Yesterday, WABC/New York and sister News/Talker KABC/Los Angeles announced that, beginning next week, both stations will debut Citadel Media’s newly syndicated Doug McIntyre’s Red Eye Radio in overnights. The official announcement included some not-so-subtle jabs at Premiere Radio Networks Coast To Coast AM — a longtime fixture in overnights at WABC — from both KABC PD David G. Hall and WABC programmer Laurie Cantillo. Late yesterday PRN President of Content and Affiliation Julie Talbott released a statement on the upcoming change at WABC saying, “It’s shocking when a top-rated program is removed from a station. However, we’re incredibly proud that Coast to Coast AM continues to be the most-listened-to overnight radio program in North America, broadcasting live on 527 affiliates to more than three million passionate and loyal listeners each week who enjoy hearing one of the most relevant and entertaining shows in the News/Talk world.”

That’s the headline on a review by Chicago Tribune theater critic Chris Jones of the Windy City comedy troop’s new show, Rush Limbaugh! The Musical. Commenting on the actor who plays ‘El Rushbo’ in the play, Jones notes that although Mark Sutton “has many aspects of his man down, what he fails to channel is the man’s outsize charm and charisma.” Jones adds, “That’s partly because this show keeps dodging the core of Limbaugh: the talker, the microphone, the listeners. It’s all about the relationship, stupid. That’s the man.” Read Jones’ full review of Second City’s latest satirical theater production HERE.
