770 KKOB-AM

Was my favorite station in the USA until they dumped Savage and promoted dumb @$$ Mark Levin. Since then I have dumped KKOB. Must be run by a retard.

This station proclaims itself «New Mexico’s talk monster» and well, I suppose it is. The wattage is heavy enough to hit virtually every corner of the state and considering we’re the fifth biggest state in the Union, that’s pretty impressive. They also essentially own the bragging rights for the longest-​running station around here; as Herman Cain would say, «I don’t have facts to back this up» but they gotta beat out KUNM.
I love how reviews sometimes write themselves. The best way to describe the programing on KKOB, the network stuff, at least, is to say that they don’t have facts to back anything up. Loaded with the gamut of middle-​aged angry white conservatives (Hannity, Rush, Michael Savage), you’re going to get the same ‘ol corporate misinformation pumped into your noggin’ for hours on end, endlessly. Scott Stiegler is a pretty solid local afternoon host, the show isn’t my cup of tea but I generally like the dude, especially compared to his whiny, tired predecessor.
The value of this station, aside from it being the place to turn to for traffic, weather and news updates, is the weekend programming. Again, there’s plenty of Obama bashing if you can’t get enough during the week, but there’s also some incredibly valuable content with local experts in medicine, gardening, computing and information on what’s happening around town.
It deeply saddens me to imagine that my Saturdays will ever be the same without Terrie Q. Sayre, who was not only a trusted companion to a huge ABQ community but also someone I considered a dear friend, and I hardly knew her. Her smile and positive outlook on this city, and now her departure, have left a chasm of white noise on the radio dial, and it’s hard to imagine we’ll ever find another personality quite like hers. I may have disagreed with some of her political views, but that’s what life’s all about. Her heart was enormous and more genuine than most I’ve ever met. May she rest in peace and enjoy puppy dog heaven, ad infinitum.
