Michael Graham to be hired by KFI
2005-08-24
From Drudge. Do we have a picture of the Bonneville Salt Flats?

KFI has an extended offer for Michael Graham to fill in at the station because KFI still values free speech, says KFI pd, Robin Bertolucci...

That's the AM station in LA that carries Rush.

#9  Well, I don't imagine he'll be on air in Britain once their new anti-terror laws make it through. :)

But we might well see popular demand surge on behalf of Mr. Graham in the US. I've never heard him before, but now I'm interested in hearing what he has to say. Maybe other folks are, too. What country is hungrier for straight talk?

#7  Er, she.

I've heard multiple rumors that ABC/Disney wants to unload all of its radio stations, and "controversial" hosts are difficult to package to prospective buyers. My only hope is that they keep The John Batchelor Show. His show is top-notch.

#6  MG's site http://michaelgraham.com/ now says that CAIR is denying that they asked for MG to be fired and ABC is denying that they asked MG to apologize.

In CAIR's case, their denial contradicted by one of their own press releases.

#5  Frank,

I don't know if the people you mentioned are conservative. If they are conservative and have low ratings then rumors are that, they will be moved over to weekend shows. They have done this in the past.

I think that there is some new advertising money deal between this station and the mujahadeen's of CAIR. They made a deal with the devil for revenue. But, I can't find any proof. This is more than a simple firing, this station for some reason, for local coverage ONLY, is slanting to the Left. I say local coverage because Rush and Sean are syndicated.

Maybe, Sea can keep a eye on this because he is in the green zone.

#4  Thanks PR.

I had lunch with MG (at McCormick & Shmick!) a few weeks ago on the radio station's dime. Glad I got the chance to meet him before the wheels fell off the wagon...

#2  Sea,

That would be me. I also posted the hiring of Mr. Graham, yesterday. Here is the link #6, #7, & #10.

#1  To whoever said yesterday that WMAL was going to add liberal voices, I think you're right. Today they had a promo about how "we can all sometimes disagree."
