Whats the chances of Burbank's slot being non-syndicated?

More than likely Burbank's slot will remain local....WLW is all local excepty for syndicated shows that they originate. Aside from that, the spot load is too big for a syndicated show. I remember several years ago when Burbank was thinking of retiring there was speculation about Eddie Fingers moving over from WEBN.
Maybe I'm naive, but I"m just figuring Cunningham will take over the Burbank slot.
Scott Sloan could take over midday, and nights could be Sterling. Just move everyone up a spot.
Now I am not willing to put the Sloan and Sterling predictions in ink, but I'd bet cash money that Bill Cunningham is the next afternoon drive host on WLW.

that would be interesting, as then you'd have willey and furball going head-to-head for a chunk of time. but doesn't sterling already have a gig in cols.?

Furman was fired several months ago for alleged racist comments during an on air inteview.
Yes, and now Furman is on afternoon drive on another station in Cincinnati. Meaning he would go against Willie if WLW tapped him as Burbank's replacement.
I believe that is what my Kermit-cuddling friend was saying.
I can't think of a reason why but I can never listen to Sterling for very long. I can't articulate why he doesn't hold my interest, but he just doesn't. That's why if I'm wrong with my prediction, I won't be too exorcised over it.
jack, that's precisely what i was saying. two guys who are still pals going after the drive home slot. but competition is exactly what this market so desperately needs! it's no fun when one kid has all the toys.
i like sterling. i like his style, his humor and his unusual conversational approach. i could see him taking on the mid-day spot at WLW, but what if... WLW follows the example of my former station of choice, WLS, and puts Rush on, and gives KRC sterling or some other second-tier talent? the idea of going from mcconnel to rush to willey gives me goose bumps. and i know, i know - WLW is historically all local programming, a la my former second choice, WGN, but the winds of change are a'blow'n around here and who knows what could happen with DP likely trying to save his job!

Cunningham makes sense on one point, but not on another....
Supposedly, Darryl Parks was saying the station wanted the afternoon post to be "entertainment", not
"news/talk" programming. Willie's show, like it or not, is conservative talk radio, not an entertainment-style show. And, that would seem to eliminate the suggestion of a McConnell/Rush/Willie lineup

Maybe Darryl is beginning to get it. Endless conservative talk and tier two sports guys are not "Entertaining".
Willie is entertaining until he starts wrapping himself in the flag. If he would begin listening to an opposing point of view and use his show to inform rather than to spout jingoism, then I would be a listener.
