I missed you terribly when they moved you from the drive home and rarely was able to catch you during the day. I was surprised to catch you on WTOP on my drive home, and had to do a search to find out what happened to you. I am glad I can catch you again and look forward to having your on air time expanded, which I am sure will happen.

This is fantastic news, I am so HAPPY to have you back on the air, and in town. Will tune in to CORE values. Best Wishes

Chris, Miss you on WMAL but happy to hear you are back on the airwaves. Best of luck to you and your family. Bill, another Iowan

Dear Chris, On WTOP, after the NC and IN primary you make a criticised how the networks broke down the vote into ethnic and age groups . Then you made a leap that I think is wrong, you seemed to imply that American buy into this race/age/class division. I don't think so. Just because the news organizations break dwon the vote doesn't mean voters look at it that way.

"After you left, I tried listening to Chris Plante but can't warm to his style. " There is nothing to warm up about C. Planteâ??s style and that of those that follow. The meanness of American politics and the polarization of political views either on the streets or the Congress begins at the mouth of talk show host and programs as these.

Chris, while I am thrilled that you are back on the radio with WTOP, I truly miss your talk show on WMAL. After you left, I tried listening to Chris Plante but can't warm to his style. WMAL lost this listener with their decision to remove you from their line-up. I grew up hearing you (my parents listened to Trumball & Core) and I loved listening to your morning talk show while I did my household chores. I hope WTOP (or another station) finds a way to expand on your talents and/or put you back in a talk show format.

Congrat's on the new gig! Thanks for keeping the blog up for as long as you did. Through your blog I made an e-friend. Thank You. I hope your wife has a Wonderful Mother's Day!! I'm sorry you won't be able to spend it with yours. God Bless.

what happend to your blog. It was alot of fun. Puttign out points and counter points. I hope you will bring the blog back.

Hi Chris, I've been a listener since the days of Trumbull & Core on WMAL. I still remember driving home from work in horrendous traffic with your broadcast as my only link to sanity. You were the last remaining member of the local WMAL brand ... in the wake of all-time radio greats like WMAL's Joy Boys (before my time), Harden & Weaver, Felix Grant and Ken Beatrice. What's happened at WMAL is similar to what's happened with the Redskins: No more local identity. Maybe that's why I have lost all interest in the Skins and WMAL. I'm pleased you've found some new air in Washington. Thank you for so many years of excellence on the Washington airwaves. All the best, Peter Dykhuis

Hey Chris, Welcome back. We miss you excruciatingly!! We have never been WTOP listeners but will start listening to drive time. (I do still smile when I hear the INOVA Foot commercial on WMAL) I hope WTOP recognizes the prize they have and that they expand your air time exponentially! The best to you and your family.

Chris, you were the only reason I listened to WMAL. I've listened to you since you were teamed with Bill Trumbull. You were the best thing about WMAL - I have always enjoyed your broadcasts. Your integrity and honesty have always been impressive. I'll be listening for you on WTOP. They are lucky to have you.

Congratulations on your new job. I thought about you frequently wondering how you were doing. I was very disappointed to find out that you were no longer on WMAL and I am so happy that you are back on the air. I missed you! It is so good to hear you again. Warm wishes.

Wow! They kept Nehman and Noory and dumped you. So you are less useful than that pair. That must hurt. On WTOP now? Another good reason to listen to music.

Good to hear you have moved on, Chris! I have enjoyed listening to you for YEARS and you always give me something to think hard about, or to become passionate about! I hope WTOP finds you need 3 hours!

Hello Chris, It's great to see you'll be on WTOP I will listen for you. I do miss your show so many things have happen both on a local level with the Prince Williams actions and results and Nationally with the Rev. Wright issues. You are missed a great deal even though I never agreed with you. LOL It was just fun to listen to you. Well take care

Chris I am very pleased to see you landed right side up. After Michael Graham had to leave it did not surprise me what they did. I still listen to WMAL but not as much as before. Best of luck.

It's hard to keep a good man down....glad you're back on the air. WTOP is just a tad left of Lenin :-) so you will be a welcome balance. Keep the chin up....and kick *SS in 2010 in the People's Republic of Montgomery County!

Chris Core's New Venue Report Commentby Vance G. @ 11:52am - Sun May 4th, 2008 Vance Garnett writes: On another Web site I wrote that I knew that Chris Core would land firmly on his feet, but that I only hoped it would be a situation in whch we, his "fans," could share. Congratulation to WTOP for its wisdom in making "Core Values" a part of its core venue. It's an excellent format for Chris, and I'm sure his activities and participation with the station will expand as time goes on. I only hope he received a good "signing bonus," because as already evidenced by his two spots, he is a real asset to WTOP. And congratulations, Chris, for hooking up with a fine station! - Vance G. ------------------------------------------------------------

Twice in my life I have experienced similar "cutbacks" designed to save money on the short term, only to watch both companies fade into obscurity. Each time I was able to secure better positions and move on. Great things are ahead! And your loyal listeners will follow you. Larry C.
