How long will Josh Innes Last in Philly?

Josh Innes and his only friend in Philly???
To say the least the new night host is not playing well in Philadelphia? He was brought here by CBS Radio management to give a boost to ratings for 94 WIP. From what I understand he did quite well on the sports radio station in Houston. He is a rising star within corporate circles. Why not? He's made a lot of money for CBS. Apparently he had the option of choosing Philly or Atlanta. He should have chosen Atlanta.

The problem with Josh Innes is that he doesn't know Philly sports. He has not lived and died with the few successes and the multitude of defeats that the Philadelphia sports fans have endured over the years. The reason hosts like Al Morganti, Glen Macnow, Ray Didinger and even Angelo Cataldi and Howard Eskin have done well is because they were journalists. They were newspaper men who have been in the locker rooms for years watching games and interviewing players. In Eskin's case he done it all including TV. Even Mike Missanelli over at 97.5 The Fanatic was also an Inquirer writer.
