Wildman Walker fired
I was surprised to see this hasn't been discussed.
http://cincinnati.com/blogs/tv/2011/...ildman-walker/ I guess everything (and everyone) runs its'/their course. Never thought I'd see this one though.

Re: Wildman Walker fired
When I interned at the WLW sports department, he one of the nicest people to me. Just a flat out gentleman. Let me use his desk, talked to me like I was more than just an intern. Hate to see anyone lose their job.
He kept me entertained during many a drive to high school.

Re: Wildman Walker fired
I'll echo Dom -- I've met the Wildman several times, and he's been nothing but a fantastic individual each time.
It's kinda sad, but radio has turned into a barren wasteland of awful over the last 10 years. Like many things, though, the trend just took a little longer to hit Cincinnati. I'm very glad I have an XM Radio so that I can listen to Howard or O&A in the mornings and not bother with the garbage the local FM / AM scene has to offer.

Re: Wildman Walker fired
That is pretty crappy, they have both been on WEBN forever. Some of Wildman's rants on Danny Graves and Nancy Zimpher were epic.

Re: Wildman Walker fired
Anybody ever gone to his bar in St Bernard? Is it worth trying? I think it's called Boomerang's. Does he still do the Cyclones PA work at home games?

Re: Wildman Walker fired
Been a long time since I've listened to the Dawn Patrol. Once they lost Robin Wood and Eddie Fingers, I stopped listening.

Re: Wildman Walker fired
Also fired on the same day was Bob "The Producer" Berry. I thought some his stuff was great and another super nice person.

Re: Wildman Walker fired
Although I agree that it is sad, once you have done Rock n Roll for 25 years, you are too old to do Rock n Roll.

Re: Wildman Walker fired
Overheard a couple of Cumulus guys at work today in the bathroom discussing the possibility of reuniting the Dawn Patrol. Don't know how serious it was, but they didn't know I was in the bathroom...

Re: Wildman Walker fired
Overheard more at Cumulus HQ today. Apparently it would be at least 2 months before anything could be done.
