I was actually expecting WIP to anoint John Johnsen as the successor with Morganti, Hughes and Keith Jones.

I'll expect to see lots of Cataldi hate here but for me he has been entertaining for the past 30 years and his ratings really can't be argued with. Yes, he's a loudmouth who gets people riled-up over BS sports stuff but that's his job. It keeps people listening.

Him leaving WIP is both a blessing and a curse for Audacy, whose stock is in the shitter and under threat of being delisted. He's paid well over $1Million a year and Richie and DeCamara's salaries together are probably less than half of Cataldi's, but I'd expect a somewhat significant ratings drop after he's gone. People have way too many other audible entertainment options these days.

I suspect that Morganti will be slowly shown the door. He's got his other Hockey analyst jobs and well, let's face it, adds about 5% of content to the morning show as it is.
