seattle sports talk: a good question

Radio Guess it's not only us talk fans that yearn for real, 24/7 local radio... this from reader Adam:

I got off work late last night to find that 950am was still "live and local" covering the firing of Jim Mora the way that KOMO does and KIRO wishes it did when we get half an inch of snow.       (Image: Rob Kelly)

How'd it get to the point when the most epic talk radio in months is on KJR with the B-list hosts?

710 ESPN Radio is also live and local to a certain extent.
when i came home on friday, i turned on my radio and heard all about the jim mora firing, listened to interviews from seattle players like Hoosh on the firing, and heard the local hosts bring in both local and national sport commentators/writers to get their input. it was great.

by the way, having espn 710 has made 950 kjr better.

I tuned into KJR a couple of times on Friday. Softy was talking about it as was Groz & Gas. So who was on the air from the b-squad?

I thought KIRO-FM did a good job of covering the Jim Mora story. Between the station and their web site, there was complete coverage on Friday, even to the point of reporting what the LA papers were saying about Carroll being a likely target. Several 'in-the-know' personalities gave their call on it and I found it very interesting and informative. If you combing what you hear on the station with what is being reported on the web site IMO it gives you a rather comprehensive picture of the topic at hand.
But STILL I would recommend that KIRO-FM go back to AM. :)

I,m finding myself tuning in Brock and Salk more and more. Just how much Medved can you take. I feel that Brock has a tremendous potential. Mike Salk is an authority on baseball. I'm to the point of to hell with the way the country is going. Let's play ball. My o My

KJR had Jason Puckett on past 11pm, so I guess that was the B-talent. I like Puckett and makes a decent fill-in.

    • KIRO 710ESPN Seattle 710 KHz
      Games and sports-blabber
    • 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).

      News, traffic, Ken Schram and John Carlson.
