Why do you say this? Hannity is annoying but nowhere near as offensive and whacked-out and ugly as Savage. I doubt many afternoon drive listeners would hold still for him.
Hiring a local talent is expensive. They’d rather pay for someone syndicated.
I’m confused by your question. Hannity is definitely leaving WMAL, on or about 1 Jan 2014. If he is not there I won’t be able to listen to him and refuse to listen to an “offensive and whacked-out and ugly as Savage.”
As to my current switching between Hannity and Medved, is because Hannity gets too repetitious in his comments and his, to me annoying habit of talking over the guests he has on, especially if he disagrees with them. I also listen to WTNT talk radio, but that is changing to Spanish Music on Monday, thus no more political talk there.
