I started posting on HowieinSeattle in 11/04, following progressive American politics in the spirit of Howard Dean's effort to "Take Our Country Back." I decided to follow my heart and posted on seattleforbarackobama from 2/07 to 11/08.--"Howie Martin is the Abe Linkin' of progressive Seattle."--Michael Hood.
Michael Hood:
You probably forgot just who Jim Trapp is. Not us, though!
Trapp is the CBS Radio middle management hack who is probably the most responsible for the utter failure of 1090AM KPTK, the only progressive radio station in deep blue Seattle. It's ratings drag along the bottom at around .08% of market share, and never has done much better.
He was PD there, and according to some who worked for him, not only never liked progressive talk, but never really liked talk radio. Great hire for the ham-handed CBS Radio, eh? (not untypical, we might add) MORE...

(photo: Steve Scher, Facebook)"Scher and his producer [Katy Sewall] never seemed to care or consider the listeners." Thus spake Cliff Mass, insuring that he'll never appear on KUOW again.(Unless host Steve Scher keels over or something. Frankly, he looks pretty healthy).
Mass got all pissy in a piece in... of all places, The Stranger!
Not that we don't love The Stranger and all it stands for, it's just that airing KUOW's dirty drawers there, of all places, is a little untoward for public radio- the last place KUOW would want this all to be kicked around. MORE...
