KIRO cancels Erin Hart's show

First it was Allan Prell...then Mike Webb...and now, Erin Hart. Via BlatherWatch:
Another liberal talk host is gone from the Seattle market.

"There is no easy way to say this," KIRO's Erin Hart begins her farewell letter apparently sent out to her email list. She goes on to announce the elimination of her live Saturday & Sunday talk show.

The liberal talk host says the split is amicable and due to "cost-cutting at Entercom." She says several others will be eliminated or will change format.

She will continue, she says, doing fill-in for KIRO and sources say she'll continue to have access to KIRO studios to do her Denver show.

Frank Shiers, (Sat. 7-10p; Sun. 4-7p) apparently is safe. Stay tuned.
Entercom management would be wise to find some new progressive radio hosts to fill in the gaps at KIRO. We have a suggestion for them: how about giving David Goldstein, who writes HorsesAss, his own show? It'd be great radio. It would be entertaining, funny, and informative.
