It will be a local show. Rumba is going away on Friday at 3pm and then it's Rush marathon until launch on Monday.

I still believe Don Imus's show will soon leave WTKK-96.9 to be heard in morning drive on WXKS-1200 once it goes talk. raccoonradio on "Would WXKS go talk?" http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/18515/page/2#post-74989 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 05:27:33 +0000 raccoonradio 74989@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ Herald says Rush's last show on WRKO will be this Fri., March 5. He will replaced on RKO by Republican consultant Charlie Manning. No idea yet when Rush will begin on 1200; we'd suppose Apr 1 but would CC want Rush OFF the Boston airwaves for that long? (If they do hold off on his debut, listeners can try WGIR 610 in NH, WHJJ 920 in RI, WXTK 95.1 on the Cape, or WTAG 580 in Worcester As you'll see here on radioinsight's headlines, the new logo will say Rush Radio 1200 WXKS raccoonradio on "Would WXKS go talk?" http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/18515/page/2#post-74959 Thu, 18 Feb 2010 04:23:56 +0000 raccoonradio 74959@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ According to today's Herald/Media Biz column the WXKS 1200 lineup will be (on 4/1) 6 am local show 9 am Glenn Beck Noon TBA ("PD was mum on Rush Limbaugh") Allegedly WRKO may have rights to Rush for 2 more years but Clr Chnl/Premiere could find a way to pull it? 3 pm Sean Hannity 6 pm Jason Lewis (out of Minn.) 9 pm TBA Mid Coast to Coast, already running TPM on "Howie re-runs: That didn't last long...?" http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/18640#post-74949 Tue, 16 Feb 2010 03:27:39 +0000 TPM 74949@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ "Red Eye" hosted by Doug McIntyre was formerly a KABC local show. Recently, it was brought back as a new national offering by Citadel, launching on KABC and WABC. It was announced that it would be nationwide, "with more affiliates to be announced." Just Monday (Feb. 15), my TPMedia News Page received a news release from Citadel that "Red Eye" added WRKO, replacing Howie Carr reruns. Expect more Citadel stations to add Doug McIntyre soon. Also, he's doing an extra hour as local for KABC only. raccoonradio on "Howie re-runs: That didn't last long...?" http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/18640#post-74947 Sun, 14 Feb 2010 23:34:37 +0000 raccoonradio 74947@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ Last week it was noticed WRKO had replaced Coast 2 Coast with Howie Carr reruns (taken from 10 hours earlier in the day), 1-5 am. Turned out that RKO lost rights to Coast to Coast which soon landed on 1200 But are the Howie reruns gone already (not long after Jason Wolfe of WRKO told the Herald they were proud to double Howie's hours via the reruns)? WRKO site now lists "Red Eye" 1-5 am. I believe this is hosted by Doug McIntyre (done by Citadel?), a new show on WABC and KABC which is expanding nationwide., Howie is on vacation this week. They wouldn't just be picking up Red Eye for this week? Or is it permanent? Again, strange so soon after this change, esp. with Wolfe making it sound like Howie was so valuable to RKO that they expanded his hours, and a banner ad on the RKO site said, "Want more Howie? YOU GOT IT!" Why? bostonradio on "Would WXKS go talk?" http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/18515/page/2#post-74931 Fri, 12 Feb 2010 10:41:22 +0000 bostonradio 74931@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ Spanish music ended at midnight then Thelma Houston's "Dont Leave Me This Way" and then first hour repeat of "Coat to Coast" from a previous broadcast. raccoonradio on "Would WXKS go talk?" http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/18515/page/2#post-74930 Fri, 12 Feb 2010 03:48:18 +0000 raccoonradio 74930@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ Noticed Coast to Coast tonight before 2 am on AM 1200. For a sec thought it was an informercial but there was George's voice, etc.--plus I tuned to 1180 WHAM and they were running the same thing. At top of hour, ID "WKOX Newton Boston's new home for Coast to Coast". All PSAs till show started again, and one mention of "WKOX Newton".

Listen to us from 1-5a on 1200 AM, WKOX (note: the call letters will change to WXKS-AM in a few months
