Westwood One announced that Ben Shapiro will take over two hours previously held by Michael Savage. That means Savage will be cut to 1 hour, and Shapiro will take the other two.

I wonder what this means for Savage moving forward. The company says it wants him to focus more on a daily podcast, which is what Shapiro will continue to do as well.
The new feature to Shapiro's show will be fewer commercials, and those they do will be live host reads, similar to what he does in his podcast. That should appeal to talk show listeners, who usually get more commercials than music formats.
