Did KBND Kill Their Afternoon News?Did I miss something here? Every day on my commute home, I had been listening to the local news on KBND before switching over to NPR. The last few days, however, when I turn on the radio, I hear that crack-pot Sean Hannity (which I've already made clear they've basically lost me as a listener because of it). But despite what it says on their on-air schedule, it appears they've decided to bulldoze their 5-6PM news hour (or at least part of it -- I'd usually listen between 5:30 and 6:00, as that's when I was generally in the car). Anybody have any idea what's going on? It does mean that they're now broadcasting 10 hours of conservative talk radio between 6AM and midnight, assuming that Hannity has taken over that hour that used to be the afternoon news. I do have an e-mail into them to see what's going on, and will update here accordingly, but I'll be flipping off KBND for good now (other than during Oregon Duck games) if this is the case.

Listening to that crap would make me sick... I used to listen to talk radio here - until they pulled Tom Leykis and replaced it with that blow hard ex-con Liddy who stated that you should shoot federal agents in the crotch on air since there is usually no bullet proof coverage of the crotch area, it's painful and full of blood vessels/veins that would allow the agent to "bleed out". Anyone who spends as much time as he does proclaiming his virility on air probably doesn't have any - as any 14 year old boy will tell you. ...Whew... I guess I'm done ;) Jake said on 01/23/07 @ 11:20 PM: No, their online schedule still says afternoon news between 5 and 6, but I didn't hear that today. Patrick said on 01/24/07 @ 06:15 AM: Hey, You're right. I only glanced at it before. I guess my eyes started glazing over with all those right side names ;) Gretchen said on 01/24/07 @ 08:47 PM: They changed their hour long show to only 30 minutes a few weeks ago. I think it was because there was too much filler crap.
