9-26-13 

With the contract between Sean Hannity and Cumulus expiring at the end of 2013, Michael Savage announced on his show last night he would be taking over the afternoon drive slot for Cumulus Media Networks starting in January. The move was expected after the break between Hannity and Cumulus and after Savage leaked he would be taking the slot back in August when it was clear Cumulus was only going to sign Rush Limbaugh. Savage says he expects to have five to six times as many listeners. Hannity is expected to be picked up by other stations in nearly all the markets in which he is now heard on Cumulus stations. Then in January, the real story will be which of the two wins in the ratings, Hannity or Savage.
