Stupid move on the part of WOR. Malzberg was competing well against Hannity. David Paterson won’t last a year on WOR. Look what happened when Ellis Henican replaced Bob Grant, and went up against Hannity. Henican didn’t last long.
But Malzberg had on too many guests.
Speculation has it that Malzberg’s contract expired/wasn’t renewed. I think his show was or is syndicated (not sure what becomes of that)
from radio-info.com
>>scott 5:Late this afternoon Steve posted on his facebook page: “Hello everyone. I will be posting an announcement on my website on Thursday afternoon. You can find it at my official site, www.malzbergtalk.com . I appreciate all the emails and all of your concern. I will be able to say more on Thursday.
>>dtothej: I thought I saw a tweet somewhere teasing a major announcement from WOR related to former Governor David Paterson?
Anyway, considering Thursday - today - is September 1, my guess is that Malzberg’s contract expired and WOR is not retaining him, thereby bringing the former Governor aboard for afternoon drive.
