I listen to Chris Plante in the mornings, and Levin at night or in podcast.
looks like talk radio is dying after Rush.
Fortunately I have another Rush radio station to choose from: WHYN 560, which is an iHeart Media station. They are running the EIB Travis & Sexton show.
Did Cluck just say several people died and were injured in Ft Lauderdale??? It was one dead one injured, Cluck.
Neither Travis or Sexton were among my replace preferences but I will certainly give them a listen for awhile. They have to settle in and get comfortable with their new job and that takes time. We shall see.
Travis and Sexton have finished introducing themselves to the listeners. They’re now discussing the recent death threats hurled at FL Gov. DeSantis.
Apparently you don't understand what is going on. They "talked about themselves" to introduce themselves to members of the audience who may not be familiar with them. You really should give them a chance and no talk radio is NOT dying, you just refuse to change your ways and try new things.
Talk radio isn’t dying, but most hosts never “make it”.
Consider the left’s attempts for years to create a Leftist Rush Limbaugh program.
and I don’t recall many “co-host” programs in syndication and most that are focus on comedy.
You'd be better off listening to someone else, apparently you don't understand what's going on. The guy's name is Clay, stop being ignorant.
I can’t listen. There IS no replacement, so I’ll just either listen to the Rush Reruns or read the Limbaugh Letter.
I gave it a shot, I’ll be switching over to Dennis Prager at the top of the hour
I don’t think I heard Steyn on Rush’s show once after Rush died. I thought Steyn would have been a good replacement for Rush or at least a good stand-in. I’m not sure at all how the decisions are made about who does what.
I could call him Cuck, is that better?
They are so bad, it gave me Coronavirus...
What I read is his syndicator is moving
Jesse Kelly into that slot—starting a week from today
It’s an insult to Rush that they are appropriating The Pretenders’ theme music.

Excerpt from the above
Limbaugh himself resisted naming a successor, leaving the field wide open for each ownership/syndication group to try its own offering. That means a patchwork of affiliates around the region (and around the country) for each of the new players. On iHeart’s own stations and its Premiere Radio Networks, the former Rush slot relaunches today with a new “inspired by Rush” show hosted by Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. That list of markets includes New York (WOR), Boston (WXKS AM), Albany (WGY), Syracuse (WSYR), Rochester (WHAM), Providence (WHJJ), and Harrisburg (WHP), but it’s missing some other big ones, including Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Hartford and Buffalo.
Those last three markets all had Audacy-owned stations carrying Limbaugh, and we now have the answer to a big question about one of them. In CONNECTICUT, until late last week, Audacy’s WTIC (1080 Hartford) had yet to say who would get the noon slot to replace the Rush best-ofs that had been running there. Like WBEN in Buffalo, WTIC is going local in middays. It’s hired Tom Shattuck to do a new 10 AM to 2 PM shift, which will slot in between an extra hour of Brian Shactman’s morning show and an extra hour of Todd Feinburg’s afternoon show. Shattuck comes on board in Hartford after a long Boston media career that’s included programming the online Boston Herald Radio, producing at WRKO and the old WTKK-FM, and most recently as senior editor of the Lowell Sun.
(And what about the biggest ex-Rush market that’s still without a named replacement? That’s Philadelphia, where the schedule of Audacy’s WPHT 1210 still lists Rush as the noon host – but it’s looking as though there will be a local replacement there, too, soon.)
*We have some answers about a few other markets, too:
Meh. I did click it on for a teensy moment out of curiosity. LOL!He [and I have no clue who was talking] sounds just like all the rest of them. There are no distinguishing traits of these guys to set them apart. I won’t be listening.
Does Mark Steyn have a radio show? Him...I’d listen to.
Rather rude of you, assuming you know me and are qualified to ship unfounded insults. I picked up Chris Plante about a year ago - something new. He weaves things about himself into the show. Doesn't make it the focus. As did Rush.
they talked alot but didn’t seem to come up for air or say much.
Yes—what happened with WTIC is I believe
it was owned by CBS Radio.In 2017 CBS radio stations were bought out by what was
then called Entercom—now Audacy.
In Boston Entercom owned too many
stations so had to sell or trade some
away.WRKO 680 went to iHeart. The independent Howie Carr Radio Network
produces Grace Curley at noon and Howie
at 3. Their sister station WXKS 1200
runs national hosts so Clay and Buck
are on there.
