 Michael Savage (San Francisco Chronicle) |
Talk-radio host Michael Savage’s flagship station in San Francisco dropped his top-rated nationally syndicated show from its lineup this morning.
John Scott, program director of KNEW, explained in an e-mail he was “headed in a new direction and a new mind set at this station. Savage does not fit in any longer,” according to the blog Rich Lieberman Report
Listeners in the Bay Area can still hear “The Savage Nation” on KSTE-AM in Sacramento.
Savage is the third most-listened-to talk-radio personality in the nation, according to Talkers magazine.
KNEW will replace his show with a simulcast of “The John and Ken Show” from co-owned KFI-AM in Los Angeles.
Savage moved to KNEW-AM from KSFO-AM in 2003.
As WND reported last week, Savage announced he has been invited by the revered, two-century-old Cambridge Union Society in England to participate in a debate next month.
WND reported Britain’s former home secretary, Jacqui Smith, announced in May that Savage was on a list of banned figures that include Muslim extremists and leaders of hate groups. Savage has threatened a lawsuit if his name is not removed.
