THIS JUST IN…WERE FIRED

I was just informed that 11L/RNI programming has been cancelled on WBCQ.  This was literally told to Big Steve Cole when he called in to hook up to the station for audio. I have no inkling as to why.
 

Big Steve tried to contact Allan Weiner who I am told was angry over something said in a recent program that I can only assume was so toxic a statement that he has decided to pull the plug.
 

As I have not been on the air for weeks, and have always ribbed my ‘ol pally more than a little without any problems , I know I’ve done nothing to annoy the man most responsible for our longevity, and cannot fathom what may have lead to his decision.
 

Know that I received no advanced word that we were gone, but it seems we are. I have not spoken to Allan in quite some time, and choose not to bother him now. Whatever the reason, I cannot say; however I can only thank him for having extended himself and his facilities to us as long as he has.
 

I am certainly not pleased, but hardly can be angry as I assume the rationale for this move will be made know to me at some point.
 

I’d advise you to contact the station directly if you choose, perhaps you can glean some info I am not privy to.
 

As of 10:47 Sunday evening, all I know is we are persona non grata at Planet Radio. In a period of weeks during which I have been on an emotional rollercoaster as the people who were to sell me my dream house did the proverbial last minute pull out, my search for a new home goes on while my buyers dicker around, yes, this news is oh so timely.

But my ulcer has had enough of a workout of late, I will waste no time fretting over this loss. I have given my best radio to WBCQ and I think we have provided them with some of their best programming. I can leave knowing that.

Nonetheless  It was a good run. As to our internet future, we shall decide to what extent we have one in the days and weeks to come.

Wow, Neil Rogers got axed last week, now yours truly. Radio really does offer less every day (although at least he got a ‘buy out’ to just go away… I should be so lucky some day!)

 Check back for updates as I have them and thanks for your support for over 10 wild years.

    If you want to find a reason being let go, then you don’t have to look any further than Steve Cole.

    What in the ever-lovin’ HELL?

    Sure, WBCQ put up with Hal Turner and Brother Stair for YEARS, and all of a sudden the content on RNI is something “toxic”? HA! That’s a pantload.

    I bet someone offered money for the timeslot.

    Put 11L on iTunes as a podcast every week. I’d pay a buck a week for it.

    Or how about WFMU?

    Well this is shocking to say the least. As JL has pointed out, and as the King of Siam once sang, it’s a puzzlement.
