So I imagine that will be the plan
iHeartMedia has announced an exclusive long-term agreement with award-winning multimedia personality Steve Harvey to renew and extend his relationship with the company. Under the new agreement, Harvey will continue his current role as host of The Steve Harvey Morning Show. Celebrating 12 years in syndication with Premiere Networks in 2017, the program reaches nearly 7 million weekly listeners on nearly 100 stations across the country and is available digitally on iHeartRadio.
Additionally, Harvey will work with iHeartMedia on a variety of projects, including development and creation of new programming and promotions, community and charitable initiatives, as well as multimedia projects and events. He will also continue to serve as a spokesperson for the company.
"Steve is a tremendous talent and has an incredible connection with audiences across multiple platforms, which make him a great asset for iHeartMedia," said Bob Pittman, Chairman and CEO of iHeartMedia. "We are excited to extend our partnership with Steve, continuing to deliver the most engaging content and top personalities to our listeners nationwide."
This is insane. I know that he benefits from being on TV on a regular basis. But come on, this is WAY TOO MUCH! I would assume he will still host American Top 40. If not, he may need to give that up, or On-Air in the future.

Well there has been a few that managed to do that well. I understand that Casey Kasem managed to do well on both TV and radio at one point though.
This is likely less work than doing Idol and the iHeart morning shows simultaneously. Idol was a long show, with elements of pre-production, too. The auditions for the main season meant travel to different cities and erratic production schedules in different time zones.

Apparently ABC/Disney is in talks with American Idol though and rumors for now over if Seacrest will be included or not. Note this is not final for now.
Think I can guess what the "A" stands for.
Big A is the new KL Richards around here. All list servers have know it all.
BigA is simply an industry expert. He has a huge array of facts at his beck and call.
Not another reboot!!! My wife and I used to watch until they started making changes to the judges and when they had four judges that was it, just got burned out on the whole scene and we are pretty much burned out on ALL reality competition shows- Top Chef, The Next Food Network Star, Dancing with the Stars, America's Got Talent, etc and on and on. The Dumbing Down of America has reaped handsome rewards for networks and advertisers alike, sorry for getting somewhat off topic. Just never understood the appeal of Ryan Seacrest, he was always at war with Simon Cowell and could never refrain from making snarky remarks to Simon. Mucho Morales used to tell me some interesting stories about Ryan's relationship with the late Merv Griffin. I am eternally grateful to Merv for Jeopardy!
These are NOT reality shows! If they were reality, the cameras would be on 24/7. You'd see the people farting, scratching their crotch when they wake up, snoring while sleeping, eating cornflakes in the morning while their bathrobes hang open, swearing when they drop the orange juice on the floor when they get it out of the fridge, cursing because the cat just hacked up a hairball on their new $1,000 couch. You'd see them yelling at the kids for not doing the dishes, picking up their toys. You'd see them screaming because the dog just scooted his behind across the freshly cleaned white carpet. You'd hear them yelling because the car engine just exploded and the tow company wants $250 to yank it to the garage. You wouldn't see these manufactured "crisis" stories that pop up. You wouldn't see them "winning" an all expenses paid trip to East Flabonia. You wouldn't see these staged "confrontations" with neighbors, co-workers, bosses, etc. You wouldn't see them getting life threatening injuries because they were bitten by a Bengal tiger that just "happened" to have fallen out the back of a zoo transport van when the closest zoo is 700 miles away. No folks, it's not reality....quit watching this CRAP and tell the TV suits to knock it off.
Yeah just like the other dude.
Most articles in a newspaper aren't written the day they are published. News shows, like All Things Considered, are recorded throughout the day and are seldom recorded live.
The Seacrest situation be easily managed. Keep in mind, he will most likely have to prep for "Live!" before or after the show on a daily basis as well. Most regular radio listeners (not radio nerds like us) won't be able to tell the difference.
