Savage was right; he's replacing hannity on cumulus (including wbap)

L

longtimelistener

MICHAEL SAVAGE made official what he predicted in AUGUST (NET NEWS 8/16), telling listeners to his show WEDNESDAY night that he will take over SEAN HANNITY's 3-6p (ET) slot on HANNITY's CUMULUS-owned Talk affiliates.

SAVAGE, syndicated by CUMULUS MEDIA NETWORKS and presently in the evening slot, said, "I was born ready" for the move, announcing that the move to 3-6p (ET) will come in JANUARY. SAVAGE said that he will air on 60 CUMULUS stations, including WABC-A/NEW YORK, WLS-A/CHICAGO, WBAP-A-F/DALLAS, WMAL-A-F/WASHINGTON, KSFO-A/SAN FRANCISCO, and WJR-A/DETROIT, and called it "the biggest shakeup in talk radio history."
 
Jones was riffing last night on "Rehashed Topics Ad Infinitum Overnight" on how the Dickey Brothers were out to destroy talk radio. I was like, "Whatever."

As always, just follow the money.

Just how well can 71 yr old Savage related to a 25-54 audience?

The same way Howard Stern, who is 60 next year, relates to a predominantly 25 to 44 year old core.
 
Interesting how the tone of Hannity's show has changed from less cheerleading for the Republican establishment and to more like stuff you hear from Libertarian/Tea Party or conspiracy talkers. Maybe he's see the handwriting on the wall.
 
The only reason Cumulus is going with Mr. Savage is the dollar savings. Both Clear Channel and Cumulus have overwhelming debt loads and cutting expenses is a must. Clear Channel has more debt than Detroit.

I would have said ANYTHING is better than comb-over Hannity but with Savage?? I gag at either one...
