Legendary News/Talk station KDKA/Pittsburgh announced today that it has cancelled The Rush Limbaugh Show and will replace it with The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly, starting November 15. O'Reilly's program, syndicated by Westwood One, will be carried live on KDKA, weekdays from noon-2pm.
KDKA is owned by Westwood One sister Infinity Broadcasting. Limbaugh's show is distributed by Clear Channel-owned Premiere Radio Networks.
Infinity SVP and Pittsburgh Market Manager Michael Young said in a statement, "We have been carefully following Bill's radio show for some time, especially in major markets where his program is on with strong radio stations. The show has done very well in those situations, and we are confident the strength of KDKA and the compelling content of The O'Reilly Factor will make an excellent fit."

While trading Rush for Billo might seem like a wash, remember that Bill is actually to the left of most of the hate radio gasbags (its what gives him the cred with the Fox viewers that he's "balanced") and it gets Rush off one of the most powerful stations in the US.
I wonder, if this means Billo will be off WPTT and if they'll replace his show with someone like John McIntire.
