Yes, he did. We put him on the WOR Radio Network five days a week. He's 
deeply involved in New Jersey politics. Stations complained he was "too New 
York" and they couldn't have cared less about New Jersey. He was on for 
about 2 years and we had a terrible time affiliating him. Bob is actually a 
nice guy. His act just didn't play well outside the New York metro. Bob was 
always accused of being a bigot, yet nearly all his producers were Black. 
It was schtick. After years of criticizing him I realized the bigot label 
was wrong.
