I have a feeling that the decision of KNEW to drop Savage came from upper Clear Channel management under pressure from Rush/Hannity  . Savage has been very critical on his show to Clear Channel owned Premier Radios Rush and Hannity. Since these fake freedom of speech champions Rush and Hannity egos could not take the criticisms by Savage they went to upper manangement to get him dropped.

Possibly my favorite post of the year....It's amazing (or not) what people convince themselves of.  Rush and Hannity?Huh Why would they even CARE about Savage??? Get off the Fan bus and check out the real world.  It's about business...and money.

He had dropped from #3 to #23 in the ratings and was costing them a fortune. As Savage himself would say, "end of story."

Then explain why he's on KSTE, another Clear Channel station.  Michael Savage is probably on dozens of CC stations around the U.S.

How about Glen Beck, Savage recently criticized Beck from Fox News and the 12:00pm Talk Show on KNEW-AM.
What was the recent ratings for Beck on KNEW?

Did WOR in New York City and WKIP in Poughkeepsie ever pulled the plug on the "Savage Nation"? I didn't listen to the podcast in quite some time, because it was not available in the podcast section of KNEW's website.

All the issues about Savage's podcast on KNEW came from Savage, and his demands. The station always wanted to furnish all of them and archive them, but Savage fought it tooth and nail. He wants people to go to the network site, so he gets a cut of the money.
