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.
Larry Lujack, Jerry Kay, Lan Roberts, Dick Curtis, Lee Perkins, Pat O'Day. (Thanks, Bill Taylor)

White shirts, skinny ties, Brylcreem, smoking and the Beatles are the hot stuff.
What a great time to grow up.
KJR, Seattle, channel 95!!!
Just a couple more years to free love and the hippy movement.
When I was playing music 'back in the day' and we recorded, there was only one way to get your record played on KJR...yep! you guessed it. [Had to make a deposit in the Bank of O'Day ]..ha, those were the days...indeed [Nice pic Bla'M; brought back some memories]
Great photo. I didn't realize that Lan Roberts ever worked for KJR or that Lujack had been in Seattle. Pretty crazy, a spot on the dial with Lan Roberts. and Uncle Lar!
I grew up listening to these guys on KJR. They were hip when hip was a short-sleeved white shirt and a skinny black tie. KJR was the Seattle music scene in the early 60's. And Larry Lujack was the best.
Ho w his program would start, many tunes, and then, " this is Larry Lujack playing six in a row." I was listening the night of his last shift on KJR when he said he was moving to the greatest rock n roll station in the world. I do not think he was right, I thought then that he was leaving it.James
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.
White shirts, skinny ties, Brylcreem, smoking and the Beatles are the hot stuff.
What a great time to grow up.

Wow, a photo of Lujack at KJR. First time I've seen something of him so early in his career.

I grew up listening to Larry on WLS in Chicago. I had no idea he was in Seattle Prior.

Mark, Lujack was the hot stuff on KJR. He was the nasty, nasty boy. He was my favorite!
What a great picture and fond memory.

I believe that Larry Lujak started his career at KRPL in Moscow, Idaho.
