From AZCentral.com:
"Church spokeswoman Shirley Phelps-Roper told The Republic by phone from its Westboro's Topeka, Kan., headquarters that plans to appear in Arizona have been dropped in exchange for appearances on two conservative radio talk shows, one national and another based in Phoenix.
"If I can use my show to prevent them from disrupting these funerals I view that as positive, even though I find their message reprehensible," said Mike Gallagher, whose national talk show airs on KKNT - 960 AM radio in Phoenix."

"Church officials also have made a deal to appear on KXXT radio's Steve Sanchez show from 8:15 to 9:15 a.m. Saturday in exchange for not picketing the Thursday funeral of 9-year-old shooting victim Christina Green. Sanchez's assistant Lisa Tucker shared e-mails with The Republic showing that the church dropped its plans in exchange for the radio time.
Phelps-Roper said officials dropped plans to picket the other funerals and the school Christina Green had attended after receiving the invitation from Gallagher."

I don't know what will come of their spewage (and you can remove that second letter) on 1010, but Gallagher will offer a counterbalance on his show.
