BlatherWatch has reported that sources (there were 3) said the Michael Medved Show was leaving KTTH for KKOL. We had a patent on it, but, according to Medved producer Dan Sytman, it was patently false.
We have made a correction on our site.
Here's his letter:
My message to you is this: Please be more careful before posting rumors about Entercom. Most of what you've posted is incorrect. In particular, I want to address what you've posted about Michael Medved and Entercom management. I can tell you unequivocally that Michael Medved is not moving to KKOL. That rumor is patently false. His show does extremely well on KTTH and there is absolutely no reason to move it. And about the management of Entercom--all the KTTH employees that I know are very happy about Entercom management, Tom Clendending in particular.They have been very supportive about providing another outlet for conservative talk in Seattle. I think your postings have been inaccurate and unfair to the good people who manage and work for Entercom Seattle.
Sincerely, Dan Sytman Producer,
Michael Medved Show
Executive Producer, Salem Radio Network
We also reported that KTTH employees complain the start-up station, doing so well after they stole Rush Limbaugh from KVI, has now sunk below KVI's overall ratings after being neglected by PD Tom Clendening busy playing Whack-A-Mole to the multiple leaks in the hull of Mothership KIRO.
We'll stand by that.
Note the narrowness of the "unequivical" part of Sytman's disclaimer of BlatherWatch's reporting. It pertains only to Medved's Show and the apparently apocryphal move to KKOL. While Sytman works for the syndicated Medved (an independent entity), he's also a KTTH talkhost (Sat 6-8am) and an employee of Tom Clendening. Who could blame him for publically describing his boss in such glowing terms?
Yeah, really thank you Intercom for being so supportive about providing another conservative outlet. Just what Seattle needed....NOT.

Has there ever been a more putrid talkshow host than Alan Prell? My Gawd...he is awful.
