Is Rover over?

Looking to find a new "Drive Time' style radio show. For too many years Ive listened to Rovers Morning Glory (WMMS) and while it has been entertaining, its kinda lost its mojo. The format is though, is ideal.
It's sophomoric, crude and stupid but it's also current and occasionally raises interesting issues. What I think is perfect is the format – it's classic LIVE talk radio with news every so often, some call-ins, its very topical, has the right mix of personalities (the know-it-all: Rover, the conspiracy guy, the liberal hipster, the wacky guy: Jeffrey, etc) it's available online for free, and the kicker they have in-studio cameras so you can see the hosts (not that exciting) along with any videos they play (which is quite frequent when they breakdown the latest meme or news item); I keep a small browser window playing while I work. And the show repeats all day. Stern is $$$ and last I listened, he overly fetishized celeb culture and opinions). Any other shows worth a listen?
