Wow… kvi schlumps towards a new day

6a00d8341bf6cb53ef01157157d09d970c-320wi This shouldn’t really be news- it is, though, but only because it’s so many years late…

With little fanfare, The Bryan Suits Show (KVI m-f, 5-9a) recently started podcasting!

Don’t get excited: the KVI site is still dreck. They’re not hosting Suits’ show: It’s up here on iTunes, and we’re guessing that’s the work of web-savvy producers Jeremy Grater and Kevin Dodrill.

The other live & local show, John Carlson (m-f, 3-6p) is not up on The Pods.

(The site still “interacts” with listeners via quaint 20th century communication: email ‘em, snail ‘em, or give them a call- "It's toll-free!). No comments, no blogs, it’s a one-way, top-down street).

We do more poddin’ these days, especially of right-wing shows that start at 5 ayem…

It's pretty much conventional wisdom that radio will survive- the question is: on which platform or combination of platforms? Podcasting definitely registers in the Top Ten platforms. To ignore it is, well, stoopid.

KIRO leads the leads the pack with a well-traveled site for the KIROs and KTTH.  They require blogging from all the hosts, and with the exception of the redumbdent Ron & Don, (KIRO m-f, 3-7p)  welcome commenters. They long ago hired an ace web guy, James Bottorff who’s made the site arguably one of the best news talk sites in the country.

The fact that KVI is 'schlumping' towards a new day in the world of technology could very well be because of Bryan Suits. Bryan seems impressive in his understanding of computer technology and if he has folks around him with like skills and ability he would make advancements. I look forward to a more 'user-friendly' KVI web site with interfacing capabilities, as I'm now pretty much a lock on 'Suits' in the a.m. (whenever I can) and 'Carlson' in the drive-home time slot.

Agreed, Suits keeps things in perspective pretty well and doesn't lose that much in translation. He is less grating and a drama queen than his talk-radio competition at the same time.

A more user friendly KVI website would be welcome to those who read it - to all 3 of the resident conservatives over here.

Bryan has gotten a bit liberal. Could it be because his producer Jeremy Grater was Mike Webb's long time producer?

Is KVI still broadcasting? Hadn't noticed.

    pacific nw talk stations

    • 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).
    • KOMOAM
      News, traffic, Ken Schram and John Carlson.
    • Washington State Radio Stations
      Comprehensive list of every danged AM & FM station on the dial.
