Hi.
Giant Ping List.
bttt
to all: as you may have seen on FR Rush will probably be changing stations in Philadelphia soon. Supposedly his syndicator Premiere is pulling him off WPHT AM 1210 in favor of a “new station” and speculation is that WKDN FM 106.9
will soon change to a talk format.
WKDN used to be owned by Family Stations (Harold Camping) but is being sold to Merlin Broadcasting. Word is that WKDN is
now building new studios and supposedly the lineup will include a local morning host then Beck, Rush, Hannity etc.
We don’t know a date yet when this will happen but will keep
you informed.

>>Much is being speculated about what Randy Michaels plans to do at WKDN-FM (106.9) in Philadelphia, especially after the announcement that CBS owned WPHT-AM lost Rush Limbaugh. Most syndicated agreements with affiliates include a 90-day opt-out and it appears that’s what happened at WPHT. The CBS Corporate office provided Radio Ink with this statement last night, “Premiere recently notified WPHT they will be syndicating Rush Limbaugh on a new station in Philadelphia. As a result, we are pleased to be able to now showcase Michael (Smerconish), who is a well-known and acclaimed broadcaster in Philadelphia, in this new time period.” When Smerconish is moved to the new time period is “to be determined.”
>>Smerconish was already airing on WPHT after Rush’s program. It’s also important to note that both Sean Hannity and Glen Beck are not on in Philadelphia. Both left the market in late 2010. A likely scenario for WKDN-FM, following a local morning show, could be for Michaels to land the conservative trifecta of Limbaugh, Hannity and Beck on his Philly FM. The move puts Limbaugh on an FM signal in Philadelphia which, little by little, is where a lot of news and talk stations are migrating to try to draw in the younger demos. This also guarantees the show would not be bumped by any Philadelphia Phillies games.
Michaels would only say to us last night that more details about the station would be coming “soon.”
The letter writer hints that the reason Holder won't do anything is because the NBP are black.
