    Now we know why Clear Channel has been dropping most of its Comedy formatted stations. Premiere Radio Networks will cease syndication of the 24/7 Comedy network on August 3. Tom Taylor Now reports that Clear Channel will keep the brand alive on IHeartRadio. To serve the remaining affiliates, 24/7 Comedy founder George Gimarc is launching “Today’s Comedy“. The cloud based programming will be customized for each market. The new service will launch with eight affiliates coming over from 24/7 Comedy: Lincoln Financial Media’s 103.1 K276FK Denver, 1TV.com’s 1260 KBSZ/96.1 K241BQ Phoenix, Curtis Media’s 570 WFNL Raleigh, Tyler Media’s 1560 KEBC Oklahoma City, Biscoastal Media’s 990 KTHH Albany OR, Locally Owned Radio’s 1270 KXQZ Twin Falls ID, and two remaining Clear Channel affiliates 800 KBFP Bakersfield and 103.3 K227AG Beaumont TX. There are five remaining Clear Channel affiliates that will likely be seeking a new programming source between now and August 3: 1440 KFNY Riverside CA, 960 WTGM Salisbury MD, 1370 WJIP Ellenville NY, 1420 WACT Tuscaloosa AL, and 1210 WLRO Baton Rouge.

    As TODAY'S COMEDY launches to serve broadcast radio stations and fill the gap left by 24/7 COMEDY's move to digital-only, the new radio format service will feature a week with BILL COSBY as special guest host. The comedy legend will be telling stories every hour AUGUST 4th-8th as part of the inaugural week for the new network.

    CEO GEORGE GIMARC said, “Every week features a different comic who takes over the network and this week it’s one of the biggest we’ve ever had. I’ve been following him for 40 years and have never heard these stories."

    The new service has also added affiliates in KNOXVILLE (OSKIE MEDIA LLC's WKCE-A) and BURLINGTON, VT (RADIO BROADCASTING SERVICES, INC. Oldies WFAD-A/MIDDLEBURY, VT and WRSA-A/ST. ALBANS, VT).

    Q: how lazy are you when you can't be bothered to locally program a jockless format with no remotes, events, minimal crap imaging---just to replicate a feed that was going away?

    A: k267fk'ing lazy.

    i just don't see why anyone would chase these syndicators around.

    It's VERY cheap, cheaper that one local person's salary. That's why.
    They just plug a laptop in, have it run the software where it picks up the feed and it inserts local ids and spots.
    Boom! Instant station that gets around a 2.5 rating...
