RadioInfo.com is reporting today (10/17) that Michael Savage has signed on with Cumulus Media Networks. His program starts next Monday (10/23) and airs live from 6p to 9p PT. KABC currently airs syndicated Mark Levin in that slot on a 3-hour tape delay. I would like to see KABC pick up Savage live and bump Levin to overnights from 2a to 5a replacing the repeat airing of Red Eye Radio that currently occupies that spot.

If I'm Cumulus, I want him live. And KABC could get afternoon drive advertising rates for the first hour of his show. It also gives them something more outrageous than John & Ken in the 6-7 PM hour.
Re: "RIP KABC" -- KABC, as I have written before, is like a dead man walking. If it is true that the morning drive show leads a station - in this case the "Doug & Mumbles & Totally Bizarre Fifth Wheel Morning Mess" - then we can well know that the "rest in peace" that the "legendary" KABC deserves for services well rendered for decades, but long since past, are too late. The funeral was long ago.
And I apologize to Peter Tilden. I thought his morning disorganized mess was bad. Very bad. But then he was replaced by the just chalk-on-blackboard "Morning Mess with Bundled Commercials" and no calls, no information, daily sexual digs at people, what some consider racist comments, selective (they like Romney) polls by the "Poll Dancer" John "Insults Nonstop" Phillips, clustered commercials of 6-8 minutes at a crack often, news (?) delivered by Ms. T-Rae Mumbles, screaming unintelligible rants by Doug (big mistake to take him off Red Eye -- yes, I really need to know about truck oil, truck stops, etc. here in the heart of Los Angeles from two not very intelligent talkers from Dallas, and, besides that, Doug had a GREAT show with Red Eye (you would think that he was two people with the disparity in quality being so great), etc.
So, Peter, if this gets to you somehow, I am sorry. You should be off nights -- and back on the morning show. Put Savage on delayed in that 9-midnight slot. Send the current Morning Mess packing and see if KABC can maintain the paltry #33 rating from which it cannot improve without lots of LIVE, LOCAL, ENGAGED, LA-centric people. And that doesn't mean Geraldo who has not lived here for over 20 years. Get that? A local program for KABC from New York.
How bad is KABC? We assume their promos theoretically reflect the best of their shows. Makes sense. Listen, if you dare, to the Morning Mess promos produced and played throughout other dayparts. From these absolutely bizarre promos (supposedly to highlight a show) you can gauge yourself very easily just how KABC's Titanic has hit the iceberg and is pretty much sunk.
KABC, as I have written before, was "legendary" as their promos state. Key word: was. It is over. Thoughts?

...Doug McIntyre just posted on my Facebook page that The Savage Wiener is NOT going to air on KABC and is unlikely to be added to WABC, either...
