Let's see... Kirby can't speak, but Suits can a little better. Kirby's ratings had been slipping as a lead in for Limbaugh since the loss of Limbaugh to the other right-wing talker. Wilbur was way overpaid for someone lacking any talent.. Suits is probably working for one fourth of what Wilbur was being paid. Seems pretty clear to me!
In the end though, it doesn't really matter who KVI sticks on that station. The reign of AM is winding down at an increasing rate with nobody listening under 55. That's the facts, no matter what your political leaning.
I kinda liked the way you illustrated this Guru,
First, here's Kirby Wilbur, a guy who's been here a while and has a house (probably a nice one in Republican Acres - east of Seattle, of course....) and a household to feed who's just lost his job. And here's Bryan Suits, a guy who, as you suggest "is probably working for one fourth of what Wilbur was being paid."
Poor Bryan Suits....is he going to shack up in some Rainer Valley housing project? Have you SEEN the housing prices up here? It's not easy to pay that much and still be a Republican, y'know
But political joshing aside, I think AM has a future in the VERY local radio/hobbyist/Part 15er underground. I say if you're going to have AM, then make it some SERIOUSLY MODULATED AMPLITUDE!!! And just have FUN with it.....
