update—Talk 1200 not necessarily ending but they had to cut costs...so Katz and Severin are gone. Rest of lineup:
6am Andy Dean (from day before), 9 am Beck
Noon FOR NOW Rush (debut on WRKO 8/20). 3 pm Hannity (live).
6 pm Mark Levin (live). 9 pm on—Coast to Coast Early Edition and Coast to Coast (BUT C2C moves to RKO, too)
Clear Channel just paid $14 million for WFNX 101.7 and made it a “variety hits” station. It may make money. But 1200 apparently wasn’t. However CC wants to clear the shows its Premiere division puts out (run the shows, run the ads, tell the sponsors “your spots are being heard in Boston!”). That means Rush and C2C on RKO,
and shows like Beck, Sean etc. stay on 1200.
For now. But again the local talk is gone.
Wow. Saves me a button on my car radio. Katz and Severin are both superior to Howie Carr, imho.
Keep me posted if they turn up elsewhere.
I listened to whatever that crap that was on 1200 at 8:00 am this morning. They had some woman and man driveling on about some woman who was arrested for leading cops on a topless car chase. Not listening to that again.
Mark Levin might be worthwhile, but Jay was only 3:00-6:00 anyway. Hannity doesn’t do it for me.
Too bad. Let me know if another job is created for Jay somewhere.
