• Evidently, somebody REALLY digs KTCL

  As you may have gathered from the hi-dive post below, I'm about to head out of town this weekend. Taking a road trip to the West Coast for the holiday. Before heading into the office this morning, I picked up my rental car. The station was set to 104.3 the Fan -- no doubt thanks to the friendly counter guy at the rental car agency who warmed up the car before I arrived. Not being a particularly big fan of talk radio in the morning (unless, of course, it's Peter Boyles), I pressed the pre-program

• Rush Limbaugh, Peter Boyles see ideology behind Rocky Mountain News' troubles

  In his nationally syndicated December 5 broadcast, robust yapper Rush Limbaugh made mention of the Rocky Mountain News being put up for sale. "Did you see where Scripps Howard may have to close down the Rocky Mountain News?" he asked. "Propaganda organs are just falling by the wayside. The Obama campaign staff is being pared with these layoffs. I mean, how many of them are media?" KHOW's Peter Boyles offered a related argument earlier in the day, suggesting that Rocky sins such as publishin

• Wellshire Inn is out....for now

  I have some fond memories of the Wellshire Inn. Decades ago, the Tudor building on the city-owned Wellshire Golf Course hosted a wild party for a local gal who'd just become a Playboy Playmate of the month. And then there was my lunch with then-Congressman Tom Tancredo and talk-show host Peter Boyles (the three of us once shared the Channel 12 roundtable). On my way out, former Senate president John Andrews, who'd been sitting nearby, told me he enjoyed reading Savage Love?!

• Is it Peter Boyles, Peter Boils or Boil Peters?

  Peter Boyles. The name game took a loopy twist after Colorado Media Matters published an item last Wednesday attacking KHOW talk-show host Peter Boyles for referring to Congresswoman Diana DeGette as "Vagina DeGette" and "Vagina DeJet," for reasons that are too dopey to explain -- although CMM did so at length in its initial item, as well as not one but two follow-up blogs. And as if that weren't enough, two Denver Post scribes, staffer Chuck Plunkeet and columnist Susan Greene, subsequently we

  Peter Boyles. The craziness couldn't go on indefinitely. In an attempt to quiet the controversy caused by KHOW radio host Peter Boyles' off-the-cuff decision to call Congresswoman Diana DeGette "Vagina DeGette" and "Vagina DeJet" (documented in blogs such as "Is It Peter Boyles, Peter Boils or Boil Peters?" and "The Susan Greene-Peter Boyles Vagina Dialogue"), his immediate supervisor, Clear Channel Denver exec Kris Olinger, told him to put a sock in the V-talk -- a development reported in this

• Wake-Up Call: There oughta be a law

  I am listening to Peter Boyles talk about state Senator Chris Romer's bill, which will go before a legislative committee today. The measure would allow illegal immigrants to get in-state tuition at state schools (if they have attended a Colorado high school for at least three years, and have graduated or gotten their GED in Colorado, and are applying for citizenship -- and have gotten into the college). Not surprisingly, Boyles doesn't like the idea (I do), and he doesn't like the fact that t

There's no telling when, if ever, the newspaper will arrive. Maybe tomorrow, when the temperature returns to fifty degrees.

  An image from Channel 9's coverage of yesterday's Tea Party protest. This morning, KHOW's Peter Boyles, one of numerous Clear Channel Denver talk-show hosts who thrust themselves into the spotlight at yesterday's tax-day Tea Party protest, was in high dudgeon about a 9News report by correspondent Thanh Truong that allegedly besmirched the reputations of the thousands who joined them at the State Capitol. The problem? Truong said that at one point, the rally crew chanted "Impeach Obama," even th

• Swine-flu outbreak has Peter Boyles in verbal hog heaven

  Peter Boyles. As even occasional listeners to KHOW's morning-drive program understand, host Peter Boyles is capable of using virtually any current event to argue in favor of stricter immigration policies -- and the public-health emergency regarding a possible swine flu epidemic in this country provides him with the simplest of transitions. The outbreak is centered in Mexico, and while officials such as Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano (whom Boyles refers to as "Mrs. Potato Head") ar

  Brian Furman, in a Channel 31 image. Before today, according to KHOW talk-show host Peter Boyles, Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper hadn't appeared on his program for years -- not since an on-air confrontation that followed the 2005 murder of Denver police officer Donnie Young by a nineteen-year old Mexican native. But the streak was broken when Hickenlooper phoned amid a discussion about Brian Furman, an Iraq veteran whose car had been impounded. Before long, he and Boyles had agreed to split the

  A Furman Original On Wednesday, KHOW talk-show host Peter Boyles and Mayor John Hickenlooper made temporary peace when they agreed to split a $400 fee assessed against Brian Furman, an Iraqi vet whose car was seized under a new Denver law after he was stopped for having a broken headlight. This good-news story devolved into unintentional comedy later that day, when Boyles went to the impound lot to pay his share only to discover that the guy capable of freeing the vehicle was already off-duty.

  ​ Last month, we told you about KHOW talk-show host Peter Boyles' plan to put up a billboard questioning the native-born status of President Barack Obama. This notion had a major roadblock to overcome: In June, the outdoor advertising wing of Clear Channel, the Texas mega-corp that owns KHOW and seven other Denver-area stations, announced that it wouldn't put up so-called birther boards. But Boyles found a way around this obstacle, and he's hopeful that not one but two billboards wondering
