Baisen must be enjoying this… As predicted by Radio Facts a syndicated host is being replaced after just a few short months and ironically, this is exactly who we were talking about even though we have never heard one single show. Skip Murphy was at a loss from gate because he was asked to do a more music intensive show as opposed to the talk format Baisden had done AND he was not allowed to bring his team with him while he jelled with a new partner on a national show.
This was a HUGE mistake. D.L. Hughley who is certainly an excellent radio host has been given the short end of the syndication stick for too long and this is a great opportunity for him.
Nevertheless, the intellectual will probably be told to dumb down his satire a bit to appeal to the Black audience. Hughley is slated to start in mid August. In addition it will be televised which is great.
We will have to tune in.

Eventually, he will be replaced as well…
The big dm in Columbia SC got rid of the DL Hughley Show from their radio station. They used to carry Michael Baisden when he was with Cumulus radio. Now they replaced Hughley Show with a local afternoon show. They need to bring Baisden back to the Big DM radio station.
