WGY is a great local station with a great lineup of talkers. I’m not a fan of Hannity so I wish they would replace him with Medved or Al Roney. Al Roney is now on AM 1300 from 3-6. AM 1300 is a good local station but it’s signal sounds like it’s powered by a guy on a bicycle.
They pretty much have to carry him and would prefer him live. They are owned by Clear Channel I believe and some markets like New Orleans and Boston have “Rush Radio” in which they may have a local morning host (in Boston, Jeff Katz) then Beck, Rush, Hannity, maybe Levin, Jason Lewis, etc. Clear Channel’s syndication arm does Rush, Hannity, Lewis, Beck
so they want them on.
(In Boston they run Levin tape delayed 9-mid and just started re-running an hour of Rush at 6 “for people who couldn’t hear him at work”)
Before 590 WROW went to oldies, I used to listen to John Gibson on the ride home, Savage can be a little much sometimes. John had a good show; it seemed most of his callers were Dems & Obamabots...He had some really good debates with the libs.
