My guess is that after the war ends (if it does take
place, may it be short and effective), they'll
find a way to dump Colmes and put VB back at 10 pm
(maybe can tape delay Colmes to run _after_ VB?_)

I don't know what kind of ratings VB was pulling down,
but he brings local content and what sounds like a
fairly young demographic (judging from
the callers, subject matter, etc.)
