WIOD in Miami? is this a CBS station? how did XM get this content?
nope.. not CBS, its a clear channel station

I wonder if XM will play the "Larry King raveout" where a listener called in asking a journalism question and Larry thinks it's about how to get into the medical field, and then goes off on a strange tangent about how he's a "pro-fessional...look it up in the book."
I'd also like to hear the time he took over Don & Mike's WAVA morning show right before his (first?) heart attack as an April Fools Day joke.
I hope XM plays the interview where Larry neglects to ask any questions that would cause the interviewee a single moment of introspection or honesty, puts the audience to sleep with his monotone dead-man's growl, and conducts the interview while performing fellatio on himself and the subject. Man, that was a good one...
By the way, Larry is the one that XM should have thrown 55 mil. at, not Oprah. I'm sure Larry would have regaled us with stories of him and Sandy Koufax listening to their Innos at the gym.
Shithouse Falls North Dakota, hello! Hi, Larry. Love you, love your show.
I love Garlique and Welch's grape juice
Abe, you are right about the Opra vs. Larry thing. Opra= sleepy time
Larry= radio gold!
