The Call by Mayor Sam

Zuma Dogg's inside sources once again prove to be right, Monday morning KABC Radio will announce the return of Dodgers baseball to their airwaves in 2008. KABC was the radio home of LA's major league franchise for many years. In recent airs, the games aired on KFWB. Pre-emption of the Mark Levin radio show during home games could mean additional listeners for Kevin James on KRLA AM; away games will cut into the hours of Larry Elder and Al Rantel sending listeners to Mark "Mr. K" Germain on KTLK AM. Hell don't wait for Dodger baseball, tune into Mark's and Kevin's shows both tonight!

In other radio news, Franklin Avenue reports that veteran former KABC broadcaster Michael Jackson is returning to the airwaves on a new talk station that also resurrects the legendary KGIL callsign at its original location of 1260. Talkradio fans remember that KGIL was a great talk station that once featured hosts such as KTLA newsman Bill Smith and the late John Swaney.

At the same time FA covers rumors that morning talk jock Don Imus could return to the airwaves in LA, possibly on KABC. Lets put 790 on notice - IF you remove Doug McIntyre and replace him with Don Imus I will NEVER listen to KABC again and will do everything possible via this ever popular blog to encourage others do to the same. Your stupid losses of Mark Germain and Kevin James has vastly cut down the time I listen to your station, lets not make any more dumb mistakes.

I predicted - and will continue to - that Al Gore's head is too big to not run for President. Al himself hasn't ruled it out; at the same time a number of major leave efforts are underway to draft the man who invented the internet to run for President in 2008.

Here's an instance where a Clowncil is going to piss off someone no matter what they do. The Beijing government of China plans to enter a float in the 2008 Rose Parade. The City of Pasadena's Human Relations Committee has urged that the City take a strong position on the communist government's poor human rights record. On the other hand Pasadena Mayor Bill Bogard would prefer the Council not take a position; obstensibly not to piss off the powerful Tournament of Roses Association (as well as most likely George Bush, American companies doing business in China as well as Beijing itself). On the other hand human rights activists and local Chinese immigrants who suffered at the hand of the goverment are adamant a stand be taken. Stay tuned.
