Bob and Kendel Ehrlich said to be shopping radio show around
Less than a week after WBAL Radio said Kendel Ehrlich was leaving the station to spend more time at her kids' sporting events, she and former Gov. Bob Ehrlich were said to be shopping their radio show around.
Maybe the Ehrlichs found life on the sidelines wasn't what it was cracked up to be.
The Ehrlichs and longtime aide Greg Massoni were at WCBM Thursday to talk about doing a show there, a source tells me. I called the AM talk station Friday afternoon and told General Manager Bob Pettit what I'd heard. Pettit neither confirmed nor denied the account.
"Where'd you hear that?" was his response.
He then added: "We’d love to have them here. They’re great people."
My colleague David Zurawik reported last week that Kendel Ehrlich was leaving WBAL. Station officials told him her exit was unrelated to WBAL-TV's Jayne Miller's pressing Bob Ehrlich for comment on deceptive Election Day robocalls made on his behalf.
WBAL officials said Kendel Ehrlich "was making the move in an effort to spend more time at Saturday sports events involving her family," Zurawik reported.
I tried to reach the Ehrlichs through Massoni but did not hear back from him right away. If he calls back, I'll update this post.

like another losing politician, they will keep taking from the sheep that follow them around even though they have been rendered "irrelevant"

What would they talk about? Besides, where would they take the show even if someone else was interested in rehashing the same whining and trying to set the stage for yet another political comeback?

OK Bob and Kendall we need you back on the airwaves to at least keep O.Mealey mouth on guard and his phony agenda which a blind man in a snowstorm can see...with Babs mikulski in three yeras stepping down, OMealey appointing himself and well we see the picture and sad that the ignorant, unsophisticated and uneducated are used by him. Please Bob keep him off balance...

Why would anyone hire them?

I love this.
Seems that the old "spend more time with my family" excuse is badly exposed here. What a pathetic loser. And her husband is no prize, either.
I can't figure out who they think their audience is either. Conservatives hate Bobby Haircut because of his 30% increase in spending when he was in office and he was so disingenuous about how he was going to balance the budget (fees?). Moderates hate him because of his record of abiding racists in his party.

OH PLEASE !!!!!
Do we have to endlessly hear about these irrelevant people? So what about their radio show! They are both so disingenuous in everything they do and say, I am surprised they have a listening audience at all. And Kendel wants to spend more time with her children...more time than what? Is it that she changed her mind so quickly at the prospect of a new broadcast opportunity, or more likely Bob can't adjust to the life the rest of us lead in Normal Land.
