Merlin Flips WKDN To All-Hannity 106.9

[Tommy Roberts Jr]

It looks like RANDY MICHAELS and MERLIN MEDIA are about to make their presence known in PHILADELPHIA. After acquiring Religious WKDN/CAMDEN, NJ last DECEMBER (NET NEWS, 12/7), WKDN -- whose signal reaches into PHILADELPHIA -- has just transformed into all-SEAN HANNITY Radio.

In another classic, if pithy, press release, in the form of a personal letter from the conservative Talk personality, he allegedly writes:

"After a year away, I’m back on PHILADELPHIA radio -- and you don’t have to wait to hear me. The SEAN HANNITY Show returns 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It’s all-SEAN HANNITY, all the time on PHILADELPHIA’s newest radio station, HANNITY 106.9 FM. Set a button for non-stop me on the station all about me ... There are lots of big plans for HANNITY 106.9 FM, including some involving you. We’ll figure it out together, so I’m in no rush to say more at this time."

WKDN is now WWIQ

The Hannity1069 format is a stunt till the regular Talk Format starts on WWIQ 1069 and when Rush Limbaugh exits 1210 WPHT he will move to 106.9.

So what you're saying is the radio station went from heaven straight to hell! Interesting.

What is so sad, it's the fact that when you listen to all of these conservative talk shows, ALL the hosts have the same positions, some comments, it as though they are ALL reading from the same playbook, no individuality, no creativity....NOTHING!!! If the owner really was interested in having a true discourse on socio economic problems, he would have a mixture of conservative and liberal shows on the station, for the listening public to get ALL sides, a truly democratic station.Plus this would attract listeners from both sides and help with ratings. So all you will hear, 24/7 is "HE'S A COMMIE, A SOCIALIST, UN-PATRIOTIC, UN-AMERICAN, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, you heard one you've heard them all.
