Regarding our anticipated new programming lineup on 710 KNUS, I regret that our expected start has been temporarily delayed. We value the fact that you take time to tune in and we can relate to your enthusiasm for our new schedule. We hope to have a more definitive update for you very soon. We hope you will continue to support the programming of 710 KNUS and that we continue to be a favored choice when listening to the radio.

This morning (Monday (07/01/2013) Peter Boyles was supposed to start his new on-air gig at KNUS 710 AM.  However, at the appointed hour, Boyle was nowhere to be heard.

.

Denver Westward spoke with Boyles Momday morning, and he offered no comment. His silence will no doubt fuel speculation that his appearance has been blocked by Clear Channel, owner of KHOW and his previous employer. But the one executive there that we've been able to reach this morning has no answers.

Greg Foster, vice president of programming for Clear Channel's Denver branch, is out of town. Dan Mandis, program director for KHOW offered: "I don't know what happened."

In the meantime, Boyles's name has been removed from the KNUS website, as has that of Steve Kelley, whose Kelley and Company show was set to move to afternoons in order to make room for Boyles.

 Boyles last week said his contract had just expired when he was fired -- and he was told he wouldn't be able to file for unemployment, because Clear Channel would argue that he had been dismissed due to workplace violence.

He admitted to grabbing the lanyard of producer Greg Hollenback during a late May program, resulting in red marks on Hollenback's neck.
