Hope for local talk radio after all

Jocey and I were interviewed on KMJ back in the 80's before the right-wing hate talkers took over the spectrum. Thanks Donovan. Oh the good old days when the Bee owned seemingly everything in Fresno. Then they passed a law saying it was an unfair advantage for one entity to own the major newspaper, a tv station (ch.24) and the main radio station (KMJ). They basically gave the radio station to the right-wingers and left the Bee with only the newspaper. Now newspapers are going out of business.

I was listening with much frustration, as I usually do, to the Alan Autry radio show the other day as Bill McEwen sounded so intelligent compared to the former mayor when I thought, "They should give this guy a radio show. He's way more informed and intellectually honest than these "Obama is a communist" right-wingers".

KYNO 1300am got rid of stone-age Dr. Laura and replaced her with a talk show featuring Bill McEwen from the Bee. Finally some moderation in this boiling sea of intolerance that is talk radio in Fresno.

I was going to put a link to the story by Rick Bentley in today's paper, but again, as usual can't find it at the confusing maze that is the Bee's website.
