Still owned by the Jazz, I believe. But managed and operated by Bonneville/KSL.

Politically I've been annoyed with KSL, but sports-wise they've been pretty fair

I actually liked Austin and thought he was funny. Maybe the only funny one

9/30/21 2:15pm

I did too except he didn't have a great radio voice unfortunately

Rhubarb

His voice was unique, but it worked for me. Part of his uniqueness.

Austin knew sports better than Jake and GM and also was funny

He broke rule #1: 1. If you sell your radio station, you will probably get fired from it if you aren’t very good.

Too bad for him. I hope he lands on his feet. It's never easy to lose a job.

He'll go back to 1320 and bring them all with him.

Probably true. The radio talent in this state seems to just move from station to

1320 plays Mariache music. Maybe Gordo can comment on that?
