What will WOR do? Doyle does a great show that should appeal to Savage's listeners. Smart move, I'd say.

I agree with most of this. Doyle, like Savage, is quick witted and has a hard edge but he seems to know exactly where the line is that should not be crossed. I think he'll be good for listeners and good for sales.

Smart move on TRN's part. Will WOR bite? Doyle is from Brooklyn originally.

Savage was quoted today saying if he were to air in the same slot as Rush he’d beat him. Huckabee's days on WOR might be numbered.

I personally prefer Doyle in Savage's old slot and Savage going up against Rush.

Now that's a station I could leave on all day! Gambling, Gallagher, Savage, Paterson, Doyle ... get rid of the nonsense at night, add some local content in the evenings and on weekends, and you'd have a real news/talk station.

Unfortunately that's not going to happen. My guess as to why WOR is running Savage repeats instead of introducing Doyle to the audience is that it's in preparation for an onslaught of Premier shows coming soon.

So David Lee Roth might spend more time than a legitimate talk talent in New York radio?

I heard that KKSF's San Francisco's Bill Wattenburg was also named to be a fill-in for Doyle. Incidentally Savage got his start in San Francisco radio by doing fill-ins for Wattenburg, Bernie Ward, and Ray Tallifero before KSFO-AM got him for PM drive.

I stand corrected ... WOR is airing Jerry Doyle tonight (but not on the Web.)

Huckabee isn't any more legit than David Lee Roth.
