Galvin to be Springer's sidekick

Jerry Springer will have a sidekick when his local talk show debuts at 9 a.m. Monday on Cincinnati's new liberal talk radio station being launched by Clear Channel.

He is Gene Galvin, teacher, writer, longtime worker for the Democratic Party, former talk host on WDBZ-AM (1230) and a 35-year buddy of Springer's.

Starting Monday, what is now WSAI-AM (1530) will drop its oldies format picking up the frequency's historical call letters of WCKY-AM (The WSAI letters will go back to 1360, which is now known as the "Sports Animal/Homer").

The new liberal talker will be known as "1530 WCKY: The Revolution in Talk Radio."

The schedule so far:

6-9 Morning Sedition (likely)
9-12 Springer/Galvin
12-3 Al Franken
3-6 Ed Schultz
6-10 Randi Rhodes
10-1 Mike Malloy or Lionel (TBA)
