Ray Liotta Tv Schedule

Rush returns to air after rehab stint

Five weeks after he left the airwaves to undergo treatment for addiction to prescription painkillers, conservative broadcaster Rush Limbaugh will return to the microphone as host of his daily radio show Monday. Limbaugh's plan to resume his regular schedule was revealed yesterday to listeners of his nationally syndicated program by his brother, David, during an appearance with Internet gossip columnist Matt Drudge, who was filling in for the day as guest host. Limbaugh's show airs in Boston noon to 3 p.m. on WRKO-AM (680).

"He's obviously chomping at the bit to get back to doing what he does best, and that's getting back on the air," David Limbaugh said. "And as you can imagine, there are one or two . . . things that he probably will have on his mind." Limbaugh, 52, told his millions of listeners Oct. 10 that he has suffered for years from an addiction to prescription painkillers and was taking time off for 30 days in rehab.

Huntington's Martin Big Apple-bound

Huntington Theatre Company artistic director Nicholas Martin is heading to New York again this spring. According to The New York Times, Martin has been pegged to direct a new play on Broadway by Stephen Belber called "Match," with film actor Ray Liotta. Although Huntington spokeswoman Dina Croce said the story was speculative and no contracts have been signed, she did say "Match" is not the same play Belber was commissioned to write as a winner of the Huntington's Calderwood Commission for New American plays. That play, Croce said, will be considered as a potential production in the Huntington's new theater spaces at the Boston Center for the Arts when they open next fall. - TERRY BYRNE
