The intermural war between David K and The Strelz, is going to be joined by rival KHRO soon.elpasotimes.typepad.com/mediabuzz/2009/02/maddow-.htmlRachel Maddow show to air on KHRO-AMRachel Maddow, the rapidly-rising political pundit on MSNBC and Air America Radio, will soon be heard on Entravision-owned El Paso radio station KHRO (AM 1150), station officials announced last week. "We thought it was a good move," said station promotions director Abel Rodriguez. The Rachel Maddow Show, whose political punditry swings decidedly to the left, is tentatively scheduled to air from 6 a.m. to 7 a.m. Monday through Friday preceding KHRO's conservative morning talk show featuring Greg Freyermuth and occasional co-host and KDBC-TV (CBS Ch.4) weatherman Gene Savard. Although the official launch date hasn't been announced yet, General Manager David Candelaria was heard promoting the show last week on KHRO. The 35-year old Maddow, a Rhodes Scholar who holds a doctorate degree in political science, has become one of the most popular political commentators on the national scene in recent months. Scheduling Maddow in the morning time slot is seen by some as a pre-emptive move by Candelaria against competitor KQBU(AM 920), which just recently launched an opposite morning talk show lineup with ex-KHRO talkers DavidK and Paul Strelzin.
