Afternoons -- WSCR-AM #1 with a 5.1; WMVP-AM #8 with a 4.0

There's a part of me that wants to sit on the sidelines for a year or so

Larry is lucky he has a job, even if it is part time.

I kinda regret that comment, PittMike. Made me sound petulant.

As for fall ratings "helping" my bargaining power... I don't know. Plausible arguments can be made on both sides of it. Doesn't matter, really. I'm going fishin' this summer and likely won't be making a decision until mid-July, a month after my deal expires. There's a part of me that wants to sit on the sidelines for a year or so... let these three stations slug it out for a bit... then see which one is most committed.

But he is busy taking victory laps on FB and Twitter about his evening slot numbers in January. Not a peep about the mid-day book when he was at the controls.

Mac if you're going to take a one year vacation I fully support you but only if you take Larry with you. Perhaps throw him overboard.

Dan McNeil you are extremely fortunate to still have a job after all your horrible decisions yet instead of being grateful you continue to take more time off than any other sports radio host and admit you do not watch important games (the NCAA Football National Championship for example).

For some reason Mitch Rosen continues to let you slide which isn't fair to listeners and advertisers. As you can see by the ratings when you were gone they slide. Why is that important to me. As an advertisers the more people who listen the more people hear advertisers commercials.

If you don't want to take the job seriously let someone like Chet Coppock or Chuck Swirsky take over for you and watch the ratings increase. These two take their jobs seriously unlike you and your partner Matt Spiegel who takes almost as much time off as you to sing.
