Salem Fires Host Over School Shooting Comment

Salem took swift action after KNUS-AM Denver afternoon host Chuck Bonniwell said, “you wish for a nice school shooting” to interrupt the impeachment proceedings. Despite co-host Julie Hayden telling Bonniwell he shouldn’t say that, she was also let go as the show they co-hosted was canceled. Here’s the statement from Salem.

“Given the history of school violence that has plagued our community, 710 KNUS confirms that an inappropriate comment was made on the Chuck & Julie show by co-host Chuck Bonniwell.  A programming decision was made to end the program immediately. Starting tomorrow, December 19, the 710KNUS, 1-4pm weekday time slot will feature the Salem Network show, America First, hosted by Sebastian Gorka.”
