Syndie (nightly) John Batchelor...would WRKO take him? TKK?

As you may be hearing, WABC did not renew Curtis Sliwa's contract; Sliwa's syndie show (incl. WTKK)
will continue but WABC is replacing him with John Batchelor who I guess will soon be syndie by Citadel
(don't know if Citadel is the one syndicating Sliwa). What I'm wondering is would WTKK stay with Sliwa
(prob.) and would Batchelor's show (which focuses more on global issues) be picked up by WRKO, perhaps?

Note that WRKO used to carry "Batchelor and (Paul) Alexander" at 10 pm years ago. For now RKO has Jerry
Doyle on a 7 hour delay but I wonder if TRN is forcing them to carry it so that they can have Savage
and Ingraham...

Of course right now WTKK has the syndie WEEKEND shows of Batchelor but would Citadel break that
deal to give him to RKO full time?
 
@bostonradio tweets that WTKK would wind up carrying Batchelor, not Sliwa (Sliwa syndie by someone other than Citadel?)--the WABC and presumably WTKK change is on Monday.
 
Good! Slee-wah's heavy accent is grating on the ears. Batchelor could use an energy drink at times.
