My apologies for the paucity of posts. I've been out of town since Saturday. But I've returned with a head full of savagely deep thoughts. Until one bites me there is this ...
I am not pretending that many will notice or care, but my alma mater, KTLK, (noted in previous posts for its' gruesome ratings performance to date), has terminated morning host, Andrew Colton, as of this morning, Feb. 28. No further details at this time other than a comment from a KTLK insider describing, "a dramatic scaleback of news operations". Odd,I wasn't aware there was a news operation at KTLK. Don't you need reporters for that? Maybe the source means KTLK missed a payment for access to all those Fox News rip 'n reads.
Quit listening when they canned you and your walking right wing talking point of a co-host. What chaps my kiester is that there is no room in this market, apparently, for talk, as in conversation, that falls somewhere between the yawning gulf between the precious, apple-polishing, pedantry of public radio and the spittle-flecked, jowel flapping, capillary-poppin' partisan histrionics on rant wing radio. Whatever happened to interesting conversation? Whatever happened to the Jack Parr, Dick Cavett, Tom Snyder school of talk?
