Now that kuhner doesn't have rush to do his show prep for him, he'll probably rely on hannity.......be prepared for kuhner to start saying "am I wrong" at the end of every opinion he gives.

Boston's WRKO-AM 680 to Debut The Grace Curley Show
- Thread starter Y2kTheNewOldies
- Start date
For awhile WRKO ran Pags followed by John Batchelor at night.Then they put Jesse Kelly on and moved Pags to 10 pm.
Now acc to RadioInsight Batchelor's show is ending.Produced at WABC for Cumulus I believe;
For those still airing it, reruns will air then show will end.

Very weird for John Batchelor's show to end with no advance notice.
Think it might have something to do with this?

Well, that sucks. I wish him the best. His delivery was dry but his shows were always very, very informative with extremely interesting guests. Not sure there's another show like his out there.

Batchelor and Mike Siegel, two of my favorite talkshow hosts, intelligent, articulate, no ego involved, no nonsense, no hysteria, just damn good radio. I wish Batchelor the best and I wish RKO would bring back Siegel, he'd be excellent in the 6a-10a slot or even the 12p-3p slot or any damn slot on that station for that matter!
Siegel's up there.. Wikipedia has him pushing 75. Maybe at that age you want to slow down and enjoy whatever time you have left, especially when others around you your age or less are starting to drop.
Looks like he's buying airtime saturdays at a station in arizona:

As it turns out, go over to talkers.com for Wednesday to read where Batchelor is off the air at WABC because, in a change that occurred quietly earlier this week, his program is now syndicated by CBS NewsRadio instead of Westwood One. So, John is still on the air, just not on WABC. No mention of his cancer, thank God.
This is quite a case of topic drift.
If anyone gets wind of what stations that Batchelor ends up on, could you let us know?

Looks like Cumulus is replacing him with Dan Bognino on their stations.
Batchelor may have to wait until the end of the month before announcing anything.
Curley show added to WGAN Portland, WKBK Keene, WFEA Manchester
Howie says more stations to be announced next week. iHeart stations other than RKO a tough get, committed to what was Rush show
WGAN has Rush Noon - 3. Will Grace be replacing Rush or running on delay in a different day part?
Guessing she will be on live but we'll find out.They aren't iHeart/mandated to carry Rush (--Rush successor).Am guessing station announcement(s) come tomorrow on all 3.
I'm guessing the compensation is much less to carry Grace than the current Rush show.
All three of those stations are owned by Saga Communications, and they're looking to cut expenses.
She's nowhere near a one-for-one replacement. But she's a warm body in a chair, as they say.
When the bar is that low, that's not really saying a whole hell of a lot, you realize.
She's also a heck of a lot better than K0000nah.
I think it's helpful that she has the marketing/advertising experience of working with sponsors prior to becoming on air talent. Seems like a lot of Howie's sponsors are happy to spend on her show as well.
WGAN sched says Rush, Howie, Levin, Batchelor (who switches syndicators). I would think they carry Grace live--current and regional--and don't know if they would tape delay Rush reruns/new host till later.
