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.
Old Seattle Radio Saturday: jeff boeing, robin mitchell and miss viva la tan
Kolorful KOL, Summer, 1968: Jeff Boeing (left) - real name Dick Haase - borrowed his radio name from a Seattle airplane manufacturer. Robin Mitchell (right) whose real name was Robin Mitchell and still is. The blonde is Miss Viva La Tan. Can't help but wonder: where is Mr. Boeing's left hand?
Comments
I thought you knew Boeing has two right hands. Neither knows what the other is doing, but both wants to be in charge.
I was still in diapers in that year, so what do I know, but the peace signs and beads lead me to believe this was a few years later than the year of 1960
It really could be 1960. The yellow polka dot bikini song was about then and before the hippies messed it up, that was V for victory. The thought of that girl being close to seventy years old now. Hmmmm.
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.

This was on an old KOL survey...it was the 60's...but actually summer 1968.

I'd like to know who was Miss La Tan and where is she now... Let's have a little followup here. This is the problem with MSM... ;-}
