John Batchelor back in Syndication – WABC has officially announced that John Batchelor’s show (9PM-1AM on Saturday and Sunday) will become available for national syndication. For those who listen, the show has been on KNSS for about a month on Saturday (Citadel doesn’t own KNSS – it’s an Entercom station in Wichita, Kansas)

Hmm… it ought to be interesting to see how much traction it gets. Bill Cunningham still has most of Drudge’s old affiliates, and I’m sure that there are quite a few stations that would prefer something a little more news-oriented in that time slot.
There is an important subtlety about this announcement – the syndication is by “WABC Radio Syndication”, not “Citadel Media” or “ABC Radio”. This spinoff of syndication was telegraphed about a year ago when Tom Taylor disclosed it before the corporate HQ for Citadel was ready (or possibly didn’t even know). This may well be related to whatever the plan is to restructure Citadel in January due to its crushing debt problem
I also notice, at least according to Wikipedia, WTKK/Boston is also carrying the Saturday show now.
That must be within the last month – on 10/17, Monica Crowley was still on the station on Saturday night, unless some tester couldn’t tell the difference :)
Good. I figure WBT Charlotte will pick this up, since they used to carry Batchelor & Alexander. This will be a huge improvement over Allen Hunt.
Maybe, maybe not. WBT is no longer owned by Jefferson Pilot – it was sold to Greater Media of Boston. CBS flipped a station there from sports to Conservative talk about a month ago, so there might be a competition :)… but my guess is WBT probably has an edge….
