Guessing that Premier Radio Networks, which syndicates Rush, Sean Hannity and dozens of other personalities, was kicking the tires and making him an offer. Cumulus didn’t want to lose him and locked up Levin with a five-year deal.
It’s interesting that Mark often mentions Sean and Rush on his show, but there is never a peep about Savage. I’m sure that drives him crazy, because he has always wanted to be a part of the conservative radio club, but the other major players won’t give him the time of day. That’s one reason he always tries to bait the other hosts with references to “the golfer,” “Harvey Wallbanger,” etc
I gave up on Savage during the Dubai Ports controversy when he invited Chuck Schumer on the air and practically gave him a radio Lewinsky.
Mark despises Savage...he calls him by his real name, “Weiner.”
