Blatherwatch has provided endless enjoyment; hard to believe it has been a part of my life for five years already. Long may ye reign!

It's blatherwatch’s 5th blogiversary!
Five years. That’s how long we’ve been blathering about talk radio from a listener’s point of view, larding it bravely with the brilliant political commentary that’s made us a Web sensation and a beam of bright light for all media. We don't usually mention such milestones, but we’re proud of f...
Finally, an explanation for his arrogance...

Peter wiessbach's brutal business plan... part one
(Read Part 2 of this series here.) It’s lunchtime in Factoria, and Top Gun restaurant is serving what made them famous, dim sum. Servers rattle loaded carts around the dining room plying customers with a wide assortment of Chinese delectables such as chicken feet, shrimp dumplings and sticky ri...

I had left KOMO and broadcasting in October of '90, but decided after about an 18-month hiatus to give it another whirl. June 3, 1992 I emerged from a promising interview for a news job at Channel 11, Tacoma, when I flipped the radio on in the car and heard a breaking news bulletin that Hardwick was dead...not just dead, but that he had killed himself. Numb with shock, I retreated to home, and decided that I might not ever want to return to the air. Hardwick's death profoundly affected me. He was phenomenal and to think that the whims of this industry crushed the life out of him was truly sorrowful; such a loss and a waste. Hardwick was and always will be a legendary figure.

Old Seattle Radio Saturday: bob hardwick
Bob Hardwick, who described himself as a "professional smartass," ruled Seattle morning radio for over twenty years. A story dated February 8, 1990 in the Seattle Times chronicled Hardwick when he was hired at KING1090 for what turned out to be his last job. By Kit Boss Robert Hardwick ...
I just read in a Facebook post that Angela Kirby is now only allowed to use her first name on the air so she's just "Angela" now.
