How can you say they DESERVE a place on the dial ANYWHERE!!! The only reason why they are even on the air in STL is because NO other market will have them. Is STL that racist and narrow-minded that they would want Steve and DC? Stupid question, of course they are!!! At least Denver had the good sense to get rid of them when they found out about the comments that they made. I don't care if it was thirteen years ago.
