Re: How long will it go on?
Here's some possible reasons:
1. Timing. Talk radio generally doesn't do well in the summertime. Why hire your new talent and bring him in when even if you do a big splash, fewer people will be listening. Better to wait until the old "fall book" time to hire.
2. Publicity. As long as there are rotating hosts "auditioning" for the show, they'll get mention on this board and elsewhere. Keeps the call letters in the public eye.
3. Money. While it's not a great deal of $$$, you have to figure they're saving money by not having a full-time person on staff (no benies to pay, fill-ins are not getting as much as a full-time person would, etc.) The longer the slot is open, the more money is saved.
