Kirby Wilbur was a mainstay on Seattle radio, and one of the leaders of the conservative movement on radio in Seattle. Following his show, Wilbur was brought in to the office and given the news. As for a replacement, Radio-Info has been told by a KVI-AM (570) staffer that We're still working on that.

This is a huge loss for talk radio in the Seattle area. Those who know Kirby love him for the concern he has for his community, his fellow citizens and this nation. Since this is so early in the news curve, there are few details about why this has happened.

I think in this recession we could use a lot of local generated shows in favor of cheaper alternatives.

WOW - I listen to him .... reasons???? Most likely too conservative for the local Libs and Dems in Seattle ... bet they find an Ed Shultz type to replace him - KVI also carries Sean Hannity, Mark Lavin and Laura Ingram ....

Let me guess.
Although popular, not the icon Rush or Sean.
A call from the Chicago mafia, and poof!
Like any smart general, pick off the less able to fight first.

Offend? Probably Queen Christine, Boy Zero, and 99% of the Dhimmis in Seattle.
This sucks beyond all known reason.
I plan on writing KVI to let them know I’ll no longer be using their sponsors. The ‘pogrom’ has begun!

No offense, but listening to Kirby was pretty difficult. He always sounded as though he had a handful of marbles in his mouth. He was sincere and appreciably conservative but after awhile his show was stale. Just sayin’

Sad news. Kirby is very good. I'll miss listening to him.
I wish they had shortened his show instead. It's 4 hours. Who else does a 4-hour show? No one that I know of.

I agree with you.
I stopped listening to Kirby about 3 years ago. Sometimes, when there was a story that generated huge interest- he would ignore it.
I would then turn to another station to listen to that story.
He was getting out of touch and boring.

Dang... I’ve been a KVI listener for about 20 years. I remember when Kirby started with his evening show.
Something really bad has been happening at KVI since they lost Rush to KTTH.

Just sent KVI and email asking them if they know what happened to the Post-Intelligencer. (it was a lib rag that folded here in Seattle, good riddance)

I stopped listening to all talk radio since Nov. 4, 2008. I was a big fan of Kirby but his “valley speak” got on my wife’s nerves.
I was there with him in Westlake park when we shut down Hillary’s health care boondoggle. This is a shame.

You have got to be kidding me? Kirby Gone from KVI? KVI hasn't made a stupid move like that since they dropped Rush, who KTTH picked up. Kirby is the last of the great Northwest conservative radio host.

There’s a talk guy in the NE Ohio area named Howie Chizek who’s been doing a 5 hour daily show since the 1970s.He’s got to be ready for the rubber room when he retires.

They set him free?
Now he can be truly free to say what he wants, I hope he does some PJTV while he sets up for a come back.
