This is the best news for Artie fans in a long time. No more Rick. The only thing I'm bummed about is that it doesn't look like they are bringing in anyone else, I was really hoping someone from Stern might join him, or better yet Norm since Sports Show was cancelled. Oh well.

NO FUCKING WAY! Is this real?

U forgot breaking news!!!

**Shine** · 01-10-2013, 07:51 PM

The norm and Artie show would rule

**Double Blizz** · 01-10-2013, 07:52 PM

Holy shit son!

I wonder what the hell happened,guess I gotta start listening again. Is Mike B. and the twins staying? Kinda crazy he only made it just over a year and that's all. He may have had some kinda behind the scenes beef with Artie.

Nick hated being on with Artie..Artie would Go off track and nick would roll his eyes allnight long.

The Yankees win again!

Guess he got tired of playing second fiddle to Artie... he always seemed like he had sand in his vagina when talk show hosts or whoever focused on Artie more.

And what about announcer Mike Bocchetti? Poor guy's father is slowly dying in the hospital as we speak. Will he get the axe too?

Doubtful. He "liked" a post someone made about Rick getting fired on Facebook.

Nick's a curmudgeon and I won't miss him.

I say good day!

Yeah, we know. Mike doesn't miss any opportunity to tweet that his father is slowly dying as we speak in a hospital. BTW, did I mention his father is slowly dying as we speak?

Rick is comedy kryptonite.

I only listened a couple of times. Nick whipped my ass but I liked Artie. However, I don't see how in the hell a guy who doesn't even know how to check his email is supposed to be able to collect, analyze, and organize content and command a radio show. It would definitely be funny listening to the train wreck but how long could that last? I laugh just thinking about Artie trying to do a live read. I guess you get a strong producer and co-host and let them do the heavy lifting.
