This is your chance to vote for your favorite daily political radio show and tell us why they have the political news and talk in Arizona. (And if we’ve forgotten someone, please let us know!)
(The poll will remain open for one week and limits voting to one vote/IP address.)
Bruce St. James
The Bruce St. James Show.
Jon Justice!
Jon Justice of course!
I would bet the 100 most influential people in AZ listen to none of these radio shows.
Jon Justice all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Without a doubt – Jon Justice
JD Hayworth and Bruce Jacobs, since they are gone I never listen to kfyi. I can stream Rush.
What?! Why isn’t the Alexander & Goldman Show listed?!
Broomhead!!
Clair Van Steenwyk cusses on a christian radio station. He lies about people and carries the water for the godless.
Jack, don’t you have more important things to do than attack your constituents?! How you continue to get elected is beyond me.
Now that the poll is closed I believe I’ll reply to this individual, I certainly have used some of the same words that I actually have found in the Bible. Now as for lying well I suppose that depends on whether you know the Truth when you see it or prefer to defend bad positions and actions you’ve committed. Now as for carrying water well I believe this particular elected official who’s making this comment is referring to my interview and support of another elected official this is what our program is about giving people a forum to speak when most other programs in the valley don’t and he’s been on the show as well and didn’t complain then so I’ll leave it at that. It’s nice to know that he watches us so closely hopefully he may wake up and really begin to serve all our interests soon. God Bless You All; Van the Radio Man
Is the Barry Young here the same Barry Young who used to get whaled on by Jack Cole at WJNO in West Palm Beach? If so, sure as hell not Barry Young.
WORLD HEADQUARTERS FOREVER!!!
I can’t stand Barry either- he must have his family voting for him to even have that many votes. The guy is a RINO and only has the show because he owns the poor radio station.
Chis De Simone and Joe Higgins, wake up tucson. Jon Justice is good, sometimes beats dead horses, and Mike Broomhead in Phoenix is very thorough. So,,,, hate to say it cause I want someone from Tucson to win, but Broomhead does the better job of the three.
Jon Justice—-
Main Street Out Loud on KKNT 960AM. Rudi K educates, has timely, provocative topics, notable guests and is truly intelligent, award winning talk-show and the programs are not focused on him!
Broomhead!
Have you tried calling in to Barry Young Toddler’s show? or Jon Justice’s show? If the call screener deems your question or comment to be too deep or just plain doesn’t like the sound of your voice, you get bounced, or just put on hold till Tucson freezes over. At least J.D. Hayworth was willing to talk to everyone. He recognized it as a way to educate all of us, and maybe even change a mind or heart. If you want to give your opinion regarding anything KFYI—-here’s the email address of the program manager:
smokeyrivers@clearchannel.com Good luck with that—they have been co-opted by John McCain, et al.
Show your dismay or disgust by calling, writing, or emailing the station program managers.
MAIN STREET OUT LOUD with host Rudi K…. If you haven’t listened to this show yet, you need to be listening next Saturday at 3:00 pm (till 5:00 pm) on KKNT (960AM). It is insightful, with up to date info, and you can actually get in to speak to the host on air.
I vote for Rudi K of Main Street Out Loud KKNT
Mike Broomhead!
Van “The Man” gets my vote.
Hi Liz; I want to personally thank you and all the others who took the time to Vote for us as well as others in this poll and hopefully this will cause the so called mainstream media to pay more attention to what really matters to most of us in Az. God Bless You All; Van the Radio Man
Jon justice
Crossroads with Van!
Hi Abdul; I want to thank you for both your support and taking the time to give it to us. God Bless You; van the radio man
