WABC has not announced a host for Limbaugh’s spot. But Michael Savage is taking Hannity’s, and all eyes will be watching to see who’s on top when the dust starts to settle.
Savage thinks he offers a strong alternative to Hannity, according to The NY Daily News.
“I know what Sean does,” he says. “He works from Republican Party talking points. He says he doesn’t any more, but he does.
“I don’t. You can’t drone on about the Bill of Rights. It’s just not interesting radio. My show is also an Obamacare-free zone. Who wants to hear about that?”
It’s not that Savage never talks politics, or hot-button issues. Ask any listener who has heard him crank it up on immigration, border security or what he sees as the ever-growing tentacles of big government and the entitlement society it encourages.
“My views changed during the year I was a social worker in New York,” says the 71-year-old Savage, who was born in the Bronx, graduated from Jamaica High and Queens College and now lives in the San Francisco area.
“I was working for the Department of Welfare, and I began to realize people who were on welfare — my clients — were living better than I was. That opened my eyes and changed my political beliefs.”
Regular Savage listeners have heard him expound on this subject in dire tones, warning that the “50% of the country” that doesn’t want to work is suffocating the 50% that does.

Tom's Take: Someone is missing an opportunity at WABC. As of this writing there's no mention of Michael Savage starting Wednesday on the WABC Homepage.
