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)

>>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.

>>Hello my dear radio family. As you may know by now, WOR Radio has decided not to renew my contract which expires in October. They have also elected not to have me finish out my contract, so I am officially done with my on-air shows on WOR. I am extremely proud of the 4 years in PM-Drive there. I could not have imagined the great success, which came very quickly. (Not entirely true, I knew we would rock!) I wish my successor David Patterson all the best. Please understand that this is not the end of the Steve Malzberg Show, just a detour on the road to a better and bigger forum for all of us.
