercial AM (for good or il).

I find him enjoyable when he has a good guest on- preferably male as if it's 
a woman he tends to focus on her anatomy for
a bit too long which can get tedious. But when he had William Shatner on a 
few months ago it was a scream. Absolutely hilarious
as he will ask questions (with a great delivery) that no one else would- and 
the guests sometimes get surprised.
