Now, this is the Mark Simone show on 710 W.O.R.

Hey, it's Friday. That's the good news, bad news, a real feel today, 103, 104 degrees. Wow. And, you know, summer's only got, like, a month and a half left, and We're past the halfway point. We'll get to

Hulk Hogan. We'll get, by the way, they don't always die in threes. That's always been a myth.

We'll get to that. We'll get to Galane Maxwell and Epstein and we'll get to the mayoral race.

And we'll get to Zoran Mamdani's ideas.

Apparently they've been tested out

in an American city. We'll see how that went.

We'll get to President Trump.

He's leaving right now as we speak for

Scotland. Meet with the UK

Prime Minister and

it is Scotland. He's got a great golf course

there. Actually a couple and we'll get to Stephen Colbert. Apparently it looks even worse than first reported for him. His ratings have been declining steadily for a couple of years. And it looks like the other reason they got rid of him now he was on track

to lose about 65 million this year he was losing 40 to 50 million a year but he was on track

for a much much bigger loss this year now you know CBS was a part of paramount paramount

paramount was the parent company.

And all of this has just been taken over by Skydance, which is David Ellison, the son of Oracle zillionaire Larry Ellison.

And apparently this merger, which was delayed for many, many, many, many months.

The delay was one of the reasons Colbert stayed on the air.

They didn't want to make any sudden moves until the merger was completed, and it was.

The FCC gave approval, but with a promise from Skydance that they would clean things up a

little over there at CBS.
