Split Decision on ‘Stephanie Miller Show’

Re “Syndicator Takes Stephanie Miller’s Show Off the Air” (by Judith Michaelson,March 8): Why did it take so long?

If, as Miller contends, KABC pulled her show because of “racy content,” I would contend that someone was being inordinately polite. It didn’t take many of her programs to conclude that a more accurate and printable characterization of her show would be “insipidly inane and raunchy.” It should come as no surprise that KABC ratings have dropped.

I suggest that even more housecleaning is in order for KABC to regain its ratings of a few years ago, when we were entertained with Ken and Bob, Ken and Peter, etc. Fortunately, you still have the professionalism of Dennis Prager and Larry Elder; without them you would really be in trouble.

If KABC is determined to air “best of” reruns, why not try some of the old early-morning Ken and Bob or Peter shows. Aged as they are, they may be a short-time welcome relief.

Obviously, KABC radio made the right move in canning Stephanie Miller. It already has a Jewish conservative, a gay conservative and a black conservative running relay from 9 a.m. till forever on weekdays, all of whom take themselves pretty seriously and admit to having been touched by Truth. How diverse can you get?

All Miller brought to the freeway was insane, self-deprecating humor and a humanistic point of view. Leave us not go overboard.
