Completing The Seattle Trifecta: Salem To Add Conservative Talker

With this week’s flip to Oldies at 570 KVI Seattle, Salem Communications is quickly acting to fill the void. 1590 KLFE will drop its mix of brokered Russian and Christian preaching on Monday, November 15 to throw its hat in the Talk arena as “Freedom 1590“.

The lineup at launch will include Bill Bennett from 3am to 7am, Mike Gallagher from 7am to 9am (again from 12am to 3am), Dennis Prager from 9am to 12pm (and again from 9pm to 12am), Dennis Miller from 12pm to 3pm, Hugh Hewitt from 3pm to 6pm, and Mark Levin from 6pm to 9pm. While only Levin was part of the KVI lineup, it is possible that other syndicated talkers will join KLFE or Bonneville’s KTTH as they are contractually able.

It’s rare that Salem has to compete with one of its own syndicated hosts, but that will be the case here where Salem’s Michael Medved airs from 12pm to 3pm on KTTH.

Thank God, I would go insane in King County if the only thing to listen to was brain washing.

>>Seattle loses conservative talker KVI (570), gains “Freedom 1590”
Today (11/15) Fisher converts KVI, the country’s oldest major-market all-conservative talk station to oldies. In a surprise move, cross-town operator Salem Communications is seizing the opening, and dropping the brokered-ethnic programming on its KLFE (1590). It is using many of the personalities of its Salem Radio Network: Bill Bennett, Mike Gallagher, Dennis Prager and Hugh Hewitt. There’s also Westwood’s Dennis Miller and Citadel Media’s Mark Levin. The market’s other conservative talk outlet is Bonneville’s “Truth” KTTH (770)
