Ed Leibowitz profiles John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou, hosts of California's The John & Ken Show, who reach 1.2 million weekly in the key 3 pm to 7 pm drive-time slot:
Stretching from the Inland Empire to northern San Diego County, it is not only the most listened-to local radio talk show in Southern California, but in the whole country. “More stimulating talk radio” is KFI’s official slogan, and Kobylt and Chiam-pou deliver. They’ll talk about celebrity farces and tragedies, lurid murder trials, and weirdness wherever it materializes, but their main theme is the destruction of California—by public employee unions, by endless tax increases, by illegal immigrants, by corrupt and incompetent politicians, and by violent criminals coddled by the system.
The John & Ken Show is devoid of heroes. There are only traitors and bandits and their victims—the middle-class American taxpayers whom Kobylt and Chiampou speak to every weekday as their pockets are picked and their way of life is eroded by the border-crossing hordes.
