The only daytime syndicated programming on WHAS is Limbaugh. 

Wayne Perkey (yes, it's his real name) does morning drive from 5 to 9AM.  9
to Noon is Jane Norris with talk.  Noon to 3, Rush.  3 to 7PM is a
wonderfully talented guy by the name of Terry Meiners who does bits, skits
and a whole lot more.  Tony Cruise has the 7 to 9 Sportstalk segment with Joe
Elliott doing an admirable job talking between 9 and midnight.  Overnights
are still wonderful with Joe Donovan and his thousands of oldies.  The show
should be syndicated!

WHAS really started phasing music out of the daylight dayparts a number of
years ago with their morning drive program.  Next to go were afternoons.
 Then, I went from all music to talk in 1992 during the noon to 3 block.
 Next to go was 9 to noon in 1994.  

Clear Channel Communications has 7 (Rick Belcher-P.D. of WHAS...correct me if
I'm wrong) stations and WWKY picks up a lot of the syndicated talk programing
including Dr. Laura, et al.
