Dori Monson is simply an untalented Rush wanna-be, and all those two buffoons Ron and Don need is a few fart jokes to round out their low-brow repertoire.
There is really no reason to listen to KIRO after noon (and they should have kept John Curley in the morning.
Seattle to KFNQ AM 1090 The Fan, "I am NOT one of your FANS!"
Being dead last has it's own distinction We knew it would happen, the transition to be the CBS Sports talker in Seattle which was just shy of a 1.0 share in Nov. before the flip from Progressive Talk, has ended up as a .1 according to Arbitron and Radio Online Yes, at the bottom of the shitter....
Ah, the sound of dead air is so much better than the crap Lee Rodgers spewed. Let us hope that Dori Monson goes that same way quickly.
Lee Rodgers, nee KGO KIRO KSFO dead.
Lee Rodgers, who made a brief appearance on the Seattle airwaves back in 1994, then left after he stunk up the ratings at KIRO following the retirement of Jim French has died after a 13 hour by-pass surgery. His last known radio spot was on San Francisco's KSFO and prior to KIRO, several y...
KIRO's problem is that pathetic wannabe "Fat Man" Dori Monson, who is just primping and preening for a national radio show, but HEY DORI, the boat has left. Conservative Talk is WHORE of talk radio, and Dori doesn't suck quite enough.
It's time to cut Dori loose.
KIRO radio PD quits
KIRO 97.3/KTTH 770 Program Director, Larry Gifford has given notice effective March 1. His email explains the shipwreck that the Bonneville talk cluster in Seattle has become: “As I’ve considered where we are and the road ahead, it has become clear to me that the type of leadershi...
And now all of the gun toting Tea Baggers will crawl out from under their rocks and out of their bunkers and claim that guns don't kill people - "Oh, lunatics will find a way without guns" - like nutters murder 30 people all the time with a hammer...
And now the school murder in Connecticut... Only in America!
Former Entercom employee killed in Portland mall Shooting
From radioink.com Former Entercom employee Steve Forsyth (pictured) was one of the two people killed in a Portland, Oregon, mall by 22-year-old Jacob Tyler Roberts who also killed himself. Mr. Forsyth recently opened a kiosk in the mall which was near the Macy's where the shootings took place....
15 years? Didn't he get CANNED and then brought back?
Marty Riemer says goodbye
from the KMTT website by Marty Riemer , posted Nov 30 2012 5:08PM Fifteen years in any job is a long time, but in radio years that's like 80. So I would like to announce here to you that after 80 years (really just 15) at The Mountain I have decided to move on. December 20th will be my ...
This is all pointless nonsense. The Gays are all very flamboyant ego hogs that like publicity, [b]anything to be the center of attention[/b]. It's just very sad.
Fast Food Furious
Salem Radio host Mike Gallagher and anal leakage As the Chick-fil-A controversy has fired up (the spare parts) of right wing talk by force feeding their hosts complementary product not-ready-for-the-sanitary-sewer-systems out there and the tattooed soccer moms and men dressed in baby clo...
KGO's fall is very sad indeed, I've been a late night listener since my teens (40 or so years ago). It all started with the pedophile priest Bernie Ward...
Karel to be fired again from KGO?
Many of our readers here are/were fans of KGO 810 am in San Francisco, so we are sharing this tid-bit from Rich Lieberman 450: Karel is in hot water over at the insane asylum--better known as the new digs at 55 Hawthorne. No, he hasn't threatened to kill Joe the Plumber., (For which he was fi...
Oh, and if the Oregonian passes into history (print to web never works out well, eventually it simply dies as the PI almost certainly will), it simply means a young nimble LOCAL paper will take its place.
When the Oregonian goes Tits Up, I give it a year - max - before another print paper debuts. Also I predict that the Portland Tribune will start printing (it's currently web) and tak the Oregonian's place.
RIP The Oregonian newspaper?
Looks like another great one might disappear from the corner newsstands in Portland and go digital, just like the Seattle P.I. From Willamette Week: The Oregonian as a daily newspaper is facing a final deadline. The 162-year-old newspaper—once considered one of the nation’s best—is losing reade...
1. Screw Romney and his latest sycophant.
2. The problem with newspapers today is that they are owned by people that think they should, like other corporate blood suckers, have a contently rising profit. The are simply that: a profit source, and it it isn't constantly growing at an aggressive rate, they'll kill it.
But that's just not a sustainable model for newspapers, and news media in general. I some corporate holding company thinks that local newspapers can be a source of huge an contently growing profits, they haven't done their homework and thought it through.
The idea that nobody buys newspapers anymore is simply bunk. It's just that many people NEVER bought newspapers, and at a certain point, readership simply isn't going to grow much and will level out.
Newspapers *ARE* sustainable, they just will never be as profitable as ripping people off with cheap Chinese made junk.

