Seattle's KVI Returning To Conservative Talk

After a 20-month hiatus, Seattle radio station KVI is returning to its conservative roots. Starting tomorrow, it will again become Talk Radio KVI with an on-air diet of conservative talk.

The station’s line-up will begin at 5 a.m. on Tuesday with the familiar voice of John Carlson, 2000 Republican gubernatorial candidate who has lately been heard on KOMO radio. Carlson is a talk radio veteran and onetime communications director for the Washington State Republican Party.

The remainder of the line-up includes Cumulus Media Networks syndicated Mark Levin, Don Imus and Red Eye Radio, TRN’s syndicated Laura Ingraham and Michael Savage, and Compass Media Networks syndicated Lars Larsen and Todd Schnitt.

“This is going to be one of the most hotly contested elections in history and people need a place to hear about it and talk about it:  Get set for an exciting ride,” said Paul Duckworth, programmer with Fisher Broadcasting.
