Slog - Comments on KIRO Cancels Goldy's Show http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/01/kiro_cancels_goldys_show KIRO radio has snuffed David Goldstein (Aka Goldy, Aka HorsesAss). Goldstein's three-hour Saturday night radio show (on which the Stranger news team got the microphone for the first hour to hype our stories and yell about the week's news) got the axe on Wednesday for "budgetary concerns." Bryan Styble and Carl Jeffers, two other KIRO weekend political talkers, were also iced. And longtime KIRO staffer Dustin Hornby reportedly quit over the news—according to Blatherwatch. Indeed, Blatherwatch has a series of posts on KIRO's decision to knife its weekend stable of radio heads. Blatherwatch, aka Michael Hood, also posits that KIRO's...

But MAYBE the Stranger should do a weekend show on AM1090 since they claim to be the liberal radio station in Seattle?

Erica, Josh? Contact Lee Callihan at AM1090 and see if she wants you.

jeez, if i have a blog and have some 'fast-on-my-feet' leftist calculus proofing abilities i can get a radio show too? speaking of calculus: gotta luv the new math - horse + ass + opinion = journalism.

"budgetary concerns"? I wonder what they pay for TBTL? BTW, if it is "Too Beautiful To Live" doesn't that mean it should die? Anyone listen to it? Since I have a preset on my radio for Dave Ross and Carl Jeffers (yea, and Goldie, if nothing better is on NPR. I have nothing against socialism, but I get a "some animals are more equal than others" vibe from David) I have heard a few minuets of TBTL but a few minutes is all I can take, so I haven figured out the point of it, at least Goldie is an entertaining commie.:)

Please videotape this (it demands a visual) and place on YouTube. YouTube has like a 10 minute limit, but it will probably be brief anyway.
