	WTKK - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		WTKK is a New England commercial talk radio station, first broadcast out of Boston on 96.9 FM beginning in 1999.
		It can be heard through most of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire.
		In addition to various highlights and repeats of the weekday shows, WTKK also runs the following original programming.

	Jay Severin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The status of his show at WTKK, "Extreme Games", was left in doubt, but ultimately both parties agreed he would return to the station with his new syndicated show.
		In December 2005, WTKK announced on their website that Jay Severin would be broadcast following Michael Graham, silencing rumors that he would be moving to a competing station.
		Severin is libertarian on social and economic issues, and isolationist on international affairs, supporting Pat Buchanan’s ideology.

	Jay Severin's replacement on WTKK \| Universal Hub
		The Herald reports that WTKK has replaced non-Pulitzer-winning talk-show host Jay Severin with Michael Graham.
		WTKK Radio (96.9 FM) has replaced trash-talking, Muslim-bashing afternoon-drive-time host Jay Severin with trash-talking, Muslim-bashing afternoon-drive-time host Michael Graham.
		I no longer listen to WTKK on the way home and have to listen to other dribble because I cannot stand the new guy.

		We are writing to express our shock over the remarks reportedly made on the air last Thursday by FM 96.9 WTKK personality Jay Severin in which he suggested to "kill all Muslims" as a solution to problems this nation is currently facing.
		We are strongly opposed to government censorship, but using a talk-radio format to propose the killing of an entire religious group shows a particularly reckless use of the privilege to hold an FCC license to broadcast.
		We would like to be a constructive partner in addressing these issues, but it is important for the entire community that WTKK show leadership in demonstrating an understanding of the problem.

		The council was notified of the statement by a caller, Ahmed said.
		But WHDH television reported that a WTKK representative said Severin would apologize on his show Monday.
		Ahmed said that on Friday, Mills told her organization that the statement was taken out of context.

	Jay Severin Inks Syndie Deal with Infinity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Severin has been the afternoon driver (3 p.m.-7 p.m.) on Greater Media's WTKK Boston since that station debuted its current talk format in September 1999.
		That leaves room for Severin to potentially remain on WTKK, since Boston is ranked market number 11 in the Spring 2005 Arbitrons.
		Before joining WTKK, Severin hosted late nights on Entercom talk WRKO in the market.

	John Molori's Media Blitz: Tang is mum on change at 890 ESPN Boston (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		One of the reasons he decided to join WTKK is parent company Greater Media, rumored to be in the hunt for Red Sox broadcast rights.
		Andelman’s arrival at WTKK hastened the departure of “Calling All Sports,” a Sunday afternoon staple at the station hosted by Bob Rodgers for the past two years.
		Rodgers, whose final WTKK show aired this past Sunday, says he had great discussions with 890 ESPN Boston program director Doug Tribou about airing the program.

	The Radio Equalizer: Brian Maloney: New York-Based Talk Host Exposed
		When Jay isn't on (which is a lot, these days) WTKK simply runs Hannity live (as well as in the 10p-1a slot it's normally shuffled to).
		In the case of the former, there has not only been no response from Jimmy "Jay Severin" Severino about the accusations in the Globe column, nor is there Severin patting himself on the back for landing a syndicated show with Infinity starting in January (Boston affiliate undetermined).
		WTKK is again running Hannity live in his place (which isn't bad).

	SchardtMEDIA -- Essays: Commercial Radio Talk
		While many of these stations are targeting men 18-34 and 25-49, the new Boston FM Talk station--96.9 FM (WTKK)--sounds like it's aiming for public radio listeners.
		WTKK, one of five stations in the market owned by Greater Media, is co-opting public radio's positioning through a series of produced spots touting "listener-supported radio, 96.9 FM," followed by a montage of listener testimonials.
		The station's positioning statements are "SmartTalk" and "Live and Local." Its on-air hosts have high profiles in the community, or boast their journalistic credentials and keep a finger on the pulse of politics and culture.

		WTKK did arouse surprise and some opposition when it went on air in September, officially launching its new call letters on Sept. 23.
		He points out that the majority of WTKK shows are as local as those on WMEX, and that his station is the only one with the FM range and sound quality to which younger listeners have grown accustomed.

	Re: WTKK webpage? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		BTW...unlike the other 4 that use their call letters for URLs (wbos.com, wklb.com etc), WTKK uses www.969fmtalk.com for its URL.
		It also appears WTKK is on a different server than the other 4 stations, which may account for the lack of streaming audio.

		Apparently WTKK's owner, Greater Media, has exclusive rights to _negotiate with him_ in the hope of carrying his new show, Jay Severin has Issues; this "window" runs till the end of the year, and Jay's new show starts nationwide in Jan. Could be on WTKK, WBZ, who knows.
		Or he may. At this point it might be just way too much of embarrassment and somewhat of a credibility issue for the embattled WTKK 96.9FM afternoon host to face the music after this latest episode of embellishing his educational/professional achievements.
		Jay Severin on WTKK in Boston has recently been very vocal in his support of Cindy Sheehan and her anti-war efforts in Crawford.

