Sink, I've been listen to Charles since his first day in Phoenix, he is a solid conservative and, unlike most talkshow hosts, an educated guy who believes what he says and doesn't just spout whatever gets him ratings. Now, the two guys that replaced him, Liddy and Hill are absolute jokes, the most brainless twaddle on local radio. I disagree with Goyette's stance on the war, but he is a compelling speaker. I enjoy hearing different opinions on talk radio, its a healthy thing.

All the freepers can blindly trash this guy, but none actually listen to him. Clear Channel is a joke, they have done more to ruin great radio stations than to help them. Goyette is the only show I still listen to on KFYI anymore, thankfully we have 2 or 3 other stations that have a wide range of good programming.

As for the New Times, yeah, its fairly liberal, but they have named many other conservatives as best talkshow host in the past, and they are the only print media in AZ that has the balls to take on the stories that the other newspapers shy away from.

Well, I don't know the guy and have never heard him.

Sounds like sour grapes, to me, from somebody who's likely been canned before.

Clear Channel cares about ratings; obviously his ratings were tanking, or advertisers were griping about him.

Hey, he wants to go against the grain, he needs to suck it up and suffer the consequences.

The New Times has STORIES? I thought they only published advertisements!

I really used to like Goyette and KFYI. But something happened to Charles after Afghanistan. He started out being a conservative against the war, but ended up in Art Bell territory.

When listeners kept challenging his anti-Iraq war views, he got more shrill in his attacks against Bush. When his listeners still supported the war and Bush, he "discovered" endless conspiracies between neo-conservatives, evil oil barons and the Israeli government. As his ratings and support continued to plummet, he began attacking the entire military as an evil cabal bent on empire. Sick stuff.

Goyette featured more and more bizarre guests, tying together the OKC bombing with the Egypt Air crash and 9-11, then tying the whole mess to the Bush administration. The last few times I listened to his show my mouth was literally hanging open as I drove home. I kept waiting for him to say the Face on Mars is Dick Cheney.

It doesn't surprise me at all that Goyette's "last stand" will be alleging a Vast Clear Channel Conspiracy and becoming a darling of extreme leftists.

The only thing I like on KFYI now is Rush, but most the day I'm at KKNT. Ingraham, Prager, Medved, Hewitt... you can't go wrong with that line up.
