Be sure and tune in to the Independence Institute’s public affairs TV show Devil’s Advocate this Friday night. It’s the usual half-hour of public affairs excellence, but in two segments. First I am joined by Colorado State Senator Scott Renfroe (R-Greeley) to discuss his bill to ban red-light cameras in Colorado. Then former Colorado Senate Majority Leader Ken Gordon sits down to give his take on the current state of politics in Colorado. That’s Friday, January 27 at 8:30 p.m. on Colorado Public Television 12. Re-broadcast Monday at 1:30 p.m.

I am Still Here!

Since my late night radio show on 850 KOA ended last week, I’ve been bombarded with the most heart warming messages from fans on my blog, on my Facebook wall (both of them), via Twitter, on YouTube, in person, and through email. It’s sometimes difficult for me to fully understand the kind of impact my radio show and commentary has had on people over the years, so all this outpouring of love from you guys means a whole lot. I cannot thank you enough for your support.

Getting all this love the past week from so many people from all over the country got me thinking: I wonder what someone on the Left thinks about me leaving nightly radio… hmmmm… and then the phone rang. It was Jason Salzman. He wanted some commentary from me on leaving my nightly radio spot for his blog, The Big Media Blog. We chatted for awhile and in no time, I got to read his latest blog post about me. I’m glad he will miss me. And I’m glad he decided to publish some of the best material I gave him. Thanks for giving us the Left’s perspective Jason.

However, I wonder if most people on the Left believe I was “advancing evil” every night like Jason does.

Whether you think my ideas are evil or not, you can still listen to me spew something on the radio on a weekly basis. I have a new time slot, this time on 630 KHOW. That’s right, you didn’t get rid of me yet! I’ll be on KHOW from 5 to 8pm every Sunday, with appearances on both KOA and KHOW as a fill-in host when needed. Which means now I’ve got a regular gig AND I’ll be coming out of the bullpen in relief. And don’t forget about my Public Television channel 12 show, Devils Advocate!

Thanks again to everyone who left me encouraging messages. It means a lot. For those on Left who thought I’d go away quietly. Sorry. I’m still here.

Put the kids to bed a little earlier tonight to catch my TV show Devils Advocate on Colorado Public Television Channel 12. I’ll be chatting with Independence Institute investigative reporter Todd Shepherd and President/CEO of the Colorado Broadcasters Association Justin Sasso on the decline of local voices in our news media. We’ve lost some great local columnists, talk show hosts, radio hosts, editorial writers, and even cartoonists in the past few years. As someone who enjoys the local perspectives, what can we do to mitigate these changes? Tune in tonight to Colorado Public TV, channel 12 at 8:30, repeated the following Monday at 1:30pm.
