I'm not sure if Hamblin is located in Denver now or not--I don't think we get the show in Denver but I could be wrong.Yeah, he lives outside of Denver and does the show from home. I get (got) his show here in Durango, CO. Too bad. I really like his show and style. Have been a caller many times. Oh well, hope he gets back soon.

Confirm what, the broadcasting from his house or the sexual harassment?
For the former send Hamblin an email. My former shyster, who is also a CFI, gave Hamblin his check flight in 2001 and has been to his house, knows his wife, etc. They met at a Harley biker bar in Denver on Parker Road called the Piper Inn. For the latter contact Peter Boyles at KHOW radio in Denver who has detailed the story on his radio program. Name of the woman who was harassed was either Karen Trinidad or Susan Witkin. Boyles told the story, he was in attendance at the party, several years ago. Incident occurred prior to Hamblin being syndicated, which is why he is in syndication and broadcasts from his home. The whole thing never went to court as I believe the authorities never got involved. The woman got a settlement from the radio station and Hamblin got the boot. Some in the local black community tried to raise a stink about KOA being racist when he was canned but that quickly died down when details of why he was fired came out.

Incident occurred prior to Hamblin being syndicated...When did he go syndicated?

Wow! I knew he broadcasted from his house sometimes, but I never heard of the harassment...I have a total different view now. I thought he was more "straight-cut" king of guy.

Even if he was out-of-bounds at an office XMAS party, I still liked his take on lots
of current topics.
And some of his historical perspectives, such as terming his years in
the lovely urban environs of Detroit as his "tour of duty".
If nothing else, I hope he at least gets short guest gigs on TV to vent
on some of the more foolish events in the current landscape.

From Boyles account Hamblin was pretty tanked up when it occurred. Not that being drunk in public is an excuse for what happened. Had he been sober it probably wouldn't have occurred.

I did hear on my local station, that Ken spoke with a director, he said that he was sorry for the current events but he needed to get off the air and that his forthcomings did include men in black robes and attorneys.
He illegally took all of his tapes from the studio.

I used to listen to him, but the local stations
dropped him.
