I haven't figured out how Mark Davis keeps getting the substitute host gigs, unless WBAP is just such an important station that they have some pull. Davis has been trying to get a national show going forever, and even got a weekend national show once, but he can't pull the ratings to take the next step.

Unfortunately, the only two people I know of that are intelligent enough to sit in for Rush are Mark Steyn and Thomas Sowell. While the content is good when they're on, I don't think either of them has the radio talent of Limbaugh.

John Young is 78? Damn, I’m old.

WBAP is large enough that it covers a LARGE portion of Texas—it is VERY popular with truckers and quite comforting to someone traveling long distances across the state!

Mark Davis DID have a 1 hour national show last year, with a local hour long show just prior, don’t listen to him much anymore so not sure what happened with the nat’l show...I like him about 75% of the time, but it really bugs me when he gets furious and I mean RED FACED APOPLECTIC YELLING at callers. My respect for him went down several notches several years ago when he advocated the murder of Terri Schiavo. :*(
