Just a quickie: I noticed yesterday that WOR in New York, considered Michael Savage’s flagship station in the east, bumped the Nation’s Third Most Popular Liar for … Rutgers football.

And to top it off, the station substituted Michael Smerconish, who usually isn’t on until after Savage, for the blowhard. The conservative commentator was on-site at Rutgers stadium in Piscataway, NJ, doing a pre-game hour.

I thought this was interesting because in the past, WOR has at least presented the first hour or so of Savage, then switched to Rutgers. But this time, the station decided to let another political commentator talk about college football instead.

Remember, WOR some time ago cut the last hour of Savage’s program. The station now presents Savage from 6-8 p.m., followed by Smerconish. I guess that’s because WOR grew tired of paying for an hour of canned programming.

I’m waiting for the day Savage is bumped for Lady Knights basketball. That will be a hoot.

Keep the faith.
