Chicago attorney Warren Ballentine's syndicated talk show debuted this week on Midway Broadcasting news/talk WVON-AM (1690) -- but not in the time slot originally planned.
Citing contract obligations, the station is keeping Bev Smith's show on from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. (the slot first announced for Ballentine), airing Ballentine from 3 to 6 a.m. weekdays.
Also at WVON, local political analyst and cable TV host Paul Lisnek turned up Tuesday with a test run for his own talk show.
