Smerconish Gone From WPHT — Teri Adams of the Independence Hall Tea Party Association tells us that as of yesterday, April 15, WPHT 1210 AM has a new daily lineup that does not feature Michael Smerconish, who has apparently invested the 30 pieces of silver he has earned over the last five years into a podcast.
Chris Stigall runs from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m.; the always great Dom Giordano adds another hour and runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and national pundit Dick Morris joins Gary R’nel from 2 to 6 p.m.
Rush Limbaugh is moving back to FM in Philly where he lived through most of the ’90s if reports are accurate.
Dom Giordano Hecht Of An Announcer — Congratulations to Dom Giordano of WPHT 1210AM for winning the Ben Hecht Award for Outstanding Journalism, which is presented by The Philadelphia District of the Zionist Organization of America, a
non-profit group that concentrates on education, advocacy and outreach
on behalf of Israel and a strong and mutually beneficial U.S.-Israel
relationship.
Hecht is best known for his screenplays which include Scarface (the original); Notorious and, most iconically, The Front Page and His Gal Friday.
Before becoming the toast of Hollywood Hecht made his fame as a Hildy-Johnson-type Chicago journalist.
Hecht, who was Jewish, was a notable supporter of Israel during the nation’s birth pangs.
