"America's Radio News Network" by the way is a nationally syndicated outfit produced by...(drum roll) THE WASHINGTON TIMES!!!! Yep that wingnut publication.

Hmm. I go to the ARNN website and see that its interview guests range from the left (Gavin Newsom, Ralph Nader (!!! when do you hear HIM on mainstream corporate radio???), and Charles Rangel) to the right (Jason Mattera, Republican members of Congress, etc.)

KYNS still has the one local host, Bill Benica. Is he liberal, moderate, or conservative?

At least KGO up in the bay area replaced all its talk shows has locally produced news rather than some propaganda written by Republicans while still keeping Ronn Owens's show.

As for KYNS format change it seems more political than cost-cutting, as I don't think carrying ARNN hours on end would be more expensive than carrying Stephanie, Thom, etc.
