    KWTH? Two years ago,…read moreI reviewed KBSG http://www.yelp.com/biz/kbsg-oldies-97-3-fm-seattle#hrid:LLMfHS8QC6WjZAUUGIg8dg/query:kbsg . I listened to that station more than any others while driving but I turned it on the other day and it is now a "news talk" radio station. KIRO to be exact. I Googled KBSG to find out what became of my beloved station and found an "Explanation" by the Vice President and Market Manager of Bonneville Seattle. http://www.mynorthwest.com/?nid=106 . He, or whoever wrote that explanation said: "We know there are a significant number of radio listeners who use FM on a daily basis, but may visit the AM dial only sporadically. In addition, we also know that as the music radio landscape has become more and more fragmented, it's clear that there will be a limited available audience for KBSG's music programming." I said, in a feedback email to him: "With all due respect, I believe you are in error and are missing the point here. People listen to AM radio "only sporadically" because it is full of mostly news-talk radio. They listen to FM radio because that's where the music is. If there was anything wrong with KBSG as a music station, it was only that the owners didn't have the foresight to take it to the obvious next level and expand the play list to include both the 50s and 60s. That, and have more tunes in general instead of the same play list over and over and over again. There are still a lot of people who remember the 50s. Another thing I believe is being overlooked here is there are places of business in this area who had KBSG's music going 8 to 10 hours a day without fail. Now they've had to turn to KJR FM, which I predict will now do better than ever. I can only guess that the information that led to this programming change is as incomplete as most news stories and will result in KBSG being just another place for incomplete news stories and for the illinformed to whine. The same old song and dance without songs and dancing." Bonneville International is a Salt Lake City base company and I doubt they know too much about the demographic here. All I've got to say to them is, leave your news-talk radio on the AM dial where it belongs and stop trying to pollute good FM music radio with it! If you are as ticked off about this programming change as I am, I encourage you to click on the above link and send Carl Gardner a comment on how you feel about it.

    I have listened to this station for years but am at a point where I have a hard time listening…read moreanymore, Evan Dave Ross has jumped the shark, maybe because he now has a partner who he feels the need to keep happy. Then after them you have the Free and Ursula show with Chef ( probably a cook, not a Chef) all they talk about is White rich people are bad for creating jobs for people who then pay taxes and buy stuff at local stores(sales tax)so local government can piss away with NO accountability, Free (Gee) thinks if you just pay everyone 25-30 per hour that would be the answer, maybe a semester of basic economics would be good for Mr Free. I can't believe Dori Monson is gone, RIP Dori, but could the radio station at least find someone with the same political position as him as a replacement? Other than Brandi who may not want the job full time,the time slot has been filled with left wing woke jokes Spike and Jack Stine who think they are so superior and have the answers to everything, as long as it's what they think should happen. John and Sherry are fun to listen to but after that forget about it, can't listen to that drivel. Thanks

    I used to like listening to KIRO because I heard a range of opinions. Now it is the same old…read moremessage over and over again. "The government is the answer to all your problems and you should be ashamed of yourself if you don't parrot our view." When Dori died I was afraid KIRO would just go to the same talent pool of liberal idealists to fill his slot. My fears were justified when I turned on the radio the other day and found out that spike was now the host. Ughhhh, can't stand to listen to his well practiced sincerity oozing out of the radio. He sounds like he is trying too hard to convince everyone he is a thoughtful person but it just doesn't come across as real. The good news is now I have freed up a memory spot on my radio and filled it with another music channel. Thanks KIRO for helping me out on that.
