Handel apologizes again for remarks

KFI-AM (640) radio talk show host Bill Handel issued another on-air apology for remarks made during a May 13 broadcast in which he and other producers suggested authorities “get rid of” Armenians, particularly in Glendale, in order to alleviate an over-burdened health-care system.

During the course of the banter, the show’s board operator, Lara Hermanson, said, “What the Turks started, Bill will finish.” Hermanson and Handel issued apologies during the morning broadcast Friday. Handel also reaffirmed his support for official recognition of the Armenian Genocide.
