Michael Savage removed from the Bay Area airwaves.
KNEW 910 ^

Posted on 09/10/2009 4:00:57 PM PDT by Kevin in California

All I can say is this was a bad business decision. I just took KNEW off my preset stations.

Take a look at the comments...it tells the story!

Bye KNEW!

Considering that Levin (KSFO) is beating Savage in that time slot, KNEW had to do something. Since Armstrong and Getty are pretty popular on KNEW, they decided to pick hosts who are similar in style to them to try to go up against Levin.

I don't know. Seems that there is a grudge match going on, with every one of the big boys ignoring Mike and he flaming them.

Don't know how it started. They're all on the same side and they all do good work. They should mend fences.

O'Reilly, Hannity et al seem to have nothing short of disdain for Savage.

He has the feeling toward them. Don't ask me why.

Savage should join Foxnews alongside Bill OReilly, Don Imus, Glenn Beck, and others.

No, he shouldn't. He has a hatred of O'Reilly and he just bashed Beck.

Well the way that Savage diss’d them it’s no wonder they wouldn’t stand up for him ...

He’s a real a-hole in real life. He started at KSFO and everyone there hated his guts.

KNEW sucks it!! I’ve been listening via their Savage podcast for years..it was really convenient and had the commercials edited out..what total sissy pantywaists!! They say they are going in a different “philisophical” direction. LAME!!

Savage is on the same time slot on this station out of Sacramento but now I have to find a way to get it via podcast:

"He’s a real a-hole in real life. He started at KSFO and everyone there hated his guts."

It went well beyond the A-hole level. He purposefully set about to push out a Bay Area conservative legend - Jim Eason. He began persistent attacks and when that didn't give him the traction he began to accost Jim's daughter who was producing his show. Jim retired to North Carolina rather than continue to deal with Savage.

"Savage is not good for the Right."

Savage is a fictional character played (poorly) by Michael Weiner.

He’s divisive towards Levin because Levin is whipping his @$$ in the ratings. I knew when the day came and Levin was going toe to toe with WeinerNation in S.F., he’d go back to selling herbal medicines.

Levin regularly makes fun of Weiner Nation, seems to have a deep disdain for Savage.

That's entirely untrue, let's try not to let our dislike for someone encourage us to 'bear false witness' against them.

Savage has it out primarily for Rush and O'Reilly, less so for Hannity, he never mentioned Levin until Levin got on the air and started attacking him in defense of his butt buddies, Hannity and Rush. He still rarely mentions Levin in relation to the others.

Actually, what happened is when WABC in New York dropped Savage for Levin, Savage got picked up by WOR and claimed he had the top spot in ratings, when he didn’t. Levin was cleaning his clock every ratings period in New York. He even offered $50K if Weiner could prove he was telling the truth.

When I was leaving work my radio dial was tuned to the station which carries Savage and he was blathering away about something to do with him being the only one covering some story - It took me all of about 30 seconds to plug in my Ipod and tune him out. That 30 seconds was more than enough for me.

What were you saying about bearing false witness against someone???

Savage is an acquired taste. He occasionally has some great insights and has taken some good direct legal action/support. His delivery, however, is a real problem most of the time.
