Look like the parents will plead guilty tomorrow to avoid the mom being deported back to Japan.

Peter Carlin writes about the KUFO fiasco in today’s Oregonian. I heard Rick, Cort and Fatboy were on KGW last night, but I don’t know much else about it.

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!
