Seven Hours of G. Gordon Liddy a Day on Tape Delay?

Oh Lord, what hath the Valley of the Sun wrought to deserve such a fate?

Apparently, John Dayl is no longer part of the KXAM AM 1310 programming schedule.

KXAM now down to almost zero local programming - there is the radical libertarian revival morning show with Ernest Hancock, but that show has all the feel of brokered programming, even though I do enjoy it. Matt Gerson still has his person-to-person gig Wednesday thru Friday and Radio Cafe with Don Sandler is still on the Friday schedule. But other than that, it's all bargain bin also ran crusty old syndicated talk fare.

Is Gannett going to swallow up the independent Gerson radio franchise like it is rumored to be bidding for Freedom Newspapers, East Valley Tribune owners?

Media mergermania maniacally manifesting...

I wonder if John Dayl ever shot a dog in Mesa yet? Maybe he will now go back to the other microphone for a fourth time he could emerge when Berry Youngs contract runs out.

Just a thought.
