Radio Host Fired For First Time Ever
Chris Booker has been fired from his morning show drive-time job at Q102, the Inquirer reports in a rather huge headline on the front page of Philly.com currently. (The website also switched from a photo of Booker himself to one of him and girlfriend Alycia Lane. Good move!) Q102 is apparently moving “to a show that’s more music-intensive.” Oh, and Diego Ramos will not be fired, though a bunch of other people have been axed as well. I can only imagine that Barsky will soon be the host of a new morning show somewhere. Booker told Mike Klein he was surprised: “I’ve been fired before for low ratings, but never for being No. 1.” On a side note, I enjoy tremendously the poll question on the front page of Philly.com: “Speak out: Did the station act hastily?” Ooh, yes, they should have waited until a full investigation was done of his show. Due process! Booker is fired from Q102 [Inquirer] |

Oh SHIT
Who the fuck is going to pay for Alycia’s spray-ons and the electricity bill for her in-home Mystic Tanning bed?
Awesome! Now Booker will have to sell his Alycia Lane bikini videos to pay the bills, and we’ll all be able to see them!
The article title is completely misleading “Radio Host Fired For First Time Ever”. That is clearly not what he said in his quote.
It seems Chris Booker has landed on his feet. He just signed a 4 year deal in NYC. Good for him.
Q102 sucks now w/o Booker. Booker is/was a legend and I hope they fail miserably now. He was the best thing that ever happened to that station- dummies. WE DON’T WANT MORE MUSIC- WE WANT BOOKER ASSHOLES! GET A CLUE!
What the hell I havent listened in a week now. What will I do on my 45 minute ride to work daily? All I can say is they better get Diego back out on the street to do his funny stuff! You will be losing a huge audience…..
I think that bitch Alycia Lane had something to do with it!!!

glad he is gone… he was an idiot anyway!!! and the 4 yr deal in NYC is not finalized…

Its disappointing. I used to listen every morning. I don’t want more music. They will lose a huge audience.
Q102 sucks now. I stopped listening when Booker left. It’s just not the same. Yeah his girl may have had something to do with it. And she may be a wack job, but he is still the best thing that ever happened to Q102. I bet their ratings went down since Booker left.
Booker was the best thing to happen to Q102, I don’t want more music, I liked their talk show in the morning. Q102 you SUCK!
WTF? I hate the Elvis Duran Show! Q102 is horrible now without Booker, Angi and Blaire. Thank you to the idiots that fired them - now I have to find a new morning show!
The Booker show was awesome! The gang was great and I enjoyed listening on my way to work. I can’t get into Elvis Duran.
Q102 had a good thing and ruined it.
Hopefully they will bring Diego’s Narco Man back as well as all the other funny stunts he did.
I am now a full time converted Preston & Steve listener.
Q102 SUCKS NOW! Booker was the best thing that has ever happened to that station. I used to walk into work and everyone would be talking about the morning show… now everyone is talking about the Preston & Steve show… it’s just not the same without Booker and crew. Dumb move on Q102s part, I’m sure they’re kicking themselves now!
I loved Booker !! Q102 sucks so bad now !! I hope the station goes down for taking the morning show off !
i absolutely hate the new “elvis duran” show. it sucks and he is soooo freakin rude!
I agree, I can’t stand the new show. Q102 will hopefully learn their lesson that they can’t just keep on removing DJ’s that we enjoy listening to. I’m done and not going back. I hope the ratings tank.
