WTKK: Levin short stay/battle of talk hosts

raccoonradio

It was announced the other day that WTKK would start running the Mark Levin
show from WABC on Monday. Then, during that show, Levin said "it was just for
a couple days". During tonight's show, Levin bid WTKK farewell but said he'd
still be on WABC plus WBAP in Dallas. Wha'? That was a short stay.

Well according to the WTKK site, this week that 6-7 pm hour would have Mark
Levin on Monday and Tue., Monica Crowley (also from WABC?) on Wed. and
Thu., and Eagan and Braude on Friday. Furthermore it said that during the
10 pm - 1 am slot it would be Hannity on Mon and Tue. but on Wed.-Fri.
it will be Michael Graham...author, one-time comedian, etc.

What in the wide wide world of sports is'a goin' on here, to quote a line
from Blazing Saddles. Are they trying out Graham for that 10 pm-1 am slot,
and thus Hannity will air live 3-6 pm ONLY...will Severin be back...? Ever?

Meanwhile WTKK ran a promo for a kind of "battle of the talk show hosts"
event. Similar to what KIRO in Seattle did--a broadcast before a live
audience with their various talk hosts discussing the issues of the day.
Of course with WTKK running some syndie hosts, that means some of the syndie
hosts would be flying in for this event. "Stay tuned for more details"...
but it named Barnicle, O'Reilly, Ingraham, and Hannity and I think Eagan
and Braude, too.

One name conspicuously absent. Well, maybe they're still negotiating with the Sage of Sag Harbor, or maybe talks have broken down and he's being sat down till
the end of his contract?
Who knows.
 
Big Fish Syndrome...

me-thinks this a low-key audition for PM drive. PD's who are not so good look for big names to bring in. Then when they fail people can say oooh, who would have known Monica Crowley/Mark Levin couldn't do the job? Can't blame Paula for that one! And Michael Graham, why he was fired in Washington for saying nasty things about arabs for cripes sake, woulda thunk he'd do great here!
