Is the show planned to be 3-6 or 3-7 pm, and originating from WTKK? As it is, his show usually emanates from Jay's Long Island (Sag Harbor) home so maybe it will still go on from there, or perhaps even a _NY_ radio studio (will the show be

According to the online reports, he will continue to broadcast from his Long Island home for Westwood One, as he does now for WTKK. My guess is that he will finish up with WTKK in December, then start the new show in January with WTKK as an affiliate. While the WW1 presser does not mention Boston as one of their beginning markets, Infinity doesn't have an outlet to clear Severin's show there, so I think that WW1 and Greater Media will eventually reach an agreement to keep Severin on WTKK. While his WTKK show is "local," he almost exclusively covers national topics anyway so it would be a seamless transition for listeners.
With most of the major conservative syndicated shows starting at 7pm eastern (Savage and the live hour of Ingraham before her midday show replays) I would think that 3-7 would be the daypart.

IIRC, Savage's live clearance recently moved to 6-9 PM ET. One of the TRN channels still carries him until 10 ET, but I believe the last hour is now a repeat of hour 1.

Severin's Phony "Pulitzer"
http://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2005/09/16/severins_phony_pulitzer/
(From the Boston Globe)
"OCCASIONAL LISTENERS to ''Extreme Games" on WTKK are accustomed to host Jay Severin admiring himself in the mirror of his own imagination, a glass so vast and glittering as to rival the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles.
But last Friday, the talkmaster positively outdid himself in setting new laurels upon his brow:
He awarded himself a Pulitzer Prize.
(snip)
Here's what Jay said: ''But since journalism began, and up until the time at least that I took my master's degree at Boston University -- and may I add without being obnoxious, up till and including the time that I received a Pulitzer Prize for my columns for excellence in online journalism from the Columbia School of Journalism...
(snip)
''We looked at the records and there is no record of him winning a Pulitzer Prize," says Sig Gissler, administrator of the Pulitzers. Nor is there a Pulitzer for excellence in online journalism."

Oh well, if Walter Duranty never got stripped of his, why not let Severin award hiself one?
Seriously -- I like Severin's work, but why did he feel the need to do that (providing the story is 100% true)? He's an accomplished radio host... no need to brag here. It's unfortunate.

That's nice. He can perhaps spend some time explaining why we was banned from MSNBC for lying. Among his other delightful comments were the ones explaining why Muslims always turn out to be the terrorists, Bill Clinton is a traitor, Hillary is a bitch, Janet Reno was a lesbian, and Al Gore should be shot for treason.
Charming.

Savage airs 6-9. Stations that run him in the 7-10 slot, replay his first hour from 9-10.

Re: Severino - Infinity
Infin's setting up a new chain of FM talkers, nothing like 'guy talk' 'hot talk' etc., might have Severino in mind.

He was booted from MSNBC for misrepresenting himself to the MSNBC management as well as the rather surprising fact that he had a wife and children contrary to what he told his audience and MSNBC officials. Ref: TVNewser.
The other stuff "among his other delightful comments" was apart from the lies that got him booted.

No idea yet as to whether or not WTKK will carry the new show. It could be
WBZ or WRKO. Severin's contract with Greater Media is up at the end of the
year.
Severino absent again today from WTKK; live Sean Hannity instead. Shades of
things to come?

I guess Bill Clinton will have to go elsewhere
if he ever wants a talk show, since MSNBC
seems to be unique among networks in having
a "thing" about lying.
He could always be a 60 Minutes anchor. Would fit
in well.
