HANNITY LIVE ON WSB

[Rick Rose 2.0]

AJC's Rodney Ho is reporting that that Sean Hannity will be live on WSB from 3 to 6 and that Andy Dean's show will also move back an hour. Clark Howard will be live 1 to 3 with a best of hour at 9pm.
I wonder if Hannity was threating to leave if he did not get live clearance or did WSB realize that airing Sean live made more sense in a political season to have a live show.

My guess is that they've found out that a large audience of ill informed listeners are available between 3 and 6 who are easily swayed by twisted, manipulated and even false information spewed out by Hannity on a daily basis.

Andy Dean's show will also move back an hour.

http://blogs.ajc.com/radio-tv-talk/2011/12/09/clark-howard-cutting-back-hours-on-radio/

According to the article, the new schedule is:

Clark 1p-3p
Hannity 3p-6p
Erickson 6p-9p
Best of Clark 9p-10p

Nothing about Andy Dean or Dave Ramsay. Unless they're cutting Dave back an hour, Andy will still be 1a-4a and The ReBoortz Information Overload Hour airs at 4:00.

With Clark H.'s CNN gig, could WSB be trying to ease Clark out? IIRC Clark Howard really does not need the money, so this might work out for both. They have Adam Goldfine (sorry for the spelling) who is "helping" some on Clark's Christmas Kids.

Does the syndicated version of Clark Howard remain at 3 hours?

"Since many radio affiliates still want three hours a day of Howard, his show producers will repackage repeats for a third hour." - the article

I wonder if Hannity was threating (sic) to leave if he did not get live clearance...

I'd love to be a fly on the wall for that little tet-a-tet!

I wonder if all these WGST-on-a-(real) FM rumors might have been driving that.
