According to a marginal note on the site below, Stephanie Miller and Ed Schultz are being picked up by Tacoma station KLAY 1180, replacing failed-actors-turned-Rush-wannabes Jerry Doyle and Dennis Miller.

ON EDIT: My original post, based on the article above, reported that this was a done deal. From sources at KLAY, I understand this is not yet true -- they are merely "in negotiations" to acquire the shows. It is also possible KLAY may pick up more of KPTK's programming than just those two shows.
