Glenn Beck back on local radio ... sort of

POSTED: Sunday, March 13, 2011, 7:21 PM

Glenn Beck, whose radio show was dropped by WPHT-AM (1210) in January, has found a quasi-local outlet: WILM-AM (1450) in Wilmington, Del.

Starting Monday, March 14, WILM will carry Beck's show from 9 a.m. to noon daily.

Sean Hannity, who lost his WPHT affiliation at the same time, is heard on WILM from 3 to 6 p.m. daily.

It's not clear if Premiere, Beck's syndicator, is billing this move to advertisers as his re-entry into the Philadelphia radio market.

WILM's 1-kilowatt signal (compared with WPHT's 50-kilowatt flamethrower) barely reaches into Philadelphia.

Talk shows' national syndication deals generally require "clearance" in at least the top 10 local markets. Philly is #7 and Wilmington, strictly speaking, is #77.

    Actually I've been getting all my nutty talking points using TuneIn Radio on my EVO. So I haven't missed much. Actually worked out better for me since I always got crappy radio reception at work. I'm listening to a radio station from Chattanooga right now.

    I think “WITH LOVE” is false advertising.
    I visited today and my experience was poor. So poor I’ve decided the “With Love” campaign is false advertising. I got a parking ticket today literally two minutes after meter expired!!! I was there 4 minutes after expiration to re-up the payment, but was two minutes later than the city employee who was just waiting to give the ticket. Does that sound like “love” to you? I decided to leave and take my business out of the city and am encouraging others to do the same so they don’t have the same experience. I saw 3 meter maids giving tickets as a drove out of town. Nice. Here is your parking ticket…with love!!
