New WLS lineup possibilities

Conservative wonderboy Ben Shapiro is slated to take over afternoons for Steve Dahl on WLS, according to today's Robert Feder column, but only the 2-5pm slot. The rest of the moves will probably be as follows...

WLS did not announce a replacement for the 5 p.m. hour of Dahl’s show, but insiders said one scenario would be to move morning host Big John Howell to a two-hour slot from 5 to 7 p.m. Howell’s morning co-host, Ramblin Ray Stevens, is expected to leave. Morning news anchor John Dempsey will continue.

Erich Mancow Muller is said to be in line to host mornings, but no agreement has been finalized. It would be a return to WLS for Muller, who co-hosted middays with Pat Cassidy from 2008 to 2010. Muller most recently hosted mornings for Cumulus Media on the former WLUP (aka The Loop) before it was sold in March.

Sounds like it will be 100% conservative talk now. Time to take it off the pre-sets.
