Lou Dobbs Quits CNN

Lou is now free to join the rest of the angry, aging, screaming boomers in expanding his AM radio talk show. How long before he’s picked up for Fox News Channel? Those porcelain teeth would go to waste if they couldn’t be seen by a national audience.

There are more pleasant things to listen to, such as Greg and Sarah snagging an “A list” guest on their latest FunEmployment Radio Podcast..none other than MEATLOAF!

It seems like so long ago..Remember the balloon boy? Who? See how quickly the news cycle chews up stories and replaces them with fresh outrages? It’s the Heene family led by the the publicity hungry dad who alledgedly concocted the story of his son flying away inside a balloon. Oh yeah, that balloon boy. Look like the parents will plead guilty tomorrow to avoid the mom being deported back to Japan.

Get ready for an apocalyptic holiday season. We begin with 2012 opening tomorrow!

Did anyone watch the pilot for “V’ last night? ABC has gone where no network has gone in quite a long time by investing in an actual filmed drama! It is not a reality show. “V” a modern update of the 1983 (yes, that long ago) TV mini series is surprisingly good. This reporter agrees with the Hollywood Reporter the new “V” is fun and smart.Take a look at this promo trailer.

radio-announcer

I would like to thank all of you for listening to our show on KUFO. Alpha Broadcasting has decided to go in a new direction. Therefore, this reporter, Rick Emerson, Sarah X. Dylan, and Greg Nibler are off the radio for now. I wish Alpha the best, thank them, and especially CBS Radio, its former General Manager Dave McDonald who along with former Program Director Chris Patyk rehired this reporter earlier this year. I am indeed fortunate to be gifted with a terrific audience and the best city one could ask to make his home. You make it all worth it!

Best of luck also to my peeps Cort and Fatboy whose popular program was also canceled today. Here’s their podcast making the announcement HERE.

We’ll continue to update this blog with the news as you like it. There will be additional content, although it can’t replace the Rick Emerson Show. My KUFO email is no longer functioning. Please use: timrileyradio@yahoo.com. Thanks for taking the time to stop by!
