Since the Roy Masters program has been on KDWN forever under the old regime and now Beasley. Big money for that timeslot. The Masters family runs TRN and many years ago persuaded KDWN to pick up Savage nation in its early days in sindication. Along with Jerry Doyle coming from KDWN studios I would not be surprised with the bad breakup with Savage and TRN if other than losing 3 hours of brokered programing KDWN did not pickup Savage out of respect for the Masters clan and the money from them that has been rolling their way for decades.

SPECULATION WHY KDWN DID NOT PICK UP SAVAGE NATION
- Thread starter jk111
- Start date
Having to give up 3 hours of brokered programming is probably the main reason.
Beasley may not care that much about Masters long association with KDWN before they bought the station. And it goes back farther than KDWN. The first station to run Roy Masters back in the 60s was KTYM in Los Angeles, which was owned by the same guy who put KDWN on the air.

I don't believe he was pulling good numbers as of late.
Savage was said to have been beating Mark Lavine, but he was moved to 9 pm on kxnt. Since the talk radio ratings stink, I guess it is go for the money. Someone on the SF Board claimed that the Roy Master's businesses up in So Oregon were king of "cult-like" I wonder if TRN is difficult to deal with?? Of course Savage is probably hard to get along with.
the guy of the SF board said they call the Roy Masters business people "Roybots" in So Oregon, guess they have lots of different businesses hiring people that had addiction problems in the past.
