KHOW will realize the errors of their ways.

I've listened to Peter for about 40 or more years. I like that he is a very learned man and extremely informed about most topics on his radio show. If he doesn't know about a certain topic, he would be the first to tell you that he is uninformed.

GOODBYE KHOW.....Pete, I hope you catch on with another station and SMOKE the H*LL out of KHOW!
