  • Jay Marvin's anti-Mark Udall rant makes the rounds

    Jay Marvin was once the fieriest of radio talk-show hosts, as is made clear in our 1998 feature article, "Double Trouble." By the time of a 2007 Message column, "Progress?," which profiled him in the context of his current station, AM 760, he'd mellowed considerably. But the combative Marvin resurfaces in the context of an online rant about Mark Udall, in which he accuses the senator-elect of being "cold" and "removed," and of curtly dismissing the efforts of Marvin's wife, Mary, who volunteer

    David Sirota. Jay Marvin, the morning host for AM 760, Clear Channel Denver's progressive talk outlet, has been out of commission of late, after undergoing gall bladder surgery. He's on the mend and expected to be back at the microphone next Monday. In the meantime, however, his most frequent fill-in, syndicated columnist David Sirota, has acquitted himself well due in part to his willingness to speak his mind even if he's got critical things to say about figures on the liberal end of the polit

  • Mike Rosen, David Sirota debate Barack Obama's first 100 days in KOA/AM-760 simulcast

    David Sirota. As every political pundit acknowledges, assessing a new president after his first 100 days in office is artificial and unfair -- but if Barack Obama is embracing the notion (he's holding a primetime news conference tonight), what the hell? Hence, a plan for KOA conservative Mike Rosen and AM-760 progressive David Sirota to debate Obama's performance to date during a 9 a.m.-to-10 a.m. session that will be simulcast on both stations. AM-760 producer John Turk is looking forward to

  • An update on Jay Marvin's health crisis

    Jay Marvin. The serious health issues AM 760 morning-show host Jay Marvin has been battling since late February aren't getting any simpler for doctors to tackle according to Mary Marvin, Jay's wife, who updated David Sirota, his most-frequent fill-in, during an appearance on the station yesterday. As first reported on the DenverRadio.net site, Mary noted that Jay has a three-inch balled mass located between vertebrae in his back. Even worse, the mass is connected to what she referred to as a "

    Photo by Michael RobertsJay Marvin in his Denver home. AM 760 morning talk-show host Jay Marvin has spent the last several months fighting for his life. He's been in and out of the hospital for a variety of serious health concerns since early March, and aside from occasional updates provided by his wife, Mary, on the radio and his Facebook page, most of his fans have only an inkling about how he's really doing. To address this issue, he invited yours truly to his Denver-area home yesterday afte

  • No guarantee that David Sirota will be returning to AM 760

    David Sirota. In today's blog about AM 760 morning-show host Jay Marvin's continuing health crisis, I note that syndicated columnist David Sirota, who's been filling in for Marvin on most days, will be gone for several weeks on a trip to China. When he returns, however, he's not certain if he'll step back behind the microphone. Shortly after the publication of the item linked above, Sirota posted one of his own on the AM 760 website -- a letter addressed to the station's listeners. The tone of

    John Turk. With AM 760 morning host Jay Marvin still battling a serious health crisis and his main fill-in, David Sirota, in China for several weeks and uncertain if he'll be taking to the station's airwaves again upon his return, some listeners have worried that Clear Channel Denver, the outlet's owner, will be content to schedule syndicated programming for the foreseeable future. It's a good sign, then, that John Turk, Marvin's regular producer (who served the same role for Sirota), has been

AM 760 morning-personality Jay Marvin has spent months battling a series of serious medical challenges that have kept him off the air -- until yesterday, when he spoke by phone to John Turk, his longtime producer, who's been manning the microphone for the past week-plus. Marvin sounded stronger than he did during my visit to his home on June 8 -- a stop that formed the basis of the subsequent blog entitled "Jay Marvin Talks Ab

    Photo by Michael RobertsA photo of Jay Marvin at home, taken in early June.​In a June interview at his home, AM 760 radio host Jay Marvin talked in detail about a serious illness that's kept him off the airwaves since early March. At that time, Mary Marvin, Jay's wife, said doctors had ordered him "to act like he's training to do the 24 hours at Daytona" in order to prepare his body for surgery to address a massive infection that had attacked his spine, threatening paralysis.

Not that his challenges are behind him, as Jay's wife Mary makes clear in her latest update on his condition, sent this morning. As she notes, he's had various problems with medication this week

Instead of e-mailing a description of how he's doing, though, she simply shipped off the photo seen here, which shows the massive incision doctors had to make in order to remove two vertebrae destroyed by an infection that could have left hi

Too add insult to very literal injury, his rehabilitation since returning to Colorado a few months back hasn't gone as quickly as he hoped. And then, on Wednesday, he
