Within the past two weeks, WSBA (910 York PA, and yes it's a 5,000-watter)
yanked Clark Howard from its 3-5 slot and plugged Hannity in 3-6 (he had
been 6-9), killing their local news and info hour at 5 in the process.
(Howard's now in Hannity's old slot.) I wonder if Premiere does any
arm-twisting when Rush affiliate contracts come up for renewal (aren't they
syndicating Hannity, not ABC?).
