Not a bad idea, though McDouugh is on in afternoon drive.  I like the current 
midday show out of Chicago, but will not miss Nasty Nester Aparico, the 
afternoon show that is being displaced by McDonough.  I would be surprised if 
the affiliates carrying McDonough are not still clearing network inventory 
during his show.

By the way: On October 1st, Jim Rome's show moved from the Big Jab to WZAN, 
as was announced a few weeks ago.
