Michael “Savage” Weiner has made the official announcement. Starting in January 2014, Cumulus Media will be moving his show to 3 PM Eastern Time.<\/p>\n
While this means that Savage will move to 3 PM on the stations owned by Cumulus (WABC, WLS, WBAL, WMAL, KSFO), Clear Channel and Premiere will continue to produce the Sean Hannity Show and syndicate it via Premiere. It’s a pretty safe bet Clear Channel’s owned and operated stations will stay with Hannity.<\/p>\n
Who carries Hannity currently? Keeping in mind that my database only lists stations that stream, and ignoring simulcast stations, there are 216 stations that carry Hannity during the week<\/p>\n
+--------+------------------------+\r\n| count | parentname |\r\n+--------+------------------------+\r\n| 66 | Clear Channel |\r\n| 60 | Independents |\r\n| 40 | Cumulus |\r\n| 10 | Townsquare Media |\r\n| 5 | Midwest |\r\n| 5 | Entercom |\r\n| 5 | Cox Radio |\r\n| 3 | Zimmer Radio |\r\n| 3 | River Radio |\r\n| 3 | CBS |\r\n| 2 | NRG |\r\n| 2 | NextMedia |\r\n| 2 | Eagle Communications |\r\n| 1 | Bonneville |\r\n| 1 | Alt\/Confer Trusts |\r\n| 1 | Journal Broadcasting |\r\n| 1 | Emmis |\r\n| 1 | FTG Group |\r\n| 1 | Neuhoff |\r\n| 1 | BiCoastal |\r\n| 1 | Curtis Communications |\r\n| 1 | Cherry Creek |\r\n| 1 | Mortenson Broadcasting |\r\n+--------+------------------------+<\/pre>\nSo what happens to the stations that currently carry Savage Live from 9pm-mid ET? The big winner here is probably John Batchelor who will get his full 4 hour show back on the former ABC Radio network stations.<\/p>\n
Who carries Savage now at 9 PM?<\/p>\n
