Rush Limbaugh's replacement has finally been named and it certainly won't be easy for anyone to attract the same kind of audience he did. But Westwood One has decided on Dan Bongino, whose name is better known in the U.S. than here. 

Bongino certainly has a colourful past. He was a former NYC police officer and a Secret Service agent for five years, before getting into radio and making an unsuccessful bid for political office. He's as right wing as Rush, but whether he'll be as strident or will appeal to the same audience remains to be seen.

They share one other thing in common - both suffered from cancer, with the new host just recovering from Hodgkin's lymphoma. His first show in the Limbaugh slot will be May 24th.

So what happens to Limbaugh's old slot on WBEN-AM? The answer is no more syndicated programming. Instead, The Buffalo News reports the station is extending two local shows to cover the timeslot that Rush used to occupy.
