I would just like to say that WMAL made a bad decision when they let Chris go. I will turn on a another station. Maybe they will pick Chris up!

I only found out that Chris left WMAL very recently (oddly enough, from Don Geronimo, another former WDC DJ) and at about the same time started hearing his “Core Values” pieces on WTOP. I’m glad to see it was a business decision (although a bad one) that put Chris out the WMAL door and not some crazy editorial decision. He was and remains a favorite hometown voice.

What I really miss is the Trumbull and Core Show – what a delight to feel you were visiting in someone’s home, listening and smiling as Syd-No-Rama (sp?) reviewed movies by the title alone. And Andy Parks’ Guest Flight Attendant routines were so funny! I guess it’s an age thing – humor doesn’t have to be loud and crude. WMAL used to have lots of really wonderful deejays, playing everything from the Cats score to jazz.

[...] Core, who found himself on the losing end of stupid-assed corporation at the end of February, has a great post about unemployment up today: [Y]ou would not believe how many of my friends, [...]

Thanks for the memories. I have been in DC metro for 18 months contracting and working locally as an employee for 6 months commuting back to OH on weekends.

I have enjoyed your repartee.

We are poorer with your departure.

Been out of town, and just found out today that Chris Core has been replaced. Couldn’t believe it! Ruth Hayden’s sentiments are mine exactly. Guess I’ll tune in only to 103.5 for news and traffic, or my CDs.

At this rate I won’t even care about the early demise of radio.

Joke is on WMAL. I’ve now switched back to music radio and my ipod. Chris Plante sucks and is very boring. Chris Core had a rare talent of discussing issues from various points of view that lacking on all other talk radio. And most important -Chris showed respect to callers even if he disagreed with their stance on issue(s).

Chris as I posted in your site I’ve listened to you since 1978 when I moved here from CA with my stepfather at the age of 9. Citadel screwed up IMO but whats done is done I guess. Your voice was a comfort on 9/11/01, and it is one I will truly miss. You join some notable people I listened to if it helps you to know: Bill Trumble, Tim Brant, Ken Beatrice, Dr. Laura, among many others. You’re in great company as you should be. Post when / where you get a gig and I’ll tune in. Till then god bless and enjoy the time with your little girl. All the best.
