Now I'm in Tennessee and haven't been able to listen to him for 3 years so this blow doesn't affect me, but it's still quite a surprise. Perhaps I'll get lucky and he'll be carried on a station around here when he's back on the air.
By the way, is Rabbi Lapin still on? He's another very smart cookie. He's so polite to all his callers, but can cut the liberals to shreds when they call in.
I heard the KVI management 'explination' of what happened and am far from satisfied by it. I can accept that it was ratings/money, etc. But their lack of clear reasoning only hurts their station. Not that they have much of reputation with me after they fired John Carlson for his work on the I-200 initiative (no race prefrences in state hiring/schools).
They have also brought in Larry Elder, who I know little about and Art Bell to fill in their later hours, dropping Ken Hamblin as well. I've tried to listen to Bell a couple of times, just to see what he's all about and as far as I can tell he's a nutburger who doesn't lend any credibility to the stations that carry him.
KVI is now countering Medved's letter, but they're smoking some of Darryl's stash if they think I'm going to believe their version of events over that of an upstanding guy like Medved.
Actually, I can listen to Rush and Medved on the net so the only reason left to listen to KVI is Kirby Wilbur and I'm holding out hope that he jumps ship to Medved's new station in January
