I mentioned it in my last reply on this list..."The Huckabee Report" has 
been around for a few months now.  It supposedly has 90 affiliates. 
(PH, from what I've read in the past week, left this earth with 900 
affiliates.)

And as I said on the previous mail, I do expect ABC/Citadel will try to 
sell Huckabee to PH's affiliates, depending on what happens with the 
remains of the franchise after Friday.  The company's KSFO/560, the 
conservative talk sister to KGO in San Francisco, promotes The Huckabee 
Report on its website.  PH moved over to KSFO from a long-time clearance 
on KGO a while back...
