Morning Joe Team In Talks To Start Radio Show "By The Beginning of the Year"

[RamboLiberal]

The Morning Joe team of Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski are looking for a radio gig — and it sounds like a deal is close.

Although Scarborough tells TVNewser "we haven't signed any deals yet," he says, "If we're going to get into radio, we want it to be by the beginning of the year."

The New York Daily News' David Hinckley writes, "Some reports on the New York Radio Message Board yesterday say WABC is eying Joe Scarborough."

Scarborough says, "We've talked to Citadel , and several other networks."

But Scarborough is clear — WABC, is where he wants to be. "If we had our druthers we'd sign with Citadel, only because they launched Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, all the most successful talk shows in the country," he says. "As I explained to Mika, there are two types of radio shows, those that have clearance on WABC, and those that don't have clearance on WABC. It is just a radio station like the New York Times is just a newspaper," he says facetiously.

1. Oh, Good Lord... Can you imagine?

As much as BLow Joe gets on my nerves, I have to say it would be Mika that would be sending me flying through the air to change channels. Good heavens... Although if that will get them off MSNBC, I'm all for it.

2. They probably want a simulcast.

They're replacing Don Imus, who was simultaneously broadcast on TV and radio.

7. Simulcast?

Oh yeah, then Ass Clown Joe can get fined twice for every time he says "Fuck".

[Eric J in MN]

8. The FCC doesn't fine cable TV shows for expletives, and so...

...if Joe Scarborough gets fined twice for an expletive, it will be because it was carried on two radio stations.

4. Didn't Imus do his shows simultaneously on TV and radio? I really don't know, but I bet they won't

be gone from MSNBC.

[Eric J in MN]

9. Yes, Don Imus did.

3. How soon can we get The Fairness Doctrine up and running again?

One of the first stations to land on is WABC.
