Oddsmakers:Who walks the plank at Plum Street on Friday?

To celebrate the one month anniversary of the January 20 massacre,apparently the kind folks at Clear Channel have another,smaller massacre planned for this Friday.Vegas just put out the odds on various individuals getting 're-engineered" on Friday:
A)89% chance-Traffic Department- no individuals here but the ENTIRE DEPARTMENT save for one poor soul left to clean up the mess.The clients and salespeople will love the fact that traffic will now be done from hundreds of miles away.
B)Joel-52% chance.Vegas says 100% chance that he doesn't make it thru 2009 but better than even money that he "retires" on Friday.The younger,smarter, woman from Rochester will now be in charge.
C)Tom and Becky from B104-47% chance.Not quite even money but CC is determined to syndicate shows like Tim and Willie.Besides,where else will the country fans go?
D)Joe Galuski/Jim Reith.Odds are 85% that one local show will not survive.Hannity is a proven rating getter that is being buried.Hannity to PM drive odds are 90%.So does Reith get shot or do they stick him in mornings?
E)Marty and whoever on Hot-25%.Again syndication is the CC watchword and Hot is a mediocre biller.If they have a CHR show(Seacrest?),they will pull the plug.
F)The Kathy Rowe Show-40% but 80% that a cast member disappears.
Place your bets and pull up a seat. Vegas will be watching on Friday.
 
Billing department might get "hit" too. Traffic done out of town will be a nightmare, especially when there are so many local "deals" made for certain clients. I would think that low rated spots and no charges will be bumped for national spots when inventory is sold out. No more begging a sales manager to "keep a cheap commercial on the log, or my client will kill me" scenario
 
And I'm sure that Rome will make a post declaring that it is all somehow 95X's fault.
