Chalkboard fetishist Glenn Beck has lost his 9-11 a.m. time slot on KMBZ 980 due to piss-poor ratings, according to Bottom Line Communications. Beck is getting booted to the 9 p.m.-midnight slot, starting today.

That's the good news. The bad news: There's more Beck on the airwaves. The show will run a full three hours.



Taking the Beck slot is self-proclaimed "moderate conservative" Chris Merrill, who KMBZ program director Neil Larrimore said, "Is a unique

talent that has the tools to inform and, most of all, entertain the

listeners."

Not really sure how "moderate" Merrill really is, given that his website goes to great (and unfunny) pains to make fun of liberals in Lawrence, Kansas (where Merrill was on KLWN 1320).

Merril's website is horrible. Poorly designed and a lack of real content.

Midnight is a much better time for Beck to reach his audience. They're mostly full-mooners, anyway.
