Dr. Laura has been added to the weekly lineup over at 770 KTTH, Seattle’s right-wing radio outragelet. Laura will rant five nights a week. From the press release: “The addition of ‘Dr. Laura’ to the KTTH lineup firmly establishes 770 AM as the dominant conservative talk station on Western Washington,” said Rod Arquette, Bonneville Seattle Program Director. “We now have four of the top five nationally syndicated talk show hosts in the county on this radio station. It gives us a very powerful lineup everyday.”
Here’s the hellish lineup:
The Glenn Beck Show: 6am-9am
The Rush Limbaugh Show: 9am-12noon
The Michael Medved Show: 12noon-3pm
The David Boze Show: 3pm-6pm
The Michael Savage Show: 6pm-9pm
Dr. Laura: 9pm — 12mid
KTTH and KIRO are owned by Bonneville International, “an award-winning, dynamic media company… known industry-wide for [its] values-oriented programming.” Bonneville, according to its Wiki page, is “wholly owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.” So we have Magic Underpants, Inc., to thank for inflicting Dr. Laura—along with Beck, Michael Savage, Rush, and the rest of these ranters—on our local airwaves.
I first became aware of Dr. Laura at age 7, when she advised my best friend’s mom to get back together with her abusive husband because “he’s trying.”
I have hated Dr. Laura ever since.
@53:
No, Dr. Laura would have never advised that. If your friend’s mom actually told Dr. Laura she was being abused, Dr. Laura would have been the first one to tell her to pack up the kids and go to a battered woman’s shelter. If you have been listening to her show here and there, as I do, then you would know that.
If your friend’s Mom was saying that he was a jerk, or whatever, then that’s not “abuse.”
@52 – she wasn’t always that famous – and try reading what I said.
She’s still a dick.
Dear raindrop:
Just because you wish it was true doesn’t mean it’s true.

Dear Dwight, I’m not wishing anything.
Do we know what’s true in that call? No. Has Dr. L established a pattern in handling callers? Yes. Would she actually advise someone to stay in an abusive situation?
Draw your own damn conclusions.
Who cares about KTTH? They’ve been stupid and irrelevant for years. What I want to know is, WHERE’S RANDI RHODES?
COMTE, we all know Dan likes Cox.
Trolls just waiting to pounce today, huh? Hanging around slog waiting for fresh meat to drop. I’m with the above who said I miss the day without dicks, so to speak
will@55, irrelevant non-sequitur much? yuh got owned there @52. suck it.
I think you should call Michael Savage his real name—Michael Weiner! LOL
I am thrilled to be back on in Seattle – and on a prestigious station.! I look forward to the wonderful callers and profound subject issues they’ve always brought to the table. Thank you to those folks who had nice things to say about me; and to those of you who didn’t have nice things to say about me, “You’re welcome.”
warmly, Dr. Laura Schlessinger
Face it, if Dan Savage was on after her, he’d pull down double the listeners.
“Hellish lineup”?
I’d say they’re off to a very good start with Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh. (I admit things really go downhill when they reach Michael Savage — oh, well.)
As for calling Beck, Limbaugh and the rest “ranters,” what the hell do you think you are?
BOO!! TERRIBLE LINEUP!!
If you don’t like the shows on KTTH, don’t listen. Just like I don’t agree with your newspaper, so I don’t pick it up. I came across this because I was trying to find out if Dr. Laura could be heard on any station in the Seattle area. I for one missed her show and I’m glad I can listen to her show again. That’s what is what is great about this Country, we have the freedom to listen to and read what we want. I swear if some of you couldn’t use foul language, you would have no vocabulary!
