Another entrant is joining the battle for affiliates in Rush Limbaugh’s former 12-3pm eastern time slot.
580 WHP Harrisburg PA afternoon host and former Limbaugh fill-in Ken Matthews has partnered with Talk Media Network to launch a national show in the 12-3pm timeslot. Matthews pivoted to talk in 2009 as a fill-in at WKXW Trenton before joining WHP as afternoon host in 2013. He is best known for his 15 year run in mornings at CHR “B104” WAEB-FM Allentown PA from 1991-2006 and has also worked at stations in Portland ME, Cincinnati, and Charleston SC in his career
How many different shows already out
there in that slot?
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton(Premiere)
Dan Bongino (Cumulus...for now)
Jimmy Failla (Fox News Radio)
Grace Curley (synd in northeast)
Dana Loesch
Erick Erickson
I never liked Ken Matthews filling on for Rush. Mark Steyn was great as a fill-in but I don’t think I would enjoy him everyday. No interest in Clay/Buck. I guess Rush made it look easy. Wilkow is starting to grow on me.
Hey, we have a deep bench. The success of Rush saw to that.
My favorite sub for Rush was Todd Herman out of, of all places, Seattle.
I always like that Mark guy from Milwaukee
Dittos on Todd Herman.
I enjoy the War Room with Jim Quinn on WYSL 1040 and n the morning and Bongino on The way home
So far I prefer Dana Loesch.
Todd Herman/Mark Steyn, could do that for a while. The rest are really tedious and whiny.
I liked Herman more than Matthews but Mark Steyn was my favorite sub-host by far. He’s working for a UK conservative TV startup right now...GB News.
I’m a big Quinn fan as well. Then I switch over to America’s Choice news for background throughout the day.
Mark Belling. I have listen to him often over the past 30 years. His show is still great, although he meanders much more as he gets older. It was always funny to hear him sub for Rush - he was so much nicer than with his regular Milwaukee audience.

Ken Matthews has been relentless sand in the shorts for PA Governor Tom Wolf.
Agree with you on Todd Herman. Far better than Ken Matthews. (Matthews is not bad, it’s just that Herman is so much better.)
None of them can come close to the Maharishi.
ANYONE BUT SEAN HANNITY !!!
Were he still blessing us, Professor Walter Williams.
SteynOnline says they will have it for FREE. Also you can definitely watch for FREE on GB News.
Rob Carson, who produced comedic material for our beloved Rush, recently launched a Noon to 3 PM show based out of my local Baltimore MAGA station WCBM in Baltimore. He now has branched out to 3 affiliates.
Also, I like Todd Starnes, who has a Noon to 3 slot out of his native Mississippi, whose show is gaining stations as well. Here in the Baltimore area, WCBM delays his program until 10 PM right after Mark Levin.
I like both of these the most so far—but Mark Steyn was always my favorite Rush guest host.
