STILL ‘ALL’ WHITE

ALL THE TIME ( EXCEPT IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT)

Gibson HIS “LEGACY” LIVES ON AT WFAN

It is an OUTRAGE

NOTHING has changed

at WFAN in the wake of

the Don Imus Debacle

The FACT IS it is

SameOle SameOle

At The FAN

They are about to hire a few “new” WHITE guys to be the ‘permanent’ face of the NEW morning show but it is the Same Old Fan with the Same ALL White mentality in management and its on-the-air personalities.

You might think

( if you were naive )

that they would hire just

ONE new African American

personality for the station

WRONG

Tony Paige who does the Grave Yard Show 1AM-6AM was The Token Black On The Air Personality BEFORE the Imus Debacle and Tony Paige is the ONLY Black On the Air Personality AFTER the Imus Debacle.

How many On the Air Personalities

does WFAN have in total

Count them ….

42

not including the TWO

New Morning Guys

Who are the NEW Guys. Former NFL Quarterback Boomer Esiason and his new Dirty Mouth Side Kick Jersey Guy Craig Carton. So now the total On The Air personalities at WFAN will be 44 which includes ONE African American. It is a waste of Time to even write any more. Those figures speak for themselves loud and clear even LOUDER after the Imus Debacle.

NO CHANGES OF SUBSTANCE

at WFAN after Imus’ Racist Comments

But we might as well check on the parent company of WFAN which is the CBS Radio Network which lists on its Website ELEVEN Senior Executives of course NONE of them are African American. When earlier we tried and tried again to reach Karen Mateo, CBS Radio’s Vice President for Communications yes surprise she was too busy to talk with BASN but she did email us a one sentence statement that CBS Radio and WFAN were committed to both diversity and inclusion in its network and on the air.

We tried to find out from

Ms. Karen Mateo how much

she gets paid by CBS to

LIE but all we got was

NO COMMENT

WFAN Racist Radio

at its “Best” (sic)
