In Boston where I am there are smaller stations which run
her live (late mornings) north and west of Boston and
WTKK (Boston) runs her on a 13 hour delay.
Here is more via Tom Taylor’s http://www.radio-info.com column:
What’s up with Laura Ingraham?
Affiliates are noticing that she’s been absent from the mic for the last week, and that her contract with Talk Radio Network is supposedly up in July. I hear TRN’s Mark Masters – who happily signed Ingraham when she left Westwood and gave her a better daypart* – has put a new contract in her hands. But has she signed it? And if she hasn’t, is TRN using a common management tactic by keeping her away
from the studio until she does, as a negotiating ploy? Her unsigned
status leads to rumors that Ingraham too might be thinking about joining a new syndication unit that would include Sean Hannity and perhaps others. (Don’t count out Fox in all the speculation about Hannity, by the way.) Whatever the truth – and I think the situation
is day-to-day fluid – the timing sure is interesting. Laura’s website
carries this statement: “Due to contractual obligations, for the
present time I am unable to reveal why I am not currently hosting The
Laura Ingraham Show. Rest assured, this absence is not of my
choosing, nor is it health or family-related. I am ready, willing and
eager to continue the conversation we started seven years ago about
politics and the culture. Heck, if cancer couldn’t keep me off the
airwaves for long, nothing will.” She also lists the email and direct
phone number of TRN’s management – doing a little negotiating of her
own.
*—she used to be on at 7 pm when with Westwood One,
I believe.
The reference to Fox is Fox NewsTalk Radio which has
Brian and the Judge, John Gibson, Bill O’Reilly (the
show is prod. by Fox News Talk but syndicated by
Westwood One), Tom Sullivan, Spencer Hughes, and Alan Colmes.
