Interestingly enough, ABC-owned Radio Disney and ESPN
Radio are not affected.
There's a crazy quilt of radio networks, radio ownership
groups, syndicators, etc.--I can't get it straight. You might have a network called "Fox Sports Radio" that is actually owned
by Premiere (Rush's syndicator), or is it Westwood One,
and "NBC News Radio" that's actually owned by Westwood One
and not NBC...?!?
Premiere does: Drudge, Rush, Phil Hendrie, Glenn Beck,
and Coast to Coast (Noory/Bell). In Boston, WRKO airs
Drudge, Rush, and Coast to Coast so evidently they're
the Premiere "affiliate". Oh, and Premiere does own
Fox News Radio. That's right. NOT Fox.
And Fox News Radio isn't the same as Fox Sports Radio
or Fox talk radio...I think. I'm so confused :)

In Boston Entercom's WRKO runs news from both ABC and
Fox News, while Fox Sports Radio programming runs on its
sister station, WEEI. Greater Media's WTKK has newscasts
from both CNN and "NBC News Radio" and they carry Westwood
One-syndicated shows like Bill O'Reilly, and at least
one ABC-syndicated show, Hannity...There's a station that runs ESPN Sports but is not owned by them, etc.
Let's see, I went to Westwood One's page and find that for news radio networks they own: CBS, CNBC Business Radio,
CNN Headline News, NBC News Radio...for talk they have
Imus, Ron Insana, O'Reilly (all of which are on WTKK), etc.
>>ABC-syndicated show, Hannity
And just to add to the confusion, while Hannity's radio show is put out by ABC, his nightly TV show, with Colmes, is on
Fox News!
>>And Fox News Radio isn't the same as Fox Sports Radio
or Fox talk radio...I think. I'm so confused :)
meaning I don't think Fox News, Fox Sports, and Fox talk shows come from the same company :)