		But it only occurs very close in to the interference source...granted WTKK is on top of the Prudential skyscraper, and WBUR is out on FM-128 where Rt.128 crosses Rt.9.
		It doesn't really interfere with WTKK in any real sense, but technically it required an FCC waiver because of the FCC's somewhat arbitrary "3rd adjacent" (three spaces away on the dial) interference rules.
		It is hard to narrow it down when it comes to waves and so many signals around the area and the shifting and crowding college stations playing a role in it too.

	Media Nation: Good news for talk radio
		WBZ Radio (AM 1030) talk-show host Paul Sullivan, who succeeded the late David Brudnoy last year, is staying put.
		To recap: the reptilian (thanks, John) Severin had been a ratings hit on 'TKK's afternoon-drive-time slot for the past several years, but disappeared from the airwaves this fall after he signed a national-syndication deal with Infinity, part of the CBS network.
		Meanwhile, WTKK has been left with the worst of all possible worlds.

	Conversation with Mike Barnicle - The Unofficial Opie and Anthony Message Board - Wackbag.com
		I'm sure you all know who Mike Barnicle is, he writes for the major newspaper here in Boston and he is a personality on WTKK 96.9FM (part of the many stations that O and A may end up on if they broadcast from WYSP)......
		Well I walked into the elevator at work today and in walks Mike Barnicle right after me. I introduced myself and had a few radio questions for him because that is my major at school.
		I then asked him if he knew anything about a possible deal with Opie and Anthony (I mentioned that someone had told me that they might be broadcasting on all the stations owned by the company that ownes WTKK 96.9).............

	Message Received: A Year After the Launch of the Air America Radio Network, Progressive Talk is Making Progress
		He acknowledges that the industry is watching and waiting until one radio operator ''has the guts corporately, to take one of the major stations and flip it and make it liberal." And, of course, get good ratings in the process.
		Matt Mills, general manager of Greater Media, which operates WTKK, is more skeptical about the drawing power of liberal talk, noting that Air America and Democracy Radio personalities tend to be on small AM stations.
		That is the case in Boston, where Clear Channel stations WKOX and WXKS began broadcasting the liberal talk lineup in October.

		But it's unknown whether or not WTKK will run it.

		WTKK (96.9 Boston), WBOS (92.9 Brookline) and WROR-FM (105.7 Framingham) now use that ERI panel antenna mounted below the second set of guy wires.
		I believe this is WTKK's piece of the combiner at left.
		And now we can head for the upper level of the roof, where we clamber over the various holes and protrusions (including the airshaft that plunges 52 stories down through the center of the building) to get to the base of the tower itself.

		Echoing previous reported comments by 'EEI program director Jason Wolfe, Callahan aimed his fire at the Globe's alleged hypocrisy for allowing sportswriters Will McDonough and Dan Shaughnessy to appear regularly on former Globe columnist Mike Barnicle's show on WTKK Radio (96.9 FM).
		As Callahan accurately noted, Barnicle had "disgraced" his ex-employer by writing fabricated and plagiarized columns.
		As for the fact that WTKK also employs Severin and carries Imus, Callahan's taking the guilt-by-association thing too far.

	Clarity & Resolve: Wolves in Sheep's Clothing
		In August of 2005 Michael Graham was fired from WMAL-AM because he refused to apologize for saying on-air "We are at war with a terrorist organization named Islam”.
		Recently WTKK FM radio in Boston has hired Graham as their new afternoon drive host. Grahams comments are a blatent example of bigotry that has been able to creep into the American Society after September 11th which has been mainly fueled by racist talk radio.
		MAS Freedom Foundation is looking for volunteers to monitor WTKK FM 96.9 Monday -Friday 3-7pm.?If you can contribute a few hours a week please contact us in order to coordinate our efforts.??For more information please contact Muhammad Shalaby at mohamedshalaby@hotmail.com

		Now syndicated by CBS Radio, the longtime Friend Of Imus (FOI) remains on WTKK in an evening slot.
		If he had anything positive to say about his own WTKK, it didn't make the story.

	Media Nation: Severin watch
		And, I am still trying to figure out how WTKK would explain the fact that Jay is officially in the open NOT originating from Boston after all and all of sudden announce officially now that he hails from NY.
		There is always those airheads and bimbos and ignorant that will be a possible national audience for him.
		One of the tactics WTKK resorts to to protect its ratings is to sabotage WBUR frequencies.

		Since much of WTKK’s cume comes from FM music listeners, its median age is substantially younger than that of an AM Talk outlet.
		The noteworthy paradox that conservative talk fares well in liberal Boston might be best explained by one loyal WTKK listener, who likes hearing “what the nuts are saying” to Limbaugh, who airs Noon-3pm on WRKO.
		ABC Radio/FOX-TV’s Sean Hannity, Talk Radio Network’s Laura Ingraham and Westwood One’s Bill O’Reilly are part of WTKK’s roster and participated in its initial “FM Talk All-Stars” town hall meeting last month (11-5-2005).
