Well, the show is on 10 pm till 1 am until the end of
this week. Next week, Colmes takes over that slot
with VB premiering his new 1-4 am shift a week from
Monday.

He does take callers on many subjects but there are
also times when he just reads offbeat news items, etc.
Maybe he can do a pre-recorded hour (with "Pit
News") which would air at 3 am, and do the rest of the
show live. Maybe.

VB's first hour tends to be politically oriented,
and he would have Colmes as a lead in, so...

Well, look out Steve Leveille--instead of having
"live and local" competition for one hour per night
(12-1 am) he will now be facing live and local
competition for 3 hours a night.

And to think there was a time when 'RKO's local
programming ended at 10 pm, with the next local
content showing up at 5:30 am. Now, they have 
local stuff in the wee wee hours...
