Don Imus announced on December 13 that Geraldo would be doing a daily show heard on both WABC, New York (770) and L.A.'s KABC (790). But Cumulus Media never confirmed the supposed 10am-noon slot in Los Angeles, and then KABC program director Jack Silver released a revised air talent lineup featuring John Phillips in the 9am to noon slot. Now the Orange County Register's Gary Lycan reports this light-hearted email from Phillips: "I'll be on from 9 a.m.-noon Jan. 3-27th, 9 to 10 a.m. from Jan. 30th on, and pinch-hitting for other KABC hosts whenever they get a raging case of the gout." Lycan says "I will go out on a limb and suggest that Geraldo will debut January 30" in Los Angeles. Back in New York, WABC says Geraldo will be "live and local on 77 WABC" starting January 3.
