Michael Medved & Phil Valentine's Syndication Ends
Both shows to continue as local programs in 2019. Some stations are going through major programming changes at the end of the year as a result of not only the loss of Laura Ingraham's radio show, the cutback in Michael Savage's live show, and now the ending of Michael Medved and Phil Valentine's syndication via Salem Radio Network and Westwood One, respectively. Though the rumor is Medved will continue self-syndicating via Comrex Access, it's unlikely many affiliates will follow him to any platform that is not XDS-based.
Already our weekend affiliate KHMO-AM in Hannibal, MO has announced they'll be replacing the lost Savage hour with Free Talk Live. Most shows won't let stations just take an hour, but Free Talk Live does. We're totally flexible. If all you need is an hour, take an hour. If you need all twenty one hours per week, we've got you covered, live all seven-days-per-week. Get in touch with me via the contact information below and let me know how FTL can help your station.
