KNEW, which was Savage's "flagship station" dropped the righty talker in favor of "John and Ken," who the station manager reliably informs listeners are just as good as "Armstrong and Getty," whatever that means. Here's your no-spin direct answer; we have decided to go in a different philosophical and ideological direction, featuring more contemporary content and more local information. The Savage Nation does not fit into that vision. You can take a look at KNEW's revised lineup, here. As usual, I'll point out that this has nothing to do with the "Fairness Doctrine." The San Francisco Chronicle attempted to reach Savage for comment. It went about as well as you might expect: After we stopped laughing, we called back, noted that Mao is still dead and asked for a call back. Until we get one, we'll be reading our favorite little red book. Don't worry about Michael -- for those of you who are. Not only are his ratings strong across the country, he's already called at least one San Francisco station Thursday, presumably in search for a new home.

Sounds like he's going to have to do what other failed political radio commentators do, and get elected to the Senate.
He's still syndicated it's just that KNEW dropped the show. He originally started with KSFO. God knows THEY could use a new lineup. Limbaugh, Hannity and infomercials seems to be their current theme.

I was just looking for a good excuse to harpoon Al Franken. :)
