Westwood One is shaking up its weekday afternoon Conservative Talk block in January 2019.
Michael Savage’s “The Savage Nation” will cut back from three hours to one hour daily from 3-4pm eastern while Ben Shapiro takes over the 4-6pm slot. Cumulus launched Ben Shapiro on six stations in April including a live clearance on 770 WABC New York and delayed clearances on WMAL Washington DC, WLS Chicago, WYAY Atlanta, and KABC Los Angeles. The live show will be separate from Shapiro’s daily podcast.
It is that daily podcast/live broadcast model that Savage will switch to. He will host the daily afternoon show as well as a separate daily podcast in January.
I like Shapiro, he always has some useful argument with which to spear the left... and it’s never based on some late night tinfoil conspiracy theory... so if you use it, you won’t regret it later.
He’s squarely in the middle of the Ben Shapiro Is The Smartest Of Them All circle jerk and won’t last long in this slot.
I bet that works on people with short memories.
"In my opinion, Steve Bannon is a bully, and has sold out Andrew’s mission in order to back another bully, Donald Trump; he has shaped the company into Trump’s personal Pravda, to the extent that he abandoned and undercut his own reporter, Breitbart News’ Michelle Fields, in order to protect Trump’s bully campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, who allegedly assaulted Michelle."
Hunh. I wonder what Michelle Fields groupie said that.
Shapiro only cares about protecting Israel’s borders, and has said many times he doesn’t care about America’s demographics.
He’s a Neocon shill for cheap labor and the warhawks.
This Never Trumper is getting a slot because he is a Never Trumper and besides he tried to ruin Corey Lowendowski’s life with that goofy Michelle Fields accusation. Lost all credibility with me.
Not sure how an observant Jew can be ok with abortion.
Just like Hugh Hewitt and Mark Levin, who started out as NeverTrumpers, you face a moment of having to choose between embracing Trump or losing your audience and your show.
I tried to like Ben Shapiro, as I don't want to only follow 100% no-matter-what pro-Trump commentary - Trump is human like everyone else, and stands to benefit from fair criticism. However:
That’s true.
For the longest time the thin skinned crybaby would repeat the first half of his show.
Tune in at the beginning of the show, and you’ll hear it all again word for word at the bottom of the second hour.
“I am a big fan of Shapiro’s.”
You either don’t know anything about Shapiro or you just are not that intelligent.
Shapiro is a Romney bot. He slobbers over Romney and thought he would win. Some of Shapiro’s hatred of Trump and conservatives as well as his dishonesty sounds exactly like Romney.
Here is an example of little Ben slobbering over Romney.

An hour a day?
no longer the Savage Nation, more like the Savage County.
Yep. I’ll never listen to Pajama Boy.
Should have given that spot to Bongono,
if he wanted it.
He’s a proud protégé of Ben Wattenberg.
“Ben is not a Never Trumper.”
He is in spades. He’s a gaslighter-prevaricator. A POS. A trotskyite that has infiltrated the republican party. A Bill Kristol clone.
Or I just disagree with you. Simple as that. I've been around these part a long time, its happened before.
Fox is giving Shapiro an hour-long show, Sunday, 8 PM Eastern. Ick.
“Ahead of Sunday night’s premiere episode of “The Ben Shapiro Election Special” at 8:00pm ET, Fox News Insider talked with Shapiro about the stakes on Election Day, the big issues he’ll cover on the show and what viewers can expect to see.
During the hour-long program, Shapiro will speak with election experts and take on pundits from both sides of the aisle, promising to call it like he sees it in his signature style.
“I coined the ‘good Trump, bad Trump’ model. When President Trump does something good, he’s worthy of our praise. When he does something bad, he’s not,” Shapiro said, adding he’s “happy to tick off” people from either side with his arguments.”
He speaks too fast for me to understand him. As I result, I never watch or listen to him.
“Ben is not a Never Trumper.”
And his nasal voice is quite something! You hear him and you just want to slap him on the face to make him shut it up.
