It’s been reported that KSL, a radio station in Utah run by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, will no longer air the nationally syndicated Sean Hannity Show beginning this October, and a local ABC affiliate is reporting that people at the station had begun questioning the host’s civility recently before the programming change had been made.

ABC4 Salt Lake City reported the announcement came in light of speculation that the program was “not in line with Deseret Media Company’s mission statement that calls for civility and other ethical stances.”

While all overt signs point to it being a decision based on the desire for more local content, the Salt Lake Tribune has run a story, to which it is sticking, that Hannity’s content was a little too hot for KSL to handle: “Hannity got the ax because his mean-spirited banter was out of step with a new mission statement at LDS Church-owned media that demands its programming bring “light” and knowledge to listeners.”

Bottom line? Hannity has become so unscrupulous, and shameful, in his fact less based programming that KSL decided to drop him. You don’t drop the #1 rated show in the market simply because of a desire to run more local shows. Hannity has pushed too far to the right and too far in his incivility. The downfall of right wing radio noise won’t come from any presidential edict. It’s going to come from within.
