Well Ryan is the flavor of the month but don't expect him till march sometime. though it wasn't all that surprising that the shit would hit the fan, I mean it is a clear channel issue.

Dee's contract ended at the end of the year and he was pretty much asking for the same amount as he was getting in his peak ratings, which is no longer the case as his ratings dropped.

He's doing both, taking over for Kasem and taking over mornings at KIIS. Although to be fair to Rick, it isn't entirely his fault his ratings have dropped. He is still the high point of KIIS's ratings, the other hosts on the station suck as does the musical selection. The station can't get out of the 3's and they blame Rick who happens to be the highest rated on the station. Makes no sense.

And Ryan Seacrest is better...?
But, I suppose it makes sense...radio stations seem to play the same songs...why not have the same DJ?

Casey has American Top 40 and American Top 20. I'm not sure which one Semencrest is taking over.
