Westwood One syndicated talker Michael Savage has announced he will end his radio show at the end of the year, but continue hosting his daily podcast.
The 78 year old Savage told listeners to his podcast today, “Come January, you’re only going to hear me on my podcast. You will not hear me on this radio station anymore as of January.” He later added, ““I cannot give you the reasons. I am constrained for legal reasons. You will no longer hear Michael Savage on radio anywhere in America.”
Savage began his radio career on 810 KGO San Francisco as a fill-in host in 1994. The following year he moved to afternoons on 560 KSFO, which would be syndicated by Talk Radio Network in 1999. He would move the show to Cumulus Media in 2012, while changing live timeslots from 6-9pm eastern to 3-6pm in January 2014. At the start of 2019 he switched to a one hour per day radio show followed by one hour podcast. Westwood One will continue to distribute the Michael Savage Podcast.
The MAGA generation is aging and retiring.
Borders, language, culture, buy my books,
I’ll be right back
“Too many Chris Wallace types took over
radio—only vanilla permitted”
Years ago I heard Hannity poke fun at
Savage, calling his show Weiner Nation.
Weiner his real last name
He’s getting kind of cranky. I still listen to him where the signal comes in but I guess when he leaves the air then that’ll be it.
Ii remember him having a (very) short-lived television show on MSLSD, believe it or not. I distinctly remember him on set with a bunch of teddy brears.
Yes he has to be in his 70s. At some point you want to retire. He still might do other things to keep himself visible.
Oh yeah. That was right after 9/11. Right?
78 years old I believe
Yes he told a caller “oh, you’re one of
those sodomites—you should get AIDS
and die” or something.
Jeff Kuhner on Boston’s WRKO may have
been hired by them after filling in for
Savage (Kuhner popular in Boston but
thus far unable to get his show
syndicated)
I remember a long time ago Glenn Beck filled in for him on the radio. He was hilarious.
Savage was a mixed bag, but overall I loved his spirit and his refusal to back down to leftist reprobates.
Getting?
?
Apparently you’re not familiar with the 6 YOs getting abused for wearing MAGA attire.
I think so. It was way back, that I remember.
Back when joe scarborough used to be sane. He also had a show on MSLSD IIRC.
What in god’s holy name does your reply have to do with aging MAGA supporters?
I believe he’s saying kids are wearing MAGA hats, not just old folks, so maybe there’s another MAGA generation up and coming. Yes, God’s name is indeed holy.
Well... you qualified the MAGA generation as one that’s effectively over.
Thanks for your interpretation, but the thread is about a MAGA supporting, 78 y/o radio host who is retiring.
I said many are aging & retiring, not that MAGA is over, but I do enjoy your leap into a ditch.
