9/12: Laura Ingraham, Bill O’Reilly, Dennis MIller move to 1160/WCFO-AMBy Rodney Ho | Friday, September 12, 2008, 05:09 PM

Popular talk-show host Laura Ingraham is leaving WGKA-AM, though it wasn’t because she was doing poorly there. In fact, she was one of the station’s strongest shows. But her syndicator (who took her off the air for a few weeks in June/July as a hardball negotiating tactic) couldn’t come to an agreement with Salem’s syndication arm. The result: next week, Ingraham loses 17 affiliates since Salem owns 17 stations (including WGKA).
On WGKA, Mike Gallagher will move from noon to 3 to a live spot from 9 to noon. And Dennis Prager will also be live from noon to 3, from his current 9 to midnight spot. Both shows will now be live, instead of taped, so Atlantans can now call them both and get on the air.
Meanwhile, Ingraham moves to 1160/WCFO starting Tuesday. Dr. Laura (the other Laura) moves from 9 to noon to noon to 3. The station dropped Dr. Joy Browne and bumped Lou Dobbs to nights. It will now air Bill O’Reilly from 3 to 5 (who will no longer be on 1230/WFOM-AM in the Marietta area from 1 to 3) and Dennis Miller from 5 to 7 (who will soon leave 10 to 1 on WFOM-AM). David Dickey Friday at WFOM said he will have a new game plan for that station’s 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. slot soon.
