Clear Channel Talk 710 WOR New York has finalized its new lineup for 2014.

With morning host John Gambling retiring at the end of this year and Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity moving from Cumulus’ 770 WABC, all but two daytime hours will remain the same.

Elliott Segal’s “Elliot In The Morning“, currently based at Alternative “DC101” WWDC Washington and simulcast on “XL102” WRXL Richmond, VA will move its base of operations to WOR, while being syndicated back to those markets from 6-10am. Before taking over mornings at DC101, Segal co-hosted mornings CHR “Z100” with Elvis Duran.

Mark Simone will remain in the 10am-12pm slot, followed by Limbaugh from 12 to 3 and Hannity from 3-6pm. Andy Dean keeps the 6-9pm slot, while Dave Ramsey’s syndicated show moves from 2-4pm to 9pm-12am, when not pre-empted by New York Mets baseball. Departing the schedule are afternoon host Rita Cosby, the simulcast of KFI Los Angeles’ John & Ken, and Clyde Lewis.

Joan Hamburg will move from weekdays to weekends, with her long-running show airing from 10am-12pm on Saturday and Sunday.

Clear Channel’s Press Release follows:

Clear Channel Media and Entertainment announced today an all-new 2014 programming line-up for New York’s News/Talk station WOR 710 AM.

“Rush and Sean have provided us a great opportunity to bring this unbeatable, one-two combination to WOR as the heart of our lineup in New York,” said Tom Schurr, President of Major Markets for Clear Channel Media and Entertainment. “Talk format listeners are extremely loyal and dedicated to their favorite personalities; this new lineup enables us to both give them what they’ve told us they want to hear and to invest in a format we are deeply committed to.”

WOR listeners will also be able to enjoy the highly successful morning show “Elliot in the Morning” as part of the new line-up beginning on January 13.

“I’m excited to be coming back to New York, to a station with such a legendary history,” said Segal. “We have built something very special in Washington, DC and Richmond and I’m beyond thrilled that the show will continue airing on DC/101 and XL-102. Now, WOR will be home to Elliot In The Morning and I couldn’t be more anxious to get going.”

claim the signal of KTLK 1150 in LA “doesn’t reach past the station’s parking lot”

According to FCC.gov they run

50,000 watts by day
44,000 watts by night

That's some parking lot.

[raccoonradio]

Yup though it's said the signal pattern isn't reaching as much as one would think...a lot goes out to sea. But a lot of people are still covered. Liberals complain about how KTLK got lousy ratings because of the signal, and now they say Rush, etc. will be on that weaker signal. And their shows? Off...

I’m in the WOR - WABC listening area. Just looked up Elliot Segal on wiki. Apparently he’s a “shock jock.” Couldn’t figure out where he stands politically.

BUT: I am thrilled that Joe Bartlett is apparently not getting the morning spot. He is John Gambling’s news director on WOR in the mornings, and often pops into the show itself. Naively liberal — a cheerleader for DeBlasio, and his voice would always go soft and cheery when mentioning Obama. I’m relieved. No matter what Elliot Segal goes, it will be better than Bartlett would have been.

We just lost Quinn & Rose on WPGB 104.7 Pittsburgh and affiliates. It would be cool if they took the morning slots at WOR or WABC. They are apologetically conservative and patriotic and NOT afraid to say what anybody else on conservative talk radio won’t. We hope they are back on the air soon.

Maltzberg is the best!

That he is! Back in the late 90s, Malzberg used to do overnights on WABC and his midnight Sunday (or was it 1am?) take apart the Sunday talk shows segment was must-listen radio. I lost a lot of sleep from that because I could not turn it off.

It'll be interesting to see what happens to Levin's rating without the lead in from Hannity.

I know there are many Savage listeners here, but to me the guy is 100% certifiable..
