not soothing the Savage Weiner

sisyphusshruggedActing in solidarity with its sister station KSFO in San Francisco, WABC (770 AM) has temporarily dropped Michael Savage's 7-9 p.m. talk show.
Savage was earlier taken off the air by KSFO - over his contractual status, apparently, not his aggressively conservative on-air views. Savage charges KSFO is "trying to pressure me into signing a contract extension."
In a posting on his Web site, Savage modestly writes, "They want me desperately" and adds the cryptic note: "Beginning July 1, I will be heard again in the San Francisco area. Very soon, the whole story will be told."
He does not explain whether, as his message suggests, he could jump to another station. But he adds that 300-plus stations in his syndication network are still carrying the show.
As of Monday night, that list doesn't include WABC...
edit: sigh.
As one of my anonymous dextral friends reminds me in comments (in words of rather fewer syllables), I did not explain why this is a big deal.
This situation is why this story is of note.

The fauna behind the virtual baseboards do seem to be unusually active lately, don't you find?
