Professional hater Savage loses another station
Yay!

Savage, the erstwhile hate radio monger has lost his voice on yet another station. I was reading about how the Oakland A's flagship radio station KTRB has filed for BK and will go into receivership. One of the first casualties was Savage. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy, eh?



A's radio flagship goes bust

Susan Slusser, Chronicle Staff Writer
Sunday, September 12, 2010

"The A's struggles to find a stable radio home appeared to take a hit when their flagship station went into receivership at the end of the week.

Trouble for KTRB (860 AM) might wind up benefiting the A's, though. The team has investigated buying its own radio outlet in past years, and KTRB's price at a bank auction is likely to be lower than it would be via a private sale.

...Conservative talk-show host Michael Savage, an odd fit for an "all-sports" station, was among the first casualties when owners Jim and Harry Pappas turned the outfit over to Comerica Bank..."

I'm sure Savage did nothing to keep their ratings up. Hate radio has been dying a rapid death in the Bay Are of late.





Hands off my Social Security!
Hands off Latin America!
