I listen to Crazy Kuhner for pure amusement. Beyond being a legend in his own mind, I think the guy is seriously delusional. During the Presidential campaign he regularly told guests The Kuhner Report was the highest rated political talk show in all of New England.
Krazy K000nah has a whole list of things he's delusional over. At one point I recall him claiming his "rallies" where singularly responsible for getting Justina Pelletier released from captivity at Boston Children's Hospital.
And, never forget how "Trump's people" are always "listening to the show" for K00000nah's sage political advice. (Despite the fact that, other than 1 time early on during the campaign, Trump has never appeared on K0000nah's show, nor had K0000nah ever been invited to fly on Trump's plane, like Howie has, etc... but, I digress...)
Oh, and how can we forget a few years ago, every other day he was on the air about some "scandal" of Obama and how "This...THIS is the one they HAVE to impeach him over"!
If he were such a sage political commentator than he'd know impeachment is a political action, and there was simply no way Congress was going to impeach Obama. On the other hand, I *could* see Congress impeaching Trump to get Pence (a creature of 'the swamp' himself) in there to make it easier to work with the executive branch.
After he was moved from mornings he took congratulatory calls for weeks about his new nationally syndicated program.
lol. the lemmings really lapped that one up. I recall all the promo spots he was playing with callers congratulating him on his "going national"... as soon as the ratings were "up", of course.
John DePetro, recently of WPRO now on WADK, has more affiliate stations than K000nah. JD has branched out now to an hour of simulcast on WNRI in the 1pm hour, which gets him some coverage in the lower end of metrowest, if propagation charts are at all accurate. K00000nah? still waiting on that first affiliate station lol.
He can't get a paper to publish his columns that he posts on the RKO website. He begs listeners to email them around.
lol yup.
Google "The Edmund Burke Institute for American Renewal" for a laugh.
last week he declared that he would be getting the names of texters to his show so his lawyer to sue them for liable and slander. Good luck with that.
lol caught that too. Can't wait to read the legal brief on that one. Is it "libel" because texts are "written" on the computer screen, or "slander" because a texter used siri to dictate it?
Sad thing is, I truthfully think Kuhner could be an excellent political analyst/commentator. Just like a blind squirrel who will, on occasion, find a nut, Kuhner does periodically have a good 12 o'clock monologue. I do not know why he insists on catering to the "low brow" crowd with the drama-queen antics, "alahalhlahalalhallahalhalhalhalahhalalahalhala" voices, and so on. He really could learn a thing or two if he listened to Mike Siegel, who RKO uses as a sub from time to time when K0000nah is off for whatever reason. I guess I need to start paying attention to who is advertising on his program, that will tell me what the demographics of his listening audience are. Maybe they all do have a 7th grade education.
I switch him off now at 1pm and listen to DePetro for 4 hours. I've listened to JD for virtually his entire career in local broadcasting. Granted, his show tends to focus more on Rhodyland topics, but I live close enough to Rhodyland that I'm more in tune with what's happening there than what's happening on Bacon Hill or MetroWest.
That's not what his audience wants to hear from him. Check out the Facebook and Twitter reactions to the Adam Jones incident. They range from denial that it ever happened, to cries of reverse racism, the obnoxious "Suck it up, buttercup" admonitions, and even accusations that the fan(s) involved were part of a liberal-based Black Lives Matter-supporting "false flag" operation! This isn't a crowd looking for decency or reasonableness.
Personally I've thought most of the reactions of the Adam Jones incident were overreactions. Unfortunately, what you seem to get at sporting events are a high percentage drunk imbeciles. A certain percentage of those are going to be drunk racist imbeciles. More liberal hosts were spinning the idiotic actions of a few into a whole "Boston is a racist city" narrative. I've never equated throwing peanuts at someone as a racist act, as some have claimed, although I think everyone universally agrees it is a completely unacceptable action. Some people in today's "professional victim" society now go around looking for "racism" under every rock, when most of the time, imbeciles are simply imbeciles.
Given that Barry's own The financial Exchange was suffering the same fate today as Howie has been, I'm guessing the AoIP link at the 'RKO end is faulty.
Yesterday or day before Howie's show had dead air on RKO. I switched to 1420 out of New Bedford thinking "enteracom happens" and 1420 had dead air too, so my take on it was the problem was at the studio end. He then came back mid-sentence, so maybe Grace accidentally flipped a switch on the console when she was lining up for a photo shoot.
