Boston Herald Inside Track mentions that WTKK in Boston will be among the affiliates for Severin's new show, Jay Severin Has Issues. He had been there
for several years but was benched in Sept. after he made an agreement with
Infinity for the new show (WTKK is Greater Media). Speculation was that
Infinity's WBZ would carry the new show but G.M. had negotiating rights till
the end of the year, and an agreement was reached.<P ID="signature">______________

Article says he'll "bump Laura Ingraham to 10pm" (ugh) and Michael Graham "will continue to do afternoon drive". Pardon any oversight here, but wouldn't that leave the #2 talk host in America without a clearance in market #11?

So, it would appear that:
a) Hannity is banished from Boston
b) WTKK ISN'T keeping Michael Graham, or they're moving him
c) Hannity is moving to a new 50kW CC right wing talker
d) Hannity moves to overnights on WTKK

I don't seem to think "a" is going to happen. "D" either. Am I mistaken?

I could see Hannity moving to WRKO, former home...maybe Taste of Boston tonight could move to weekends only.

b) I think WTKK signed Graham for a couple years...I had suggested they could
run Hannity live 3-5 pm then do 2 hours of Graham till 7; kind of shortchanging a local host, though.

c) as in WKOX and WXKS, currently Air America? Who knows. Ratings haven't
matched the conservatalkers though signals at night aren't much. There have been
rumors of those two stations dumping AAR and picking up Glenn Beck, George
Noory, and Rush (currently the latter 2 are on WRKO)...but some feel it won't
happen. WRKO has stronger signal.

d) who knows? doubt it but anything can happen. I'd think WRKO may consider
trying to pick up Hannity. I think they're the "affiliate" for ABC Radio
shows (they had Hannity before; had Batchelor but dropped him later)
