Howard would have worked at WIP as long as he had a pulse. He would have croaked live on the air, probably while calling someone a “moron,” if it was up to him. So no, it wasn’t his decision to leave, and more details will come out regarding that. Very curious to see what “The King” does next. Surely there’s someone out there in need of verbal screeds and social media misinformation.
