: RUMOR: THE NEW RYAN SEACREST / CLEAR CHANNEL / PREMIERE CONTRACT THAT WAS RECENTLY SIGNED INCLUDES SEACREST IN THE MORNING. Could this be why DreX was fired? Seacrest's current KIIS FM / LA show does not start until 7am Chicago time. Would he come in earlier to do Chicago? Would they run "best-ofs" for the first few hours here until he came live?
: Lots to think about..
I could see this happening after the first of the year. Coming in a bit early or running a best of would be what would happen. If you recall DreX used to run a best of in the 5am hour and Eddie and Jobo would always brag about being completely live at 5.
I think listeners will probably assume the DreX show is on vacation for the holidays, but after 1/3 they will start to get suspicious and start wondering what happened.
