Talk Shuffle

[Bill O'Neill]

I may be a day late, but I noticed this afternoon that Sean Hannity is 
now heard in the Burlington/Plattsburgh market on The Zone (96.7//960). 
The station has moved Don (they've got that medium market sound down 
real well) & Mike Show to delayed to eves.  WVMT (620 Burlington) had 
bounced Hannity and brought back Howie Carr to the 3-6 pm slot.

Listening to WVMT's morning show ("Charlie & Ernie ") they were talking 
up some negative reax from listeners on the change and were asking them 
to "Give Howie a chance, it is what it is" etc.  The end result, IMO, is 
a win for The Zone. Don & Mike can't get any worse.  Hannity goes well 
with the perennially understated conservative demo in Vermont and 
upstate NY. And it looks like the sports team broadcasts that fill up 
many eves at the Zone can't be hurt by delayed Don & Mike.
