*Ski Anderson is out after five years as weekend talk show host on WLS-AM (890). Until last July, he'd been teamed with Nancy Skinner, who had to leave the ABC-owned station after she declared her candidacy for the U.S. Senate.

Michael Packer, operations director of WLS, is expected to announce a replacement for the noon-to-3 p.m. Sunday time slot later this week.

"After reviewing the ratings history of 'The Ski & Skinner Show' and the fact that in the latest ratings it ranked 13th out of all the WLS weekend shows, we felt it was time to launch a new talk show that will be more compelling and more competitive and move the ratings needle," Packer said.

This made my day. Andersonguy is a complete moron whose inane, inexplicable political rants will no longer spoil the airwaves in Chicago.

Is this the pinko I hera (for the 15 seconds it takes to find another station) on weekend am in Chicago?

[IncPen]

I'm deeply saddened that I've been fired.

[IncPen]

Yep, that's the one.

He looks like a dork!

Are Mike Malloy and Nate Clay still on the air?

[smiley]

Have heard these two left-wing political wacks on the radio....they are not only mean to their callers, BUT they have no idea of the facts or what they stand for...good news for America!

[IncPen]

Nate Clay is on, but Malloy isn't listed...

Another LW show bites the dust.

First Nancy self-immolated, now Nancyguy gets the boot.

EXCELLENT!!!

Jeez, how I miss Larry Lujack.

[whereasandsoforth]

I have never heard of him so he could not possibly be important.

WLS needs SAVAGE.

Hey, I can dream.

WLS needs SAVAGE.

WLS needs Larry Elder.

Nate Clay was (and is) an old school barbershop philosopher who can be quite entertaining at times. I remember one episode where (despite his liberal credentials as an assistant to Harold Washington) Nate attacked U of Chicago for having courses in Queer Studies.

Nancy Skinner's running for Senator? They might as well start referring to it as her "ill-fated run for the Senate' right now.

It's about time! I wrote the manager earlier this summer saying they should dump these two!!! What a bunch of morons they are...bitter lefties!!!!

Since Sean Hannity is replayed for 3 hours on Saturday nights on WLS AM 890, Coast to Coast AM should be played on Ski & Skinner's former time slot on Sunday. There is a lot more truth on Coast to Coast AM than on Ski & Skinner.
