Nassau Broadcasting had what's known as a limited marketing agreement with WDAC Radio Co. to operate "Frank" at 107.5. When the LMA expired -- and I'm not sure if Nassau chose not to continue (perhaps it couldn't put together the financing to buy it) -- WDAC regained control of the station.

Not that I have heard, since a rumored plan for a Penn campus location fell through.

Clear Channel is counting on additional national-ad revenue that Seacrest's show would bring. (For that matter, that's why the station let Booker go.) And with Lisa Paige gone, it now saves a salary.

I hear that he doesn't want to talk about it in that way.

No joke. He's leaving.

He seems to be getting better. He was on the dinner-hour newscasts Tuesday.

How will it affect Diego? Perhaps he'll have another reason to listen to Wired. As I've written before, Diego is a sidekick/character, not a producer. The Chio show needed a producer after Justice was fired.

Eskin has more listeners. In January's ratings, Missanelli's share of the audience came close to Eskin's among their target demo of men 25 to 54 -- the closest it's ever been. Eskin had a 4.6 while Missanelli had a 4.3. (The year before, WPEN pulled a 0.8 in that 3-to-7 p.m. block. Missanelli has become WPEN's only real bright spot, ratings-wise.) Still, Eskin's cumulative audience in January was 50 percent higher than Missanelli's. The theory is that Missanelli's audience stays with him during a show, while Eskin's listeners either don't listen as long or bounce around the dial.

The deal was sealed about three months ago. I understand he's working in Washington, D.C., but not in TV.

He's a freelancer.
