Now that Steve Harvey has signed this HUGE deal with Clear Channel, does this mean he'll be moved to Power 105? while it might make sense since he airs on most CC urban stations, it may not make sense to others given that a number of his affiliates are 'hip hop/rnb' focused stations. Hopefully WBLS keeps him where he belongs since I doubt highly The Breakfast Club will be budging anytime soon; wouldn't be worth it. Other markets have him on a competitor as opposed to a CC-owned urban: LA, San Francisco, Norfolk/Hampton Roads, Macon, Birmingham, Savannah, Memphis and Lexington (until last year). Even KHHT will never take Harvey (which airs on KJLH) due to demos, so that leaves Chicago's WVAZ as CCs only top 3 urban market to have him.
