TOP RATED Author, TV reporter, National radio Host attacked by station

After writing that a work center would be better off spending donated funds on more important needs than buying idols for their building's entrance, award-winning Multi-media man George Knapp was attacked by a local talk station. The station, that features a host who has had drug addiction problems, said: "he (George Knapp) should mind his own business."

Medical and dental needs, clothes, transportation, computers, etc. should be the priority at a work center for mentally challenged folks, according to George Knapp. Idols could be donated by an artist or foundry, not bought with hard to raise donated cash.

The low rated talk station, which did a 2 hour show on how Mexican "Mecha" groups claimed credit for starting the recent California brush fires and claims that WMD was found in Iraq, (no evidence of both claims) used its station manager to attack GEORGE KNAPP, who often does the national radio show "Coast to Coast AM", writes for a number of publications and is seen on top rated TV newscasts doing awarding investigative reports.
 
What is a "TOP RATED author?"

Now take a deep breath and explain what happened in English with names, call signs and explanations.
 
KGO KFI KFYI KOA are top rated....sorry, the station you mention is a pimple on their behind. If they are so top rated, why don't they pay more???? KGO just hired talk show host Gil Gross to do 10 hours a week for a reported $300K a year. The station you mentioned pays less than a Vegas garbage collector makes. Have a nice day.

San Francisco is the #4 radio market in the country. You would expect a major maket like that to pay more than market #33. Las Vegas is similar in size to markets like Kansas City, Milwaukee, Orlando, and Salt Lake NOT LA and SF or even Phoenix and Denver.

KXNT is #8 25-54 (higher in upper demos of course), #6 25-54 mornings and #4 25-54 middays. This isn't bad for a Las Vegas talk station. They are certainly not "low rated" like you said in your original post.
