The circle is complete- press release from Bonneville:
SEATTLE, WA – Bonneville Seattle announced today an agreement has been reached with FOX News Radio to bring its rapidly growing news product to 770 KTTH, The Truth. FOX News Radio, airing at the top of each hour, will be added to the 770 KTTH weekday programming line-up beginning in May. Along with FOX News, 770 KTTH will add to its weekday line-up “Gibson on Fox” with host John Gibson and “FOX Business Reports” anchored by Neil Cavuto and the rest of the Fox News Business Team.
Sounds fatal!

So this puts the ABC "Entertainment" Network back on KVI?

"rapidly growing news product" is a weird and remarkably creepy way to compliment your new network partner. Sounds like Fox News was caught in a nuclear-plant accident, or fell into a vat of toxic chemicals.
Fox News: "The Blob" of broadcasting!

"Rapidly growing news product" = "make something up out of whole cloth" = to fabricate a story or a lie

One more nail in the coffin of KVI and one less reason to listen. The jocks on KVI make fun of the "liberal" ABC machine on a daily basis -- now their opening their shows with ABC News!
Maybe that's why Rod Arquette stepped down. He just couldn't abide the idea of airing FOX on one of his stations! (I can't wait to spot Dennis Kelly and Rod Arquette panhandling under the viaduct sometime soon.

Just another shakeup at KTTH/KIRO. KOMO is ABC and so it makes sense for KVI. Fox News, that evil purveyor of non-liberal biased journalism - how dare they...(smirk) coming to KTTH. And so it goes.

I like having Fox News at the top of the hour, but I don't like the idea of other Fox programming as part of the deal.

John Gibson is more tolerable than Hannity. Actually, Brian and the Judge would be even better.

Gang, ANYTHING Fox Radio syndicates is better than Lars Larson. Even John Gibson.

Sorry to lose KVI, the station I listened to for my 3-hour commute daily. Even if you don't agree completely, it was still another viewpoint and not some wishy pablum 'music'. I won't be tuning in to KVI any more; sorry to see it change. Will try to get KTTH now. What a nusiance. When a station does this - just cut us off without a care - makes us think how small and unimportant we are to them.
