KHOW 630 AM Peter Boyles has been fired by the station
following a "heated physical exchange" with his producer.
"Peter Boyles is no longer with the company," Dan
Mandis, KHOW Program Director said in an emailed statement Monday. "The
KHOW morning show will continue to provide quality news talk programming and
serve our loyal listeners."
Mandis said he could not provide any other information.
A confrontation May 23 with his longtime producer led to the
dismissal. The producer Greg Hollenback
was left with red marks on his neck after Boyles pulled Hollenback’s station ID
lanyard around his neck. (See earlier posting, Click Here.)
The incident happened during the show's morning broadcast of
the Peter Boyles Show.
Hollenback is known on-air as the "Sheik of Cherry
Creek".
Boyles and Hollenback have worked together for about two
decades. It's unclear exactly what led
to the exchange.
Jon Caldera and Ross Kaminsky has been fill-in hosts on Boyles'
morning talk show radio since the incident.
loyal listeners were dedicated because of
ReplyDeletepeter boyles, it is no longer a station of interest to me
you just lost an avid listener and fan. your fill in hosts are terrible
ReplyDeletePeter is an out of the box thinker, who has always pushed the envelope on radio. He's the best since Alan Berg. His thoughtful and sometimes controversial positions are what made his program so special. We as listeners are terribly frustrated that we cannot know what really happened or have a dialog with the best radio guy in Colorado.
ReplyDeletePeter we miss you and your energy to find the real stories behind the many "public faces" of our elected officials. Unfortunately Clear Channel owns the marketplace now and finding alternative voices is hard. KGAB in Cheyenne is not a Clear Channel station. Why don't you do an interview = we listen and would really like to know why you're not on the air.
Channel 9 in Denver has been shown by Peter many times to be a lackey for liberal pols and 9's dislike of him has been obvious. What a coincidence that 9's film crew was in Peter's studio to record this so called physical "dust up."So far as Clear Channel goes "follow the money." I understand Limbaugh is having money negotiation problems with Clear Channel too. Hurry up Peter find a new station so we can be somewhat informed.
ReplyDeleteI've sent the station an email letting them know I'm not listening to KHOW in the morning. Still tune in to Browning now and then.
ReplyDeletePeter made the morning show, he also made Greg Hollenbeck. Like others, I no longer listen to KHOW. I don't know what happened but you lost a lot of loyal listeners.
