Their studios will be on the fourth floor of the Penn Treaty Park Building on Delaware Ave. WURD 900, WEMG 1310 and WWSI channel 62 TV are already there.
 
Rush is gonna CRUSH Smerconish!!! I used to like Michael when he was at DB but no longer, he's moved to the left and supports Obama. WPHT is in huge trouble, if 106.9 goes talkradio PHT better start planning a new format!!
 
Yeah, the cranky old dudes in the "one foot in the casket" demo won't take to anyone but Limbaugh at this point.

But that battle aside for a moment, what is 1210's strategy--assuming at this time that talk remains the format--moving forward? Six hours of local cranky guys followed by someone who dares suggest there's a middle road? It's a jarring transition...and then what? The emphasis is, understandably, on the change in the 12-3 slot, but what replaces Smirconish now at 3 (or 4 if he still does a local hour for 1210)? Move one of the nighttime crew into afternoon drive? Go out and find someone new? Put Huckabee on delay?

And then there's 990...which goes from being an irrelevant second-place also ran to an even more irrelevant third-place also ran. :)

You never heard Rush do that the first time. What you heard was everybody else say what Rush said.

In Philly, the headline should say, "Rush returns to FM", since he on WWDB 96.5 before he was on WPHT.

Speaking of WPHT, I never felt comfortable with them as a talk station to begin with. From the time they dropped the News as WCAU, I didn't think they were settled. I'm somewhat surprised they stayed with the current format for as long as they have.

No, probably not.

The WCAU franchise, though, has been tarnished over the years. From Channel 10 which is now NBC. to 98.1, and then 1210. It hasn't been one of the more stable ones for CBS.
