    Program filler content, reap filler ratings and revenue. If they got a 1.0 with comedy, that new lineup’s gotta be good for at least a 0.7 (and even older demos).

    Who in their right mind would listen to Jay Mohr segue into Michael Savage?

    Correct me if I’m wrong but don’t stations in the eastern time zone start their day at 5:00 am (excluding daytime-only AM stations)? What will precede “Wall Street Journal This Morning?”
