Hi Stephen,

Thank you for the support of Fred's return to the Seattle airwaves on Megatalk. We should begin podcasting by early January.

I would hardly refer to us as "rural folks". I grew up in Seattle and was educated in Tacoma, while the owner of the station is a genuine public figure.

Thanks for listening.

Cheers,
Conn Williamson
General Manager 920 KGTK, 1400 KITZ

Hay Conn,

I meant the service area. It is intriguing to see a high quality guy like Fred on your low penetration station while KIRO is running some pretty weak characters .. esp ion the evenings. Their weekends, ironically are pretty good but he mix od personality less sports, drive time dum and dummer, and a half assed Hannity wanna be is NOTHING ot ocmapre with Fred.

Good LUCK!
