This is big enough for me to break out the ping list I don't use any more.

KTRH is the sister staion to KPRC, Ken Charles manages them both.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAA...this is what I have been waiting to hear. Lets hope this is just a beginning. I am 69 and not capable of getting big things done, however, I do keep up with my Freepers and I KNOW you can get it done. I appreciate so much I have you to keep me informed.

I wonder if CBS will dock Blather's pay.

It will be interesting to see if this stands. KPRC is a Clear Channel station. If CBS starts exerting pressure on Clear Channel, CC's corporate goons may overrule the local station manager.

I guess he got the message...'Houston we have a problem'...and did something about it!

Dan Patrick (not the ESPN guy but rather the luvyablue clown that never got over being canned from his TV gig) would make PT Barnum cringe. Not saying it's a bad thing, just saying.

.......yes, that's true......Rather was a young reporter with KPRC in the 60s and made his mark by getting out in the middle of Hurricane Carla and giving a live report.....the legend has it that he climbed up into the cupola in the Galveston post office and described the storm swirling around him.

I heard Ken Charles and Chris Baker discussing this and was pretty happy they made the right choice.

Cool

My Mom listens to 950 all the time. She has been asking the same question all week. Why is Ken Charles keeping C=BS on the air. She got her answer.

That is the kind of action that will make Viacom take notice--especially if more affiliates (radio and TV) follow.

Viacom/CBS are stonewalling, hoping this issue will go away. It isn't going to.

"Made the big time while covering another hurricane, Carla"


He showed a camera shot of the radar pic of Carla. Legend has it, it was the first time that was done

Excellent suggestion! They already have FNC at the bottom of the hour. Now I'd like to see Dan Patrick dump O'Reilly from KSEV.

Rather's most recent biased foolishness provides station managers with an excellent reason to drop a bad program. I'm watching Rather now, and he sucks.

Is he always this bad?
