Bryan Styble, former host of "Open Lines for Open Minds," on AM 1310.
This is really sad news, Bryan had a loyal following in the Seattle region, and was taking callers on the 50kW KIRO DA-N skywave from Calgary, AB to Eureka, CA. He calls his experience at KIRO the highlight of his career (link below). In 2006, Bryan was doing 6 nights a week, 1am-5am. I was in Seattle for part of 2006. Bryan's show was very informative and I had many nights with insomnia, avidly listening to his discussions. His callers were the best of just about any news/talk show in Seattle, with many regular callers. Listening to his show and his regular callers was like being around friends. Congratulations, Bryan to your three years at KIRO, and we look forward to your return.

From: Tom's yahoo groups talk radio forum
KIRO-AM has abruptly cancelled popular weekend
local hosts BRYAN STYBLE, CARL JEFFERS, and DAVID
GOLDSTEIN.
This continues a 4 year trend of KIRO-AM and
KTTH-AM local host exits, for a variety of
different reasons, and a gradual diversion away
from local programming, especially of the liberal
persuasion. The exits began in 2004 with Bryan
Maloney and Gary Ryan, followed by Mike Webb,
Erin Hart, Ron Reagan Jr., N.Y. Vinnie, Mike
Brown, and numerous veteran local newscasters
including Val Stoffer and Kevin Ebi.
Commentary: The local liberal host cancellations
at KIRO under Entercom and Bonneville gave
Seattle's Progressive Talk AM 1090 with 50,000W a
great chance to compete in the ultraliberal,
Bohemian market. 1090 has been a genuine
Progressive Talk station success story.
Complete details of the current cancellations at
the Seattle P-I (2/1/08):

Bryan Styble says farewell after four years at
