50,000 watts. Major League Baseball. And the ratings are shit. You might ask why? I believe I have the answer. When breaking news (or weather) happens, people are looking for information. People that may never have listened to a station are tuning in wanting to know what’s happening around them. Think back almost 15 years…
There was a regular caller on 700WLW back in the day, so regular we created a jingle for him: “He hates blacks. He hates Jews. Here come some more of his Aryan views. It’s Ken!” Ken reads this blog and while I don’t agree with the majority of his views (few would), I respect him…

The controversy happening with still NBA owner Donald Tokowitz Sterling has focused almost entirely on him and the recording featuring his enlightened views of African-Americans. To be fair there is another voice on that tape. That of Maria Vanessa Perez or as we know her V. Stiviano. Just as Donald Tokowitz Sterling seems to have…
Uh oh. I made the point on a previous blog about how the exclusive NBA owners club had to know about Donald Tokowitz’s Sterling’s progressive views on race relations. His wife since 1955 said she was not a racist. Now the LA Times says she may have spewed a few hateful comments herself. If I…
