Michelle Larson on KFYI

B

The lady that is Barry Young's sidekick (Michelle Larson) What is her story?
Did she at one time have her own radio show here in Phoenix?

I often hear her bragging about living in N. Scottsdale, is she married to some sugar daddy? or does KFYI pay her some big bucks for those 3 hrs?

She is almost as annoying to listen to as KTAR's Pamela Hughes. (authority on everything)
 
She's divorced from Dr. Joel S. Larson. The best doctor ever! (She used to say a long time ago)

JD Hayworth employed her when he ran for congress.

She worked for KFYI in another capacity before she was on the air.

I'm sure the good Dr. Akbar or someone else may have more details.

She does serve a useful purpose: correcting TNBO when he gets the facts wrong or suffers from a brain fart. Aside from that, the best sidekick on Phoenix radio is..... BABINSKI! All the rest are wannabes.
 
Michelle was BY's off-air producer a number of years ago. He literally called her into the studio one day and asked her to sit in and get on the air. She hasn't left.

BY kinda did the same thing with Kim Kommando many moons ago.
 
She is just an aging debutante who (thank you Akbar) must correct the nearly bald one constantly.

But, does she add anything to the show? No..just another vapid cougar on the air.

Babinski is good, he has to suffer through working for the Kim Carbonite show (and every show, we get Kim doing the same lame-o sound effects and mentioning the "intergalactic bit-bucket" every 30 minutes... ::)
 
side-chick yes women for someone that lacks confidence on the air and needs a yes woman, a yes man and a canned audience to make him try to seem more substantive than he really is.
 
Also, it is like when whyEye put images of Bruce Jacobs and Barry Young on a billboard wearing leather jackets (or photo shopped in) It made them look younger and hipper than they were, so a woman in her 40s would help pull the Barry average demographic down to around 65 or 70?
 
Where is Michelle Larson?

I miss Michelle Larson. She had great chemistry with Barry Young. She is very well spoken and offered balance and class and femininity to the show. She must have gotten fired or they would have announced a vacation or promotion. I hope she is employed somewhere on the radio. I can't find anything out. I have called the station and they won't say what happened. Barry and Babinski are lacking. Babinski is getting to big for his britches. I enjoy BY ego. Not Babinskis! I don't enjoy the show much anymore. I miss her like she was my best friend. Help!
 
The weird part is the silent treatment. Clear Channel canned other on air folks last year, but the other people still talk about them. WLW eliminated their program director that did a Saturday show every week. They scrubbed his name from the web site, yet people mention him all of the time. No details as to why he is gone, but they do acknowledge him. Same company, different rule in Phoenix. Go figure.

Nope, nowhere as annoying as the mid-day pre-school programming on KTAR with whatshername and whatshisname talking down to listeners and lecturing everyone like we're all in diapers. And then once their broadcast day ends at 7pm, we're treated to exactly the same thing all over again by a millionaire who doesn't even live here-! (Thereby making "live local all day" a big fat lie.) I can count with one finger - no, not that finger - the only reason I still bother with 92.3 - Detour Dan. Everything else on the station is downright unlistenable for anyone but the soccer mom demo.
 
What did that link mention? I went to it, but no info available? Just curious.
 
I followed the link, searched on her name, searched on "CR2014-001230", nothing came up.

Anyone who saw the document before it was removed care to summarize?
