In a huge vote of confidence, CBS is having Toucher and Rich fill in for Opie and Anthony on WBCN
, for two weeks starting April 23, as well as continue to do their afternoon shift.
A 'BCN insider forwarded me this blurb from this morning's Radio and Records:
Twice A Day For $20K Admit it: You friggin’ loooove Toucher & Rich in the afternoon on WBCN/Boston. OK, so you tolerate them on the ride home ... but starting Monday, April 23, unsuspecting ‘BCN listeners will be “rewarded” with a double dose of T&R because they will also be filling in for vacationing morning dudes Opie & Anthony! [Ed. note: Please hold your applause....] Now, the good news: In order to entice you to listen, the boys will be handed $20,000 to give away indiscriminately over the two-week period, $1,000 every morning and afternoon. They even gave the scam a clever name: “The Toucher & Rich $20K Takeover!” Here’s PD Dave Wellington to tell us more: “Toucher & Rich are doing something that only a heartless upper-management team would force them to do — doing two shows a day for two weeks! Yes, we do have a way of sucking the life out of our talent,” he tells ST Daily. “Have I told you how much I love these guys?”
