KNEW says it wants to go with more "contemporary" and "local" content... but that sounds like BS. Savage is the third largest syndicated talk radio show in America, so it's very contemporary. Plus, he's always talking about San Francisco - so it's got a strong local content to it as well.

KNEW could be doing this because of Obama's moving in to censor talk radio, or some other caving in to political correctness.
Either way this sucks because KNEW used to give Savage's show for free on the podcast and now it's nowhere to be found.-

So the size of his audience makes it contemporary?

Stephen-johnson: You are one of the few on here that got it correct. Mr. Savage has a unique program, and he is obviously very successful. He is not immune however, to competition. KNEW is a business. Mark Levin is a very talented competitor. KNEW felt they must respond in a competitive ad market in a down economy and made the decision to make a change. This doesn't detract from Mr. Savage, or his talent. I'm certain that Micheal will find another flag ship station.

I love to hear the libs complain about him being "an idiot", etc. The man is known as Dr. Savage. He has a doctorate in botany if I'm not mistaken. (any of you haters have a doctorate?) I also notice that his spot was not given to the latest flash-in-the-pan liberal talk show host. Just listen to one of the rants from a guy called DuckButter: ..". Why would you fire him? Because you finally figured out what a huge mistake you made and you don't like the feeling that everyone thinks you'll do anything for a buck. And you probably also don't like the feeling of having to take a shower after you talk to him." This is obviously a misinformed person who never owned a business, never had a small business course in college, and is in all probability...a government worker. (the money comes in regardless of the economy.) Maybe, he has one of those very important jobs as a community organizer. This should qualify him to run for President!

The hindering of free speech does not come into question when the generation of sponsorship dollars or station image is concerned. It is purely business.

I for one, will not lament the passing of Savage - a very apropos pseudonym for this uncouth loudmouth who even attacks autistic children -

"Savage wound up on KNEW after being unceremoniously dumped by rival San Francisco conservative talker KSFO several years ago... Savage was recently banned from visiting Great Britain for things he has said on his show."

Sounds like the guy has some issues which are more than what you hear on the radio, plus, he's basically a liability at this point.
I could care less... conservative/liberal or republican/democrat. The people listening to ANY talk radio should probably find the proper voice out of the many in their heads and go get their own viewpoint, rather than just listen to what their own little AM "party chairmen" tell them. Then again, we all know about thirsty horses... -

The only reason why I listen to Michael Savage, is because he's not afraid to speak his mind. Sure he's abrasive, arrogant, and, a bit of a bastard, but, again, he's NOT afraid to call it like he sees it, which is incredibly refreshing, and, guess what? When he calls it, he hits the mark most of the time. Plus, he has guests on at times that are ALSO not afraid to tell it like THEY see it, and, they TOO hit the mark most of the time, also.
