Uh-oh...pressure!
Actually, what we do in the morning at KKFR is more
stream-of-consciousnees rather than a lot of forced and contrived stuff
that, just for the sake of doing it, ends up sounding half-a$$ed
amusing. Maryann Watkins (who also does news on KFYI) is my newswoman/
partner on the show, and her insight and knowledge of what's going on
really helps the attitude of the show. Hope ya like it. If not, I'll
join ya in listening to AM when Tom's on!

Re: (R)YOU'RE BACK?
Nothing personal. I've never caught your show; I'll listen tomorrow
morning. All I hear these days is what seems to be someone reading a
short blurb that starts when one song fades and finishes with the intro
to the next song. Is it because there are so few dj's with anything
worthwhile to say that management feels that everything must be written
down? I don't hear conversation, only promos. Am I wrong? I hope you
show me that I am when I catch your show tomorrow morning.

Re: SPEC. ANNOUCE.
Judging from Tom's closing comments on his show yesterday, "Only God
knows who will be on between 3 and 7 today"
He does not expect to be on today? Let's hope he is...
It will be interesting to see what Fred has up his sleeve now.
What is the purpose of having Mark Williams sitting in with another
host a couple of times a day? Are they going to try a new Talk format?

Do you really think KFYI was serious about a "BATTLE" at the 7000 seat
Sundome? IN SUN CITY WEST? When the last BATTLE took place in MESA
there were always empty seats and I'll bet that the capacity of that
room was about 75 to 100 tops.

I noticed that they had stopped advertising the Battle, so I was

important announcement, probably naming a new permament afternoon host.

Re: FRIENDS OF TOM LEYKIS
We are in the process of lining up pickets for the station. We will be
doing it within the next two weeks. It will have to be done sometime
Monday thru Friday to be effective. We will be advising all of the
press as to date and time.
This would be a great time for any and all of you to meet each other and
give Tom added support. If you can make/take time, we can use help with
making signs, and lining up times for picketing.
We are going to have T-Shirts made up and they will be available at
cost, for anyone who wants to wear one.
If you can help, please contact me at 937-0563, evenings or weekends.

Good idea. We have to keep the presure on. Once Tom is back on
permanently, we will contact all of the sponsors and offer our support.
However, we have gotten at least one call from a sponsor who stated that
we don't need someone like Tom. The s.o.b. wouldn't tell us who he was
even though we told him who we were. Maybe it was Fred Weber in
disguise!

Tom Leykis being back may only be TEMPORARY!!!! Tom is only working
day to day. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT WE DO NOT LET UP WITH OUR CALLS AND
LETTERS TO KFYI AND TO THE SPONSORS!!!!!
From what we can tell:
l. Tom was put back on the air because of all of our efforts. But this
is only TEMPORARY!! No peace treaty has been signed by Fred Weber!!!!
2. The "Battle" was cancelled because word leaked out that FRIENDS OF
TOM LEYKIS would show up "live and in person" to defend Tom Leykis!!!
Its not over till its over as a famous baseball player once said. DO
NOT quit sending cards and letters or making those telephone calls.
Make yourself a promise to send at least one letter each and every day
to a sponsor. If you need a sample letter let me know. I also have
copies of "Fitz's" column and "Bud's" colunm, if you need copies. I
send copies of each along with a letter to each sponsor. You should
also call KFYI and let them know THAT YOU APPRECIATE TOM BEING BACK ON
THE RADIO. But tell them we want him back on PERMANENTLY!!!! PLEASE
PLEASE, DON'T LET UP. We won a BATTLE, not the WAR!!!!!!

just workman like, and then realized it was T.L. I just hope that it

Re: TOM'S RETURN
I work nights, so when I woke up at about 5:50pm and turned on my
radio I was really shocked. Barry had indicated that morning that Mark
Williams was going to be filling in that day "until a permament host is
found." When I heard the guest and some caller talking about bigotry,
I though it was Mark doing his "disect-a-bigot" which he does from time
to time. Then, "Tom Leykis on the Talk Station, 910, KFYI." *That*
sure woke me up. So far, Earl Baldwin and Barry Young have been cagey
about who's going to be on today. Well, we'll find out.
This could have been a trial run, to see if Tom could get back on the
air without makeing a big deal over it (i.e., to not embarass the
management any more than they have been already, with the bad press).
I *hope* so, but I have no way of knowing.

