The committee to save SportsTalk encourages you to sign this petition asking BiCoastal Media and KPNW to reconsider their disturbing decision to take our beloved SportsTalk off the air. SportsTalk has been a bastion of quality LOCAL sports radio and entertainment in our community for nearly 15 years, the past decade on KPNW.
Radio insiders have informed us, that despite what management is putting out there, the show has a rock solid, passionate following, generates successful revenue, posts above average ratings and consistently beats it's main competition in it's time slot.
If you need additional information or wish to help out this campaign, please contact

Thank you all so much!

I am from Medford Oregon and got the KPNW signal clear down here. I enjoyed the show each day. I am an outside salesperson and travel the state on a weekly basis and could almost always receive the show. What a shame it is gone. Did the program mgr take into account the wide reach of the audience in the ratings results Michael is a trash talking shock jock. I turn him off as soon as I hear the program opening. KPNW's stupid move will be another stations big gain!

I listened to Rush and Glenn on KPNW, but since this decision I subscribed to their website and listen to them on the net. Michael Savage is an idiot who disgraces conservative talk radio daily. KPNW is now off my presets and will remain so unless Sportstalk is brought back.

SportsTalk was the best sports radio show on the air. I have listened to talk radio in three states and there was not a better sports show. It was amazing.

Its disgusting that Sportstalk was removed from KPNW. Especially since another political drivel show has replaced it. A local sportsTalk radio show is needed in the Eugene area. Well, now I have absolutely no reason to listen to KPNW

We have been faithful listeners for 10 years. There is so little quality on radio, let alone an intelligent local program for people who live and breathe sports, that removing Tannen's SportsTalk program takes away the final reason for a thinking person to listen to KPNW. My son was fortunate enough to have Steve as a mentor twice, and the experience provided him with the inspiration and purpose to get into college. I used to admire the vision of a station wise enough to serve the local audience with local quality. Think of what you are taking away from other kids in the community and the future of broadcasting!

I listen to thier show almost everyday. I am a conservative and enjoy Lars and Rush but it was always nice to have the break from politics and find out what my favorite teams were up to.

We already have enough options for political based programming. We need local programming and Sports talk fits the bill. It is the only reason I listen to KPNW and now will not be tuning in at all.

I'm disgusted about the station maneuver. Sports Talk IS why I listened to KPNW

I will be boycotting the auction on Saturday. First I stopped listening to the AM news because D Russell is horrible! Sportstalk kept me on KPNW for many things. I will now program something else on my #1 button.
