Meanwhile, there are also new developments happening at DirecTV Entertainment’s nightly Nick & Artie Show, where a “tweet” from Artie Lange (pictured) over the weekend confirmed rumors that Nick DiPaolo has opted to leave the program “to pursue some great opportunities.” A spokesperson for the talk show told NTS MediaOnline Today, “After an extended holiday hiatus, The Nick & Artie Show will return to the air as The Artie Lange Show and will continue to feature Artie’s unique take on sports and comedy.” The Premiere Networks-distributed radio show is produced at DirecTV’s NYC studios, from which a nightly TV simulcast also airs on the company’s Audience Channel 239.
