Michael Hood has confirmed that BlatherWatch, the local radio talk show blog he has written for many years is out of publication. The blog was started as right wing talk show stations such as KVI and KTTH were starting to not only gain a foothold in the community, but seemed to have an effect on some local policy making.
The blog was razor sharp, often funny, and always informative and although Hood was definitely Liberal, progressive hosts were not immune from his criticism. Blatherwatch famously went after Liberal KIRO Radio Host Mike Webb, a very troubled individual whose life ended tragically.
The blog's inside look at the local radio market provided the background for many stories on this blog. In the last few years, he provided a nostalgic look at local radio from the 1960s and 1970s on Saturdays.
As Michael would headline a post in his own blog. RIP BlatherWatch ?-2013.
