Maybe I missed The Post But....KIRO show GONE?

They tried. It almost worked. It was way too "busy." Sounded like a morning show in a medium market.

It was generic. Not special.

Plugging in and moving all those people shows what a deep bench Bonneville has here.

It was the wrong combination with the right people. And not managed well. All 3 were terrific talent.

Now, Aaron Mason is amazingly talented. But they all sound amped-up like they have an IV drip of adderall.

I think it's the management and PD, not the station talent.
 
I tried to listen to that show and wanted to like it, however in actuality there were about 11 minutes of content per hour split between three hosts, CBS News, traffic, weather, and 25 minutes of spots. As stated above, way too busy. I wish the best for the talent.
 
Todd made a Facebook post (January 15 at 3:00 PM) about the end of the show here:

Here is an Update for KIRO Radio

Candy Harper states that she exited the station on January 15. Co-host Mike Lewis wrote that he will be staying at KIRO-FM, but unsure in what role that would entail. Fellow co-host Todd Herman claims that he agreed to step away from the show for an “incredible opportunity”. The trio debuted on January 14, 2019 replacing the long-running Ron & Don Show in the 3-7pm timeslot. Their final show came one year to the day.
