  1. LOL, Mike Kennedy picked a bad time to return to radio AKA
    broadcasting sinking ships as the so called boss. He's being overpaid I'm sure so will probably be cut along with his wife so they can keep Johnny Dare on the air. Have to keep Johnny going as it's the only station that Entercom has in KC making any money.

  2. But dont worry...Sputnik Radio...1140 am and 102.9 FM is state sponsored by the Russians out of Petersburg. They admit it on the program. The station owner and manager Pete Schartel is your classic Useful Idiot. And rest assured, he is getting played to promote their disinformation.

  4. As evidenced by the boring comments above, only Boomers listen to or care about, terrestrial radio. The rest of us moved on from it years ago. OK Boomers?
