Savage gets savaged on flagship station

So, Michael Savage got dropped by his hometown station. Well, it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

Here's what Jon Scott of KNEW in San Francisco (yep, the same guy who also oversees Green 960) has to say on his blog:

Why did you take Michael Savage off the air?"

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.

Perhaps the airwaves are being excised of the paranoid and crazy after all.

UPDATE: Some radio analysts think that Savage is getting canned by his flagship station as a money-saving move. Ironic, in that this recession that has caused radio belt-tightening was started by people who he shook pom-poms for all these years. Karma's a wonderful thing.
