After more than four decades on the airwaves in Atlanta, Neal Boortz this morning announced that he is ending his syndicated talk show on January 21, 2013, replaced by former presidential candidate Herman Cain.

Cain, a 66-year-old former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza, joined WSB in 2008 as an evening talk show host until early 2011, when he decided to run for president. His bid ended in December. Since January, he has provided daily commentaries on Boortz’s show and has continued to sub in for Boortz.
Cain’s radio footprint will now be national. Boortz is heard on about 240 radio stations. Talkers magazine, which tracks talk radio, estimates Boortz draws more than six million listeners a week, tied with Laura Ingraham for seventh.
“For all practical purposes,” Cain said on the air, “I am done with politics. Essentially, I wanted to continue to express my views and help educate what’s going on in this country.”

1. Someone who would say

"help educate what's going on in this country" is way too inarticulate to educate anyone.

3. I predict Cain won't be neary as successful

For one, if I remember correctly, Boortz was fairly hardcore about being a libertarian and I assume much of his audience is made up of like-minded people. I doubt Cain will be able to retain all of them.
