Am I wrong on this (hold on a minute, Dr. Akbar), or are Liddy and Hill going away from what really makes their show work?

If they're on local, they have plenty of material in town to chew on. They go naitonal, they're just blending in with all the other conservative hosts out there.

I suppose there will always be some sort of demand for syndicated programming, so they don't face the prospect of cancellation, but it seemed to me that they had a niche here.

I'm not saying they shouldn't do it, it just seems risky.

I don't think KFYI loses a thing here. They're doing something no one else in the market is doing in afternoon drive, so as long as the host is qualified (and Crummey is...I told you to wait, Dr. Akbar) KFYI will be just fine.

Pretty shocking...KFYI can fill their afternoon drive slot in a heartbeat, while KTAR still can't find a 12:30-4:00 host.

Okay, Doc...you're up....

What does Giddy and Hillbilly have to offer nationally? PC Fridays? That's really the only schtick they had.

How will they intro them?

And now, the son of Watergate felon and tax evader G Gordon Liddy and his trusty bench warming yes man...The Airhead Assault featuring T Thomas Liddy and Austin Hill. Please don't change the station!.

Cantillo really lucked out on this one. Crummey will fill the tiny void quite nicely.

I believe KFNX has an occassional open hour between the Sri Lankan Gardening Review and a colon cleansing show.

Otherwise, doubt it.

BIG mistake for Liddy & Hill as well as KFYI to a lesser degree. Their show and humor was based primarily on local and state events. It will be hard for L&H to make the transition to national, but their egos are working overtime these days. Joe Crummey is much too good for 7-10pm, but doesn't have the uniqueness needed in PMD to make the difference between KFYI and KT'R as noticeable as L&H did. Nurse Jeff and I will miss the smart asses that made dumb asses out of the station on Central!
