I stopped listening to WABC in NY when they starting letting go of all the old timers.

Guess it's a nationwide pattern. Radio is a business, and I can understand it if someone is not drawing sufficient ratings.

In SF, however, Lee Rodgers did get good ratings, so it appears that at least part of the reason for his dismissal was political--to silence someone who is not anti-Muslim, but who is anti-Jihadist.

In a shocking letter to his disgruntled fans, KSFO (560-AM) radio host Lee Rodgers told them he was fired from the station but probably would have quit anyway, because Citadel, owned by Farid Suleman, had pushed him toward making positive statements about Muslims. [My emphasis]

Though understandably reticent to talk about Lee Rodgers Ms Simpson did take one call at the end of the show. She acknowledged that there had been calls throughout the three hours but refused to discuss it beyond the simple fact that that's how the business works. No question about it.

But! I estimate that one-half of her show was about Islamist acts of violence and the open and obvious threat to our well being.

Kudos Miss Simpson!
