right-wing blogs we like
The Reagan Wing Hearin lies the real heart of Washington State Republicans. Doug Parris runs this red-meat social conservative group site which bars no holds when it comes to saying who they are and who they're not; what they believe and what they don't; who their friends are and where the rest of the Republicans can go. Well-written, and flaming.
Orbusmax inexhaustible Drudgery of NW conservative news
The Radio Equalizer prolific former Seattle KVI, KIRO talk host speaks authoritatively about radio.

As a woman, I sincerely wonder about Bryan's sexual proclivities. Not that it would bother me if he were gay. I just think if he actually is, that he should embrace it. Get out of the closet. something's bothering him,he's too angry, intense, and I don't know, but my usually right on intuition tells me it is sexual. Its the hair piece, it is the cut of his blazer, I cannot listen to him very long for that very reason. My sister in law who was physically abused reacted almost violently when she heard him. She said it was there was anger held too close for too long. scared her.
I just screwed up and posted on the wrong thread. Sorry
I just read that KTTH has gone up in the ratings and that Rush Limbaugh is on top. Of course I am just a talk radio fan who must come here to get the insight on radio happenings from those of you who really know.
But it is nice that KTTH does not have to change format to remain viable. Just keep doing what they are doing and we will keep listening.
And it really is nice to know I am not the only conservitive leaning being in the Seattle area.
Any truth to the ratings report?
KIROFM 97.3 Multi-format: news and nearly all local talk. This is where classic KIRO AM news talk radio went... hopefully, not to die. The home of Dave Ross & Luke Burbank, Dori Monson, Ron & Don, Frank Shiers, Bill Radke, Linda Thomas, Tony Miner and George Noory.
KUOW FM 94.9 Seattle's foremost public radio news and talk.
KVI am 570 KHz Visit the burnt-out husk of one of the seminal right-wing talkers in all the land. Here's where once trilled the reactionary tones of Rush Limbaugh, John Carlson, Kirby Wilbur, Mike Siegel, Peter Weissbach, Floyd Brown, Dinky Donkey, and Bryan Suits.
Now it's Top 40 hits from the '60's & '70's aimed at that diminishing crowd who still remembers them and can still hear.
KTTH am 770 KHz Right wing home of local, and a whole bunch of syndicated righties such as Glennn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Medved, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Lars Larsony, and for an hour a day: live & local David Boze.
KPTK am 1090 KHz Syndicated liberal talk. Stephanie Miller, Thom Hartmann, Ed Schultz, Randi Rhodes, Norman Goldman fill in the large hole to the left on Northwest radio dial.
KLFE AM 1590 kHz Syndicated right-wing 2nd stringers like Mark Levin, Bill Bennett, Mike Gallagher, Dennis Prager, Dennis Miller and Hugh Hewitt inhabit this timid-voiced neighbor honker for your radio enjoyment (unless you're behind something large like Costco).
KOMOAM News, traffic, Ken Schram and John Carlson.
Definitely crotch rock. Ditches the politics, but keeps the spirit of the station alive.

there isn't the talent in Seattle radio to convert KTTH into any kind of talk station

give Styblehead the morning drive. that would stop the growth on the eastside... people would hang up commuting altogether. what a fool!

Would it make sense to have both liberals and consevatives?
We previously had that on our local talk radio, conservative 0900-1200 and lib 1300-1500, it was interesting.
