KVI censorship bump
1 - " An alert engineer used the station's seven-second delay to mute the offending words. "
I think this is far more common than most conservatives realize.
Locally here, some liberal engineer is constantly censoring broadcasting of conservative talk radio, with weather alerts blocking out things liberals would hate. There is static, drop outs, and the 'tests' for radio in case of nuclear attack - all a peculiar times, right in the middle of particularly anti-liberal points.
It is amazing, and I have called our stations, many times, complaining, but little happens to correct it.
LOL, they are probably afraid that the uninformed viewers they have will take this information and switch to Brit :-)

Yes, I guessed that and it was confirmed later when Rush replayed the clip... Losing Rush sits heavily on KVI's heart still, and mine too. I suppose they didn't want a lot of people turning the dial back over, can't blame them for that. At any rate, KVI is the one that carried the President's speech - NOT KTTH. Thanks for broadcasting the speech, Kirby!
Mention Bubba Booie and see if you get beeped.
John Carlson is talking about it today, June 21. KVI web site issues apology.
KVI Radio Issues Apology
Decision to edit President’s comments about Rush Limbaugh was mistake
"It’s not easy admitting that you’re wrong," says KVI Talk Radio 570 Program Director Paul Duckworth, "but we blew it!"
Duckworth’s comments come following a decision to delete a reference to Rush Limbaugh during a recent speech by President Bush at McDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida.
Duckworth explains that the engineer on duty at the time of the speech had just a few seconds to make a decision about whether to air or eliminate the comment. In the heat of the moment, he decided to dump it. "It’s certainly not part of any orchestrated strategy or policy," says Duckworth. "The individual who made the decision is a terrific employee. He simply made an error in judgment. We all agree that it won’t happen again"
The KVI program director admits that his recent comments to the Seattle media did little to help the situation. "I think that I tried to justify the unjustifiable," says Duckworth, "we’ve all learned an important lesson."
You don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with RUSH, da, do, da, do...

"KTTH mentions Kirby Wilbur, the morning guy on KVI, all the time.
I'd switch from KVI to KTTH completely if it wasn't for Kirby, John Carlson in the afternoons and Tony Snow at nights. they also use FOX News while KTTH uses ABC (icky)."
That's exactly what I do! Gotta have Rush every morning on KTTH, then Medved (no Hannitty), got tired of windbag O'Reilly on KTTH, tuned back in to John on KVI, found out that Tony was on after him, and now no longer listen to Savage. Can't stand ABC news, either!
Mama
I mentioned it before, but the ABC feed of the Reagan funeral was sans commercial breaks. Limbaugh's CC station went to the hard half-hour breaks.
Some radio stations are starting to pay the price for their crummy practices:
