Press release and new station lineup follow ...

EDIT:  Updated March 22, 2007

WNTP lists their weekday schedule as follows ...

Bill Bennett’s Morning in America 6 - 9 a.m.

·         The Laura Ingraham Show – 9 – Noon

·         The Dennis Prager Show – Noon – 3 p.m.

·         The Michael Medved Show – 3 – 6 p.m.

·         The Hugh Hewitt Show – 6 – 9 p.m.

·         The Dennis Miller Show – 9 p.m. - Midnight

They say Savage is moving to the midnight to 3am shift bumping Mike Gallagher but they don't list any of that on their website yet.  Gallagher must be fuming at the news since he took this market clearance very seriously but frankly his outrage of the hour format is tiresome.
