“News Talk 77” WABC New York will roll in the new year without two of its highest profile personalities. Rush Limbaugh is changing affiliates, crossing the street to Clear Channel news-talk “Radio 710” WOR. And Sean Hannity’s split with Cumulus Media opens up afternoons on WABC.
While Cumulus hasn’t formally said how it will replace Hannity, it has disclosed that Limbaugh’s successor in New York will be a local host. “This gives us a chance to put on a good strong local talent in New York City that’s really going to be very reflective of the community" here in the tri-state area,” CEO Lew Dickey told Bloomberg yesterday. A local show will be a departure for WABC, which airs virtually all syndicated programming, Monday-Friday.
Cumulus Announces Savage Sponsorship Deal. When Cumulus Media Networks’ “Savage Nation” with host Michael Savage moves to the 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm ET live slot in January, the program will enjoy Swiss America Trading Corporation as the presenting sponsor of the show. The company reports that the year-long deal will build upon a 12-year relationship between Savage’s show and Swiss America. The sponsorship agreement will expand Swiss America’s current presence on the show, with the program to be referred to as “The Savage Nation, Presented by Swiss America.” Savage comments, “I am thrilled to have Swiss America as the presenting sponsor of ‘The Savage Nation.’ This is the most significant partnership ever announced for our show and Swiss America’s interest in deepening their relationship is a testament to our increasingly growing audience.”
Saying L.A.'s KTLK is a "somewhat lower-powered station" than KFI is liking saying Torquemada was something of a busybody. The station loses millions of people during their commutes (if it had them) and is noisy for most of the rest.
The message is clear. KFI took drastic measures to avoid having to pick up Sean Hannity in January. He is SO not L.A. I know. I lived there or nearby for 15 years.
Another message is clear. It's over for Limbaugh. With major demotions in L. A. and New York, coupled with being on several major-but-collapsing Cumulus stations, his national ratings and revenue will plunge precipitously next year.
Incidentally, no all-syndicated "Patriot"-style station has succeeded anywhere. Ever.

Limbaugh used to be thoughtful, insightful and frequently funny -- human even, and, I once thought, a truth-seeker. He once talked about more than politics and when he did talk politics he wasn't as extreme, strident and hugely predictable as he is today. In short, I feel he was seduced by power and the other trappings of being a demagogue. I don't know what Hannity used to be like but I assume he evolved like Rush, albeit on a smaller, more simple, even more polarized scale. I regret having abetted Limbaugh's introduction to the nation.

Conservative radio host Michael Savage will now hold forth on WABC in the 3-6 p.m. slot
...'He'll take over from Sean Hannity, who's moving to WOR; he promises an interesting, 'Obamacare-free zone
WHEN Michael Savage is prepping for his daily talk radio show, which moves into the 3-6 p.m. afternoon slot Wednesday on WABC (770 AM), he doesn’t listen to talk radio More likely, he says, he’s listening to Blue Note’s 25-CD collection of great jazz recordings
That’s not completely random coincidence “Doing radio for me is a lot like playing jazz,” says Savage. “It’s all about reaching for the notes, even the ones I know I can’t reach. Like Charlie Parker “My regular listeners know that. They hear me reaching all the time, and if I can’t get there, it’s all right. That’s what radio is.”
It’s a strikingly philosophical approach to a business built on black-and-white declarations delivered with absolute confidence Savage knows that landscape and says it’s one reason he has a good chance to rise above the pack once New York talk radio plunges into its biggest shuffle in many years
As of Wednesday, WABC’s long-time afternoon anchors — Rush Limbaugh at noon and Sean Hannity at 3 p.m. — move to WOR710 AM
WABC has not announced a host for Limbaugh’s spot. Savage is taking Hannity’s, and all eyes will be watching to see who’s on top when the dust starts to settle Savage thinks he offers a strong alternative to Hannity
“I know what Sean does,” he says. “He works from Republican Party talking points. He says he doesn’t any more, but he does “I don’t. You can’t drone on about the Bill of Rights. It’s just not interesting radio. My show is also an Obamacare-free zone. Who wants to hear about that?” It’s not that Savage never talks politics, or hot-button issues. Ask any listener who has heard him crank it up on immigration, border security or what he sees as the ever-growing tentacles of big government and the entitlement society it encourages
“My views changed during the year I was a social worker in New York,” says the 71-year-old Savage, who was born in the Bronx, graduated from Jamaica High and Queens College and now lives in the San Francisco area
“I was working for the Department of Welfare, and I began to realize people who were on welfare — my clients — were living better than I was. That opened my eyes and changed my political beliefs.” Regular Savage listeners have heard him expound on this subject in dire tones, warning that the “50% of the country” that doesn’t want to work is suffocating the 50% that does
Savage says he doesn’t consider himself a prophet of doom. “Hope,” he says, “springs eternal.” He does not, however, hold out much hope in this area: “I see no way big government, once it starts to spread, can be stopped.” What he does see is a world where, mercifully, politics is not the only concern “On my show tonight,” he says, “I’ll talk for a while about a museum I visited, and some things I saw there. I won’t lead the show with it, but I’ll talk about it, because my listeners will be interested.”
A typical Savage show will weave through food, travel, music and his dog Teddy as he sorts out the events of the day What matters, he says, is that there’s a point to all of it and he will get back there. Just like that jazz saxman. “When I was growing up in New York, I’d listen to Symphony Sid at 2 in the morning,” he says. “I’d listen to Mel Allen. Their voices were reassuring to me. “In the same way, my listeners like having my voice in their lives. They know that if they keep listening, they will hear the songbook.”
I'm glad that Curtis finally came around to understanding that he needs Kuby. He's tried various other "partners" (more like "sidekicks") with mixed results. Kuby is smart, has a sense of humor and knows when to back off. That combination takes the edge off of Curtis.
As for as Ron Kuby goes, I have to say, it's a surprise. It's not like he doesn't have another career that has demands in middays. As far as radio goes, Curtis gives him the opportunity to be the "voice of reason" against Curtis' sometimes over the top pronouncements. He's a great debater but needs to be "prodded" (for lack of a better word). Curtis certainly does that.
A great example of the combination being greater than the sum of the individual parts.
It also give WABC a "Morning Show In Waiting" for Imus' eventual ride off into the New Mexico sunset...
Good move by WABC. Boy, it's been a long time since I've been able to write THAT!
