Rich Lieberman sends word that KNEW (910 AM) has dropped Michael Savage as of this morning.
The station's program director, John Scott, was quoted on Lieberman's Web site as saying that they were "headed in a new direction and a new mind set at this station. Savage does not fit in any longer."
Coming from a guy who still puts Glenn Beck on the air, this is, to say the least, confusing. Word on the street points to internal friction with station management; losing Savage's significant salary might also have been a factor.
And thank you!!! For confirming mine, that you cannot counter my clear point. Whats next? Call me a poopy head? I bet you *rocked* in 3rd grade debate.
"'John and Ken' going over big during drive time in the Bay Area, don't think so."
In fact, I believe my memory is correct. KSFO years ago thought they'd go over well in the Bay Area and put them on. They bombed. Immediately.
A special show and Bay Area call-in was arranged with the two. At the time KSFO was mostly local hosts and the callers mostly complained that John and Ken didn't have Bay Area topics. Also, most of the local hosts were more attuned to national topics that were not always in the MSM.
I know that it was a pair from L.A. I believe it was John and Ken.
It’s part of my special charm,,
Savage is a real a-hole in real life. KSFO and KGO share space. People at both stations hated his guts so much, they had to put the ISDN line in his home. Armstrong and Getty in the AM have the highest ratings at the station. The change was announced during their show (910 Am at 9:10 on 9-10)
They were on another station (the one that carried Lykis).
Gosh...he doesn’t GET ALONG with the people he works with...? Oh wow...knock me over with a feather...!
Here, I’ll CHANNEL Savage for ya:
“Another stab in the back...! Who are they? NOTHING..! WORMS..! They’re nothing —LESS than nothing..!! What have they done —you tell me that..! They’re worse than the Brits..! Worse than the Ban Savage Brits..!!”
“7 best sellers, 20 books 2 masters and a PhD, —at a REAL school in a science I should mention— but what have THESE subhumans done, huh? Answer me that..!!
“This means nothing to me —LESS than nothing...All those nothings who said Savage wouldn’t last, Savage wouldn’t last, WHERE ARE THEY NOW, HUH..? I’m still here, and they’re GONE —gone like the wind, you hear me..?
“And so it will be with them...!
(I have a PhD in Savage-ese, you see?)
They are boring, and they are pointedly not conservative. They also talk about Sacramento topics, they are not Bay Area-oriented.
They SHOULD get Rabbi Daniel LAPIN...WONDERFUL RIGHTEOUS BRO..!
But he’s busy, prolly...he probably wouldn’t take the gig.
But he’s GREAT..! Savage material, but...RIGHTEOUS..!
I had a feeling that they were about to drop Savage. I can only imagine the volume of complaints against Savage -- IMO the majority from people who have no love for America.
RE: "He doesn't care about being the best, or even his own personal best anymore . . . ."
Maybe whether Savage knows it yet or not there may be a Bigger reason.
Savage does not need radio -- he's an inch away from being America's sole defender of true free speech.
Not since the 18th century has our free speech been in this much jeopardy.
Savage's invitations to defend free speech in two countries is a sign that he has been Chosen.
That is Savage's future, arguably as great as any Founding Father had.
I knew that it was a pair from L.A. I just cannot swear that it was John and Ken.
Do you remember the names?
Savage.
I discovered 1070 a little while back when I got exasperated with Michael Berry. Hugh Hewitt, Michael Medved, Laura Ingraham ... good station!
The feeling is mutual.
Armstrong & Getty are two weenies from the "Kill Terri" crowd. They were practically salivating when the PTB killed Terri Schiavo. I stopped listening to them at that point.
I heard the news live today. Used to listen to him when he was on KSFO before going national. I think his act has gotten too old for his his new home station KNEW so hence the change. His constant tirade of, “I’m like Rush too!” talk made me bored of him years ago. Still I’d like to know what he will do now. Maybe go by Michael A. Weiner at last?
Isn’t he wonderful..?! HE’S MY RABBI...!!!!
(funny how many callers don’t say that, you know?)
I LOVE THAT GUY..!!! ;)
When all is said and done, Savage is the best of them all -smart, inciteful and totally genuine. He figures out worldsituations long before any of the others. He’s everyone’s smartest relative. Savage is the only one who isn’t posing and trying to be this or that. Beck and Levine are always straining and posing. Savage doesn’t have to. He gets it all without trying and says what he thinks.
