Denver Radio: Peter Boyles Lands New Gig

Peter Boyles
Peter Boyles will launch a new morning radio show Monday on Salem Communication’s KNUS 710 AM, according to The Denver Post.

The controversial talk-show host, booted from Clear Channel's KHOW after an incident of workplace violence last month, will be on the air 6-9 a.m. with an additional hour online only, 9-10 a.m.

"He's a legend," said KNUS VP and general manager Brian Taylor, who hired Boyles for the morning slot. "He really cares about wanting to speak for his audience."

Boyles cited what he called a Zen expression to express how he hopes the smaller KNUS will compete against his former station, KHOW: "We will be the fish that swallowed the whale."

Current morning host Steve Kelley's show will move to afternoons.


Boyles who started in Denver as a traffic reporter, and later became a morning disc jockey on KLAK before becoming a talk show host on KWBZ, later moving to KOA. He moved to KHOW in 1993.
