Entercom Boston VP/Market Manager Phil Zachary said the end result is proof that talk radio isn't just viable in 2014, it's vital. "When I hear rumblings that talk radio is on the wane and then see crowds turn out and give as they did for the Fisher House Radiothon, I wonder just what the naysayers are smoking," he said. "Jeff, Barry, Bill Cooksey and the entire 'RKO team leveraged the umbilical connection they enjoy with their listeners and in just 13 hours forever changed the quality of life for Massachusetts' greatest heroes and their families."
