Just called the flagship station and the girl said that they apparently were in contract negotiations with THE STATION (not clear channel) and negotiations “fell apart” over the weekend.
Stinks out loud.
This is big.
I smell Premiere. Lots of flux is ongoing within the radio syndication biz at this time. There will be more changes. Popular shows with ratings will show up somewhere else on the dial.
This isn’t the first time Clear Channel has pulled this ‘contract negotiations’ crap. Same thing happened to a popular morning show duo in Spokane...said they were “negotiating”, then their presence was scrubbed from the station’s website.
This stinks on ice.
If so, they should have their own syndication deals and be able to broadcast from an undisclosed, remote location.
