Savage Set For His Radio Return - He Will Own The Nights!

Well, Cumulus is not providing Savage with their best stations. They're putting savage on low rated talker KLIF in Dallas (where he was all along with TRN!!) ... Not on their top rated WBAP. And so far there is no WABC or KABC for Savage.

Will see when Savage will find a lawyer to sue Cumulus.
 
Does it make any sense for him not to be on WABC in NY?? How do you roll out this show without a NY affiliate? And if not WABC why not? Batchelor??
 
There could be contractual obligations in place with Batchelor. Nobody knew until a few weeks ago that Savage was suddenly going to be out of his TRN contract.

9-midnight is a much less listened to shift than 6-9pm. At 6, there are still lots of people in their cars commuting home. By 9, they're home and doing other things than listening to the radio.

True Savage says he hates lawyers but he sued twice. One for the UK Incident and another attorney for the TRN inc incident.
 
I don't know how he fits on WABC. Doesn't Cumulus own both Mark Levin's show, heard 6-9pm, and John Batchelor's show, heard 9pm-1am? Unless WABC subtacts an hour from both Levin and Batchelor, putting Savage 8-10pm. Of course, that would mean he's not live for his second hour.

Or maybe both WABC and WOR's schedules will eventually be re-arranged, now that WOR is owned by Clear Channel. Currently Rush, a Premiere/Clear Channel show, is airing on WABC and Huckabee, a Cumulus show, is airing on WOR. Will both stations eventually change their schedules so that they're not trading shows they own?

What?? Savage show starts at 9 ET so how would that be possible?
 
How does Savage go from saying he would compete with Rush from 12-3 or Hannity at 3-6 to settling for a 9-12 slot.

This is a major step backward from having an NYC show from 6-8.
