Who's getting the boot where?

A lot of changes this week, most of them for Dennis Miller. But as there are only so many hours in a day :eek:, who are the casualities?

LA: Miller replacing ?? on KRLA
Chicago: Miller replacing ?? on WIND
SF: Miller replacing Ingraham on KNEW, O'Reilly allegedly out to move Humphries to live and Larson up
Dallas: Miller replacing ?? on KSKY
Houston: Miller replacing ?? on KTRH, or will C2C get pushed back 2 hours to live?
Philly: Miller replacing Savage on WNTP
Detroit: Miller replacing ?? on WDTK
Seattle: Miller replacing Jerry Doyle on KKOL; will Doyle or anyone else wind up at KTTH to displace one of Lars Larson's 38 hours a week?
Minneapolis: Miller replacing ?? on KYCR
Denver: Miller replacing ?? on KNUS
Akron: Humphries replacing Ingraham on WHLO, WHBC to flip, displacing local staff? and picking up some syndie

Anyone else? This, of course, in addition to Mancow's getting bounced out of yet another station, and all the programming changes in liberal talk (seems Mike Malloy is picking up some steam).
 
It seems Mark Masters took the biggest beating this week. Will Westwood One be able to leverage more stations for Lars Larsen and Bill O'Reilly since it looks like Dennis Miller will at least be an intial success?
 
Yes, The High School Dropout isn't having a good week, losing some key markets for Ingraham and Mancow. Ingraham will probably rebound, and when Dennis Miller goes away in 6 mos, 1 year, or some other time, things will readjust. What astounds me is the number of decent stations who take brand new shows with no national (or, in this case, radio) track record, only to end up with the show cancelled and having the redo their lineup. That's the kind of thing you'd expect on a Class C Air America affiliate, not a decent talker. Not that, save KNUS, many of Miller's Salem stations are decent.
 
As far as Salem stations are concerned:

In Los Angeles, Michael Savage from 6 to 9 PM. Savage will be bumped to 9 PM to Midnight. I believe KRLA ran some half hour shows in that time slot.

In Chicago, Dennis Prager who I suspect will move to evenings.

In Dallas, an 8-11 PM rerun of Laura Ingraham.

In Philadelphia and Detroit, Michael Savage again.
 
After a failed TV talk show and equally unsuccessful attempt to be a color commentator on Monday Night Football, Dennis Miller, will try to resurrect his faltering career, once again, on Monday with a syndicated talk radio show that will reportedly debut on 80 stations.

I say "reportedly," because Westwood One, which is syndicating Miller’s talk show, has only identified 11 of the stations that will be carrying the show.