Re: TOM ON THE AIR
I couldn't believe my ears today. Was this a fill in or is Tom back?
The next question would be, how about Thursday's battle of the Talk Show
Hosts?

Re: (R)TOM BACK ON KFYI!
It is great to hear Tom back on the air! I happened to tune in by
chance -- overshot FM on the way back from the tape player. I thought
sure I'd been warped back in time by a month.
Now's the time to really push for Tom, so Fred Weber will get the
message!

Re: (R)FRIENDS OF TOM LEYKIS
I forgot to include deviants in the list of people who need Tom back on
the air. But with the Mecham groupies out there supposedly being
"normal" & "good" people, it's getting hard to tell who's deviant and
who's not! Maybe the "THE HOT ARZONA SUN" (sound familiar?) has baked
the sense out us & we're ALL deviants!??????

Re: TOM BACK ON KFYI!
***UPDATE*** ***UPDATE*** ***UPDATE*** ***UPDATE*** ***UPDATE***
Tom Leykis, who as you know has been "on call" for the last three weeks
has BEEN CALLED! He'll do the afternoon show TODAY (Tue 4/19) from 3pm
to 7pm on KFYI! No reasons given, other than he's been called in to do
his old shift today by station management. Tune in...ought to be
interesting, especially to those of you who have been active in FTL and
those of you who have been just plain active.

Re: (R)HELLO
If you are all pulling for Tom...then how about helping us contact the
sponsors of KFYI and let them know that "we" as consumers will no longer
support businesses that advertise on KFYI due to the cavalier and unfair
manner in which they have treated Tom! Some of the sponsors and their
addresses have been posted on this BBS, also on Zephyr (894-6526) and
Silent Side (962-7698)...and they probably need to be re-posted by now!
Sorry, Tom...I'll try my best to get them up their again as soon as
possible!

Re: (R)DIAL-A-DATE
There is no logic in Mr. Weber's actions the past few months, but I do
have a hypothesis. It seems to me that Fred Weber, while having some
business experience, has no ability in programming a news/talk radio
station. He would've kept himself out of a lot of trouble if he stuck
to management and left the broadcasting end of the business to a very
professional program director such as Tom Leykis. (Not a yes-man like
Barry Young.) If Barry had any professional integrity, he would not
have taken the post for the same reasons that Tom resigned.

Re: (R)COMPUSERVE JFORUM
I gotta tell you, that's a good price - BUT (here goes the tech stuff,
not really for this BBS but just this once) the Packard Bell, last time
I checked, was NOT Hayes AT command compatable. Sure, the warranty is
important, but will Packard Bell support you when you have no idea how
to run your software on it? To be honest, I wouldn't buy anything less
than 2400 BPS for an IBM/Compatable machine, as 3 and 1200 are sometimes
not only unbearably slow, but almost useless for online ANSI graphics
and file transfers. Here, 1200 is probably fine, as you are only
reading messages. However (Tom will love this), this is NOT the only
BBS in the Valley. If you're thinking of getting a modem (here comes
the plug, you could all see it coming) why not try a USRobotics Courier
at 2400 or even 4800 BPS. With that, you could fly.

Re: DIAL-A-DATE
I have but one question: How can KFYI justify killing Dial-A-Date,
saying that it "did not reflect the high journalistic, news slant of the
station," when it lets Jaime spent two or three hours last week
exploring the burning question of the eighties: "What do you consider
tacky?" Come on Fred, give us a break.

Re: (R)BBS
Tried to reach you on your BBS Eroszona to leave you a message about
Tom. I couldn't get logged on properly and your system disconnected me.
I guess by now you know the story about Tom. Keep checking this BBS for
further information, read the "New Times" each Wednesday and call Bill
Dougan at 866-7351 for more information. He is heading the "Friends of
Tom Leykis" group and I am trying to help him.
If you want me to have access to you EROSZONA BBS, add me as an approved
user and I will add messages whenever possible.

I would love to hear it! One thing that Montini didn't mention was that
Jackson's a Socialist. I don't care what color Jackson is; I would
never vote for a socialist except under extenuating circumstances.

Re: (R)TAX PROTEST
I think we would all be better off if all income tax was rescinded and
replaced with sales tax. We would each know how hard the tax system
hits on a continuing basis instead of just once a year. I think the
politicians would be more careful in spending with each American fully
aware of the tax dollars the government buzzes through.
Besides, it would eliminate the horrible April 15th!
