H&F will get replaced by B&J when the station gets sold. My feeling
is that since H&F also have their premium members where they get to
watch the show via webcam and can also listen to it after via
podcast. I'm predicting that when KLOS is sold, the new owners will
want a piece of that action because all previous contracts will be
considered null and void and H&F will leave. Or, the new owners will
deem all things H&F to be property of KLOS and won't let them do their
premium member stuff without getting some compensation from it which
will then cause H&F to leave.

H&F will get replaced by B&J when the station gets sold.  My feeling
is that since H&F also have their premium members where they get to
watch the show via webcam and can also listen to it after via
podcast.  I'm predicting that when KLOS is sold, the new owners will
want a piece of that action because all previous contracts will be
considered null and void and H&F will leave.  Or, the new owners will
deem all things H&F to be property of KLOS and won't let them do their
premium member stuff without getting some compensation from it which
will then cause H&F to leave.
I'm just wondering if you or anybody else happen to know how long is
H&F's contract? I'm pretty sure the last contract M&B signed with KLOS
was for 3 years so I'm wondering if H&F's contract is about that
same...

Hopefully, KLOS was smart and only signed them to a year to start
with.

I don't think KLOS is getting sold any time soon. Who is going to by them? Clear Channel and Cumulus are the two biggest dogs in the market. There is also the rumor that KLOS will go to an all sports format in January. They own Jack FM and that is a far cheaper station to run than KLOS. It will be interesting in a month or so to see what the rating for the Heidi and Frank show are

Radio statios get bought and sold all the time. How many times did
KLOS get new owners while M&B were there? When the new owners come
in, they cut staff and make changes to lower operating costs.

Actually they don't. KLOS (KECA-FM) stated broadcasting in 1947 and was owned by ABC. It was owned by ABC, Disney ABC until 2006 when Citadel merged with Disney ABC. After Citadel filed for bankruptcy they merged with Cumulus in 2011. There have been several management teams that have ran the radio station which contributed to the complaints that M&B expressed.

To add to the prediction. Heidi, Frank and Frosty were on KABC for a year until 10/1/10. They may have still been under contract with Cumulus and it was very easy to call them in and say go to work and it did not cost them a dime. They can test them out until their contract runs out and then bring Brian and Jill back or go in some other direction
