For a few months, I've been tuning to 1150 AM, KIMM radio in Rapid City at 8 am (after Morning Edition on SDPR) to catch the last hour of Imus in the Morning. Monday, I tuned in as usual, only to hear the mouth-frothing of Shad Olson, of late the KOTA TV anchor.
You may have been so unfortunate as to have caught his short-lived KOTA radio program two days a week, a drivel-laden rant that only lasted a few weeks. Well, he's back, and it's even worse. You really have to listen to about ten minutes to appreciate how bad it is.
I give him two weeks before the stations pull the show. Here are the stations that he claims on his website carry his show. I assume they all air at 8 am daily, but I can't vouch for any except KIMM.
KIMM: AM 1150 Rapid City SD
KIMM: FM 106.7 Rapid City
KBFS: AM 1450 Belle Fourche SD
KVSH: AM 940 Valentine NE
KYDT: FM 103.1 Sundance WY
So, now at 8 am to 9 am, I have my choice of the quintessentially annoying Laura Ingraham on KTOQ, the snoringly boring Don Grant on KOTA, Morning Classics on SDPR, or any of a dozen horribly bad rock or country stations.

You could drive up to Mt. Roosevelt to get Wyoming Public Radio after Morning Edition. There are morels and oyster mushrooms up there right now. Send me a picture and wave in the direction of the Big Horns.
Yes, the truth is very annoying when one is determined not to live by it.
I hear the "tolerant" liberals in our area are working hard with an organized campaign against Shad. Perhaps that's why you "give him two weeks before the stations pull the show;" you're figuring your fellow apostles of tolerance can demonize him off the radio by then.
But maybe, just maybe, there are enough people tired of all the liberal bilge that spews out of speakers and TV sets and newspaper pages every day who will call in and commend him for providing a much-needed dose of common-sense and patriotic American values.
Bob Newland, go with the classical stuff.
Bob Ellis, what kind of music do you enjoy, big fella?
Are tubas involved?
Are tubas involved? LOL. Fleming, that was actually really, really funny.
Ellis likes Die Walküre, of course. It smells like napalm in the morning.
hey, Kurtz, I'll be in Sheridan Fri or Sat. want to have lunch or something?
email me newland@rapidcity.com
call me 605-255-4032
assuming Sheridan is near where you are
You're a dear but I'm another 325 mi. west and north. I'll be through Rapid in about two weeks, would love to hook up.
Go over to ip and roll a big bomber.
Oh, and quit picking on Fleming.
"dinglow"
Be patient, callers will be taken soon.
WTF is wrong with you people!? The more attention you give this, the longer it will be around.
You're doing it a wonderful service by giving it the platform to be controversial. Ignore it like I do most of you. That program has about as much depth as the Empire State Building, so if you quit giving it wings, it's going to drown in it's own tea-filled cesspool.
Thanks! I'll have to catch the show.
I broadcast a game for KIMM-AM when St. Thomas More was at the Hanson Classic a few years ago...
I'm still waiting for my check.
