December 23, 2004 MSNBC host Joe Scarborough, who's been waylaid by a bad back, has inked a deal with Westwood One to launch a radio version of "Scarborough Country." The show, premiering Feb. 7, will air weekdays (10 a.m.-1 p.m.) and will originate from the Westwood One studios here. No word yet on a New York outlet. Scarborough will continue hosting "Scarborough Country," which airs 10 p.m. weeknights on MSNBC.
Just how bad do you have to be to get a radio deal?
