WGN Radio's new schedule

As I am sure a lot of you know that WGN Radio has changed their schedule or tinkered it a bit, so now again is gone Kathy & Judy, they did their final Saturday show this past Saturday, so what will be WGN Radio's Saturday schedule be like on Saturday, which hopefully we will see tomorrow. Will John Williams slide into the Noon to 12:00 PM slot that was previously hosted by Kathy and Judy? And they will have various hosts take over John Williams' old slot which was 1:00-3:00. And that will go on until the Saturday after March 13 when the new schedule that will now have John Williams in the 1:00-3:00 slot that is currently held by the team of Bill Leff and Wendy Synder. While they will still do 10:00-Noon and then a bonus hour from 12:00-1:00 PM on WGN Plus that you can find on http://www.wgnplus.com . And with that does Bill & Wendy have to move their show to Studio B from the Showcase Studio, and they don't have to leave a room to move into another studio for that bonus hour, where if they stay broadcasting from the Showcase Studio they will have to leave at Noon go upstairs for the bonus hour, and not return to the Showcase Studio until their next broadcast day? Where currently they do 10:00-Noon and 1:00-3:00 PM. The Sunday schedule whether you are a fan of the shows on Sunday or not, will stay the same so you can still wake up say at 7 AM and listen to Rick Pearson's politics talk show, if you are a fan of his show. And then have Dean Richards for 4 hours after that. But in March two new shows The Innovation Hour, and On the Road with Dane Neal, I don't know if the plan is if he will be hosting both shows or who will be hosting the hour show starring at one, with Dane Neal's show will be 2 hours, pushing the Saturday version of the Beat back an hour, and instead of 4 hours will instead air for 3 hours. But will will happen is that whether you like him or not John Williams and his wife will be moving back to Chicago which will also see him leaving WCCO. In the past John Williams mainly hosted his 2 hour Saturday show from his home in Minnesota, where sometimes in the summer months, if he was in Chicago area for any reason expect for the shows that he did with Clay S Jekinson in which the latter name would play either Theodore Roosevelt or Thomas Jefferson, which he would get his show off that day, but then that that he would broadcast his Saturday afternoon show from the Allstate Showcase Studio.
 
So John Williams will be sliding into his new Saturday morning show starting this morning, and WGN Radio annouced viva their page that Andrea Daralas and Esmeralda Leon will be in today from 1:00 to 3:00 so for the next few weeks it will be interesting to see what host(s) WGN Radio will select for the next few weeks until March 18th which will be a little over a month from now, at that time the two new shows will make their debuts on the Saturday schedule.
