So....now what?

This is surprising in that both are happening virtually simultaneously:

Talk-radio hosts Chip Franklin and Rob Douglas are moving on from Baltimore's largest AM station, WBAL.

Franklin, a conservative commentator who has been at the station for more than seven years, is headed to a more lucrative radio job in San Diego, while Douglas is returning to his security consulting business full-time and his home near Denver.

"This is a tremendous, life-changing opportunity for me," Franklin said today by phone from his Montgomery County home, which he is in the process of selling. He leaves WBAL on Aug. 3...

...Douglas, who had an earlier stint at WBAL but who returned to its airwaves just four months ago "no longer desires to be a WBAL Radio talk host," Jeffrey J. Beauchamp, vice president and station manager of WBAL, wrote today in a memo to the staff. Douglas is on vacation and will not, apparently, resume his show.

Well....lord only knows what happens for WBAL from here. I think I was one of the few people who was happy when WBAL dropped Rush Limbaugh a few years back because nationally syndicated radio is kinda monotonous and I am much more inclined to listen to locally relevant programming as opposed to the same old crap being spewed day in and day out.

Perhaps Greg and I should get to work on Conservative Refuge radio......
