Most significantly, Kuhner won’t cost WRKO $500K a year up front.
Rumors are that Rush’s Cleveland station is about to drop him for the same reason. He is going to have to rethink his business model.
Many iHeart talk stations are
obligated to run Rush at noon
(In Boston the new AM 1430 is
owned by them).This includes
920 in Prov, 95.1 Cape Cod, 580
and 94.9 Worc., and 610 Manch NH
so syndie Kuhner may not happen
there (maybe a competing station
like 1370 in Manch or 830 in
Worc could try).Rush’s contract
with iHeart-Premiere ends next yr..
would he retire or sign elsewhere?
Kuhner may see opportunity in this.
