Savage fell from #3 to #23 in the Bay Area market over the last year or so. Randi Rhodes, Thom Hartmann and local hosts on KGO beat him to death. KNEW can't afford that.
There is more to the story, though. This was his flagship station, which means he depends on their uplink to supply his show to other markets. This firing came very fast and with no notice, leaving him with no way to provide his show to other affiliates for a while. This means KNEW is probably in breach of their Contract, unless there is something else in the mix. They replaced him with an ill-considered, no-name fill-in that they can quickly fire when a better show comes along.
No one in the Bay Area is talking about the rest of the story.
One good bet: He won't be going back to KSFO or KGO any time soon.

Weiner is notoriously tempermental, and flies into rages at perceived 'slights' by management |
