Last week, we noted that KHOW 630 AM talk-show host Peter Boyles remained off the air following an incident with his longtime producer, Greg Hollenbeck, and his future was uncertain.

More than a week later, that's still the case -- and the station isn't talking about his continuing absence either on the air or behind the scenes.

The incident took place at around 8 a.m. on Thursday, May 23, amid a program during which former Congressman Tom Tancredo announced that he's running for governor. (see original posting, Click Here).  A 9News crew was on hand for Tancredo's statement, and the station has reported that after the argument, Hollenbeck was seen with red marks on his neck.

What happened? Sources tell Michael Roberts at westword.com,  that after a high-volume argument, Boyles yanked Hollenbeck toward him by a lanyard, causing the aforementioned red marks. In response to this action, Hollenbeck is said to have thrown his hat at Boyles.

The program continued afterward without further problems -- but the dust-up was reported to KHOW management, with overseers from Clear Channel, the station's corporate owner, getting involved shortly thereafter.

Since then, Boyles has not been heard on KHOW (Click Here for Update posting), and neither he nor Hollenbeck has commented, Likewise, station spokespeople have declined to detail the situation, describing it as a personnel matter.

Jon Caldera continues to fill-in.
