CBS affiliate has Democratic politician under contract as talk show host.
Dorey Monson, afternoon host on KIRO radio

Posted on 09/21/2004 3:56:39 PM PDT by ketchikan

On his Sept. 20, 2004 program afternoon radio host of KIRO in Seattle, Dorey Monson, revealed that KIRO's AM talk show host, Dave Ross, who is currently running for the US House, is still under contract with KIRO. That in itself may not be a problem. Ross had said he wanted a job to fall back on if he lost the race. However, Ross was allowed to continue his AM show, "THE DAVE ROSS SHOW", for more than a month AFTER he began his campaign. Further, while the show has guest hosts for the time being, it is still promoted as the DAVE ROSS SHOW.

"Kiro is the same CBS affilitate that fired the talk show host who was critical of Rather."

And according to ABC's latest Rathergate story, this is where Mary Mapes started out.

See other thread: "John Carlson is breaking news about Mary Mapes (listen live)" (sorry don't know how to link)

KIRO radio is part of KIRO TV where Mary worked in Seattle.

checked the KIRO website: 710KIRO.com/daveross

His wage page is still up with his picture. They have a note that he is on a LOA and they are looking forward to his return. Then they have info on the guest hosts (including Bill Press)
