Brown says KNUS vet Jimmy Lakey, Dobbs's most recent sub, "will be our person moving forward." That means that KNRC, which promotes itself as presenting "both sides" of the political spectrum, will have entrenched conservatives (Lakey and Kellett) in its two highest-profile slots. This doesn't contradict station policy, Brown insists, because "we encourage everyone to have people who disagree with them on their shows." That will be true of callers in the 6 a.m.-to-10 a.m. slot, too, since it's likely that listeners drawn to Dobbs's relative liberalism will object to most of what Lakey espouses.

Dobbs's departure "is definitely a loss" for KNRC, Brown notes. Whether the station, like Dobbs, will recover is up in the air.
