#1 KIRO is trying hard to be the voice of the left in the Seattle market. They are against two conservetive blow torches that feature Rush and Medved and Savage. Lt Suits was a host until he switched to the competition, KVI. Suits was always at odds with the KIRO ponytails.

KIRO has been pushing Homosexual hosts and flamers. Their top host, Dave Ross, is running for congress and still uses his radio show to shrill, at least last I heard. Their competiton had a guy run for Govenor last election and he did the right thing and resigned his mic while campaigning. Not Dave Ross, nope, he's a lefty type so does the dishonorable thing. Dave was up agaist Rush in the morning show so was pretty low on listeners but did okay.

Ross went to Bagdad after the liberation and missed his visit with LT Suits, who, as you know is doing duty. Ross was to afraid to leave the hotel. Totally disgraced himself IMO with his reporting there.

Maloney is a low level personality but he was thoughtful and could get to the point really well. I liked his show when I caught it.

BTW KIRO has been hurting for awhile. They lost the broadcast rights to major league baseball. Their afternoon guy, tries to be a voice of reason but I'm sure he's got to be a little worried now. I'll listen in this week and see what happens.

#2 Go to their website RIGHT NOW and you can send messages to the on-air staff at KIRO working the Seahawks - Bucs game. Just type in and the message goes thru to the hosts. I've been having plenty of fun with it, heh heh...
