Who knows if Entercom will bring him back (is KISW owned by a diff. company?
Think so...) He used to work for WRKO in Boston (now owned by Entercom but I
think they had different owners in '93/'94 when he was there) and was caught
mistaking his wife for a Duraflame log one night at their Back Bay townhouse.
One spousal abuse course later, he was on his way to LA to go nationwide. By the
way wasn't it in the Emerald City where some angry fans beat him up last yr?

>>Controversial talk show host, Tom Leykis, was assaulted outside a Seattle bar early Monday by agitated radio listeners. According to the online edition of The Seattle Times, a witness reported two men were involved in the incident:
"...One of the men said to Leykis, "I called your show once and you called me" a name. "You had no right to do that." Then a man standing to Leykis' left kicked him in the face. The blow knocked him to his knees, leaving his right knee scraped and bruised."
MercuryNews.com says Leykis suffered "...a scraped knee, black eye and a cut above the eye for which he received 17 stitches."
Leykis, whose program is normally syndicated out of Los Angeles, was in Seattle to do his show from affiliate, KQBZ-FM.>>

Met Tom at a shopping center appearance--seemed like an OK guy, then mere weeks
later came the news that he threatened to kill his wife Susan and shoved her
into the fireplace. Oh well.
