WWZN 1510 to run prog talk 6 am to 6 pm

[Dan.Strassberg]

The lineup is 6-10A: Santos, 10A-noon: Stephanie Miller, noon-3P:
Schultz, 3-6P: Hartmann, 6-7P: TBA--Santos hopes to announce on
Friday. (AFAIK, Rachel Maddow's show airs at the correct time, but I
believe she is still with AirAmerica. All of the other listed syndie
hosts are with Dial Global. Since Dial Global may be partially paying
for the time, getting them to pay for a program from a competing
syndicator could be a problem.)

Just why Santos extended his slot by an hour, thereby deleting the
first hour of Stephanie is a puzzlement to me. Steph's many fans will
not be happy, but then, two hours are better than nothing. I've always
felt that Stephanie trivializes serious issues, so although I think
she is clever and her sidekick, Jim Ward, is cleverer still, I don't
consider myself a loyal fan. But even though Santos has some good
guests, I usually find his show unconsionably dull and I believe that
adding an hour to his already often painfully over-long program is a
mistake. However, it's his company, Santos Media, that is leasing the
time, so, along with all of the other listeners, I don't get a vote.

I work weird hours so I missed the actual announcement on the Jeff
Santos show but apparently WWZN 1510 will be progtalk
by day, sports by night. I think they are buying the time; don't know
yet when it will be in effect. Apparently
the Santos show will continue 6 to 9 am but they are following it with
Stephanie Miller, Thom Hartmann, and Ed Schulz.
So the Jeff Kline comment about WAZN not running it meant that the
shows are going to 1510 instead of 1470.
I thought maybe one show (Miller) would be added but they're adding
three.

The WWZN signal is probably fairly easy to get by day but not so at
night (is that where Cedric Maxwell got his "quack,
quack" expression from? "the signal's so weak only the ducks in the
ocean can get it?") but it's something at least. It may
take awhile for the WWZN site, etc. to be updated.
