media bytes for wednesday, march 5, 2008

Welcome to SDRadio for Wednesday, March 5, 2008. This report in ((stereo)) where available.

Mark Larson and the GOVERNATOR: San Diego 1700’s Mark Larson was invited to Sacramento for a private meeting with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Word is that the California leader wants to know what conservatives are thinking about state issues. The chat took place in Arnold’s famous ’smoking tent’ (where most of the real deals get made). No word if Mark received a famed cigar as a souvenir.

101.5 KGB’s Bobbie Hill writes about the dismissal of John Q. Lawrence for KyXy. “The man who gave a young woman with no previous on air experience a chance on the air in America’s Finest City was John Q. Lawrence. I was that “intern” 14 years ago, hanging around Shadow Traffic waiting for a chance. It was John Q. who trusted my voice and gave me that chance.”

She adds: “John Q. is and was a gentleman and a class act!”

See yesterday’s report.

KUSI’s John Coleman was the founder of The Weather Channel. John told an audience at the 2008 International Conference on Climate Change in New York that he is “highly critical of global warming alarmism”.

The all-weather station is being sold and John had thoughts about that.

“The Weather Channel had great promise, and that’s all gone now because they’ve made every mistake in the book on what they’ve done and how they’ve done it and it’s very sad,” John said. “It’s now for sale and there’s a new owner of The Weather Channel will be announced – several billion dollars having changed hands in the near future. Let’s hope the new owners can recapture the vision and stop reporting the traffic, telling us what to think and start giving us useful weather information.”

John’s weathercast is part of the KUSI-TV local news.

Starting today, Clear Channel San Diego will be at the Rady Children’s Hospital. The cluster will host a telethon to raise money for the local charity. The broadcast ends on Friday.
