  • Clear Channel doesn't want you to know about local layoffs

    Yesterday's blog "The Bloodletting Starts at Clear Channel Denver" documented layoffs of ten people working for one or more of the Texas concern's eight area outlets, and noted that more cuts were expected. Unfortunately, management isn't interested in supplying specifics. Clear Channel Denver chief Lee Larsen, who previously discussed layoffs in a December 17 blog, referred a call for comment to Lisa Dollinger, a spokeswoman with Clear Channel corporate. Shortly after making an interview requ

  • Dow Jones subscribers know Al Lewis got the scoop on Tancredo, Rosen losses

    This morning, both Denver dailies feature page-one stories about Agile Group, a Boulder wealth-management firm with a couple of notable local clients -- KOA talk-show host Mike Rosen and former congressman Tom Tancredo -- who say they've lost a bundle. Predictably, the Rocky Mountain News focused on Rosen, who writes a weekly column for the paper. In contrast, the Denver Post emphasized Tancredo -- but attentive readers will notice that the quotes attributed to the ex-rep, as well as Rosen, ar

  • KOA's Mike Rosen tackles critics' questions about his fiscal meltdown

    Mike Rosen. KOA radio host Mike Rosen has had his fill of talking about serious losses he sustained in relation to investments he made with Boulder-based Agile Group, a firm he used to advertise. As he said on the air and during an interview with Westword late last week, he believes that he was "caught in the crossfire" between the Rocky Mountain News and the Denver Post, with the former putting his mug on its front page after staffers learned that Dow Jones columnist Al Lewis was working on a

    Garrison Keillor. An editor's note by editorial-page editor Dan Haley, featured in the op-ed section of today's Denver Post print edition, reads: "Good news from the right, and left. KOA radio talk show host and former Rocky Mountain News columnist Mike Rosen will begin writing his column for The Denver Post Friday. And Garrison Keillor, the popular folk humorist and national radio personality, will write for Saturday's paper." Clearly, Haley is positioning these additions as an example of bal

These days, every online news operation, including this one, is desperately searching for ways to increase its number of page views -- and one approach is to insert links to other stories on their respective sites. But an example of this phenomenon in today's Denver Post shows how absurd the method can be when taken to extremes. "RTD Chief Takes Hits," a report about the decision by transit boss Cal Marsella t

  • 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

    Mike Rosen. A blog yesterday teased a KOA/AM-760 simulcast of conservative host Mike Rosen and progressive yakker David Sirota debating Barack Obama's first 100 days as president -- and the program itself, broadcast earlier today, turned out to be diverting. Rather than an imbalanced back-and-forth of the sort that frequently takes place during the Dan Caplis-Craig Silverman show on KHOW (which Caplis tends to dominate), the exchange turned out to be quite evenhanded, with Sirota actually seemi

    The last bill of the legislative session has been signed, and it's all over but the shouting -- particularly in front-page stories over the governor's vetoes of union-friendly bills (and likely when the governor is on Mike Rosen's show at 9:15 a.m.). But Bill Ritter also managed to please at least one important group, as evidenced by a big advertiment in today's Denver Post sponsored by Amgen, the Colorado BioScience Association, Metro Denver, Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce and Pharma.

    Mike Rosen.​In April, KOA conservative Mike Rosen and AM 760 liberal David Sirota participated in a debate of President Barack Obama's first hundred days in office that was simulcast on both stations. And while those with ideological axes to grind disagreed about who won, the general consensus was that Sirota cleaned Rosen's clock.

He also confirmed that he was considering a campaign because his candidate of choice, state senator Josh Penry,
