Bye Bye Brian


Let's hope the hex of "Don't Quote Me" isn't as bad as the Sports Illustrated cover jinx. Less than a month after I lauded the work  (scroll down to third item) of WRKO's new operations director Brian Whittemore, the Whittemore era is over.

According to the release excerpted below, he's been supplanted by WEEI's director of programming Jason Wolfe, who will now become vice president of AM programming for WEEI and WRKO: 

Wolfe takes over for Brian Whittemore who has been serving as WRKO Operations Manager on a temporary basis since September 2005.  Whttemore is credited with returning more local programming to the WRKO airwaves, including the nightly human-interest show "Taste of Boston Tonight". His leadership was evident in the Fall 2005 ratings, as WRKO saw an increase in every demographic and time period from Fall 2004. Whittemore will return to his consulting practice in Minnesota as of March 1st.

Brian, we hardly knew ye.