How is it the Yahoo addy was "disabled"?

I really can't wait for Dori to graduate to Fox News and be out of our hair...
Glenn beck: apocalypse now or invest in the future?... and by the way, where's our textile plant?
"God is with me. I fear not!" ~~Glenn Beck at the Temple Mount, Old Jerusalem. Glenn Beck (KTTH m-f 6-9a) bid adieu and hello to New York with a gigantic, fuck-you NY billboard pitching his for-pay, Internet-based network where his new two-hour show will resurface Sept 12. He's gone from Fox ...
Monson always looks like he's holding back a mouth full of vomit.
Dori needs a tagline: let's help!
Dori Monson's (KIROFM m-f,12-3p) tagline is "Looking out for your freedoms," which is not only lame, but a rip-off from his spiritual father, Billo Reilly's "Looking out for you." He told listeners Tuesday he needs a new one. Although we often rip him a new one, we've generously leaped into the...
The man has lost any perspective he might have once had, and fallen off the deep end of nuttiness. Seriously, he needs to seek therapy, he's not living in reality and his behavior is borderline mental. I believe it is possible that he will graduate to stalking and eventually the SPD will become involved.
Cliff mass: it's come to this...
It was a spectacle such as spectacles go on Channel 13's on the 10 o'clock news. There, amongst the murderers in their felony pajamas, the abused pets with their pleading eyes, auto accident scenes wrapped in yellow tape, (and, ironically, a frenetic weather report delivered with eye-popping d...
I've been a talk radio listener for 40 years. I haven't got a clue who Delilah / Rene is. "Superstar"? I think not...
Delilah stalked in her hometown
Dreamy radio superstar Delilah (Rene) has many admirers, and a sometimes they're less than appreciated. According to the Kitsap Sun, a 51-year-old Seattle man was arrested Monday in Port Orchard for allegedly stalking her. Rene's personal assistant last week told the Kitsap County Sheriff'...
JDB: There, They're, Their. You figure it out.
Rushbaugh and Shannity's ratings take a dive
“Right-wing talk radio may have worn out its welcome, at least for now,” reports Crain’s New York Business. Arbitron is reporting that Rush and Sean Hannity's April ratings continued in a dive that started in November after the mid-term elections. Limbaugh took the biggest hit, with a 33% slid...
Let's hope that Dori Monson follows this trend as well. What a vile, bile filled person.

Good Conservative Talk Radio, Chuck? What you have is a bunch of mouth breathers spewing bile for ratings. And speaking of one of your bile spewers, WHO just lost their FoxNews contract?
"They have no home... no phone service... no television. Nothing except the radio."
Old-fashioned terrestrial radio's unique role during and after natural calamities was shown in bold last week in tornado-torn Tuscaloosa, Ala., both on the ground at the site of the disaster, and in Seattle where The Ron & Don Nation unknowingly gave truck-loads... to possible "illegal aliens....

But, as to the general comments about Hedge Funds being money whores, yes. These people have NO interest in radio, and would seek to liquidate Fisher if the value of their physical assets exceeded the value of their stock...
Sharks in the water at fisher corporate
A major Fisher Communications (KOMO TV & radio, Star 101, KVI) shareholder, FrontFour Capital, a hedge fund, has told the company it plans to nominate four new board members at the upcoming shareholders' meeting. According to Radio Ink, the investor, wrote in a letter to Fisher that it had ...
Dori and Jessica, eh? Is there a tasty rumor to go with that?
So Dori is a manly name, eh? Only if you've had a sex change...

BREAKING: 'DORI' IS NOT A GIRL'S NAME!
Or so he says... Jessica Gottesman, KIRO newsie, and new Dori Monson (KIRO m-f, 12-3p) gal-pal, came right out and asked the little man this afternoon: is Dori a girl's name? No, he reportedly said, it's a manly Icelandic name. (photo: Jessica got the sto...
Dave Ross should seriously be thinking of an exit plan. He's the only talker at KIRO worth listening to anymore, which means Bonneville almost certainly has his pink slip already lined up at the ready.
I stopped listening to KIRO last year. The two morons know as Ron and Don could be ignored, but I just couldn't take Dori and his bile-filled ranting anymore. There was a time when Dori was fun, but the rabid hate got old quick, and the move to FM was the last straw for me. I'm *NOT* a hard-core "lib-er-roll", but I just couldn't take the hate.
For talk, I mostly listen to KOMO with some of UW's talk to round things out.
Sphincter-clencher from salt lake city
KIRO staffers must be even more uneasy reading today their parent company in Salt Lake City is cutting The Deseret News staff by nearly half and moving what's left of the paper five blocks away into the cubicle farms at the KSL-TV/KSL Radio and merging newsrooms. (Wow. radio and teevee repor...
