Overnight talk shows are changing in Baltimore. 680 WCBM gave up "Coast to Coast AM with George Noory" to begin running "The Other Side of Midnight with Frank Morano" from WABC New York. WABC is syndicating a number of its local shows, making them national. Not just Morano but also Rita Cosby in the evening and WABC owner John Catsimatidis' one hour show at 5pm as well as his Sunday morning show.
With it no longer carried by WCBM, 1090 WBAL is picking up Coast to Coast AM. WBAL had been running repeats of its weekday shows in that overnight time slot. That also gives Washington an almost-local station to hear Coast to Coast AM. WBAL's 50,000 watt signal covers most of Market #7 (D.C.) as well as #22 (Baltimore). Neither of Washington's two talk stations is owned by iHeart. So Cumulus-owned WMAL-FM runs "Red Eye Radio" and Salem-owned WWRC reruns daytime shows from the Salem Radio Network.
