Gasman Leaving KJR
It's said that "all good things must come to an end" and today's Seattle Times announced that Mike Gastineau, known as the Gasman on KJR, is leaving the station. When KJR, one of Seattle's venerable radio stations became a sports talk station in the early 90s, many of it's on-air personalities were abrasive toward both the players and fans who called in. Gastineau had a much different approach, fair and even handed. Gastineau had a friendly way of educating his callers, who may not have seen the full picture. As the station has evolved, there are fewer call-ins and more interviews and commentary. Gastineau has been afternoon drive at KJR for almost 20 years, almost 3 lifetimes in big market radio. He has been with KJR for 21 years. His community service includes hosting the Fred Hutchison Award and the KJR Kares-A-Thon Charity Auction.. He has said that he will persue other opportunities.
