  BlatherWatch — Authority: 470
  Conservative talk radio was invented in Seattle, now it’s as endangered as the wild Puget Sound salmon. and let’s face it, save Dave Ross, there ain’t no local liberal talk.

• Cop-killing, live and local radio, mike huckabee, and why we can’t wait until the first snow storm

  
  BlatherWatch — Authority: 470
  The cop murders in Lakewood, and the Maurice Clemmons manhunt was like bad weather: made for live and local news talk radio. It’s what radio does best. It gave instantaneous coverage and breaking news talk about a story that really matters to Puget Sound locals. (photo: Mike Huckabee, "killed in the fray.") ...

• KVI’s Peter Weissbach hires illegals, according to report

  
  BlatherWatch — Authority: 470
  It’s one of those tropes you always hear on right-wing talk radio: bust the employers of undocumented workers, and the problem will be solved.   But in a Seattle Times story today, an Obama administration strategy that does just that has backfired on far-right talkhost, KVI Peter Weissbach, 62, (m-f, 5-6p) ...

• KVI, as we know it, is gone: whats next?

  
  BlatherWatch — Authority: 470
  We gotta say it. Kirby Wilbur, despite we disagree with his antediluvian politics, is one of the nicest guys in Seattle radio. He’s a friend of BlatherWatch, though we gave him plenty reasons not to be ( sorry about the crack about the donuts, Kirb ). He wrote a letter of reference for David Goldstein, ( a flaming ...
