Radio host angers Cards coach
Cardinals pitching coach Dave Duncan is angry at KFNS radio, saying he was put on the air without his consent by afternoon drive-time host Kevin Slaten and is contemplating legal recourse. The incident happened Thursday, when they had a contentious conversation that Duncan said he thought was private, but was being broadcast. In it, he called Slaten a "nasty man'' and Slaten accused Duncan of slander. Duncan said he was contacted first by a producer and declined to go on the air, but that Slaten called anyway. In an unconventional move, listeners heard the call being placed and Duncan answering rather than the normal procedure of the person being interviewed already being on the line when the host begins the conversation. Duncan said he thought Slaten was calling to clear the air about him declining the request to be on the program, that he did not know the conversation was for public consumption and that he is looking into options available to pursue the matter.

There's no ambiguity there. The second thing Duncan said was, "Kevin, I'm not going to go on your show.''. Slaten is a jerk. Sue him Dave.

Don't sue him, but you should do something to punish him. I listen to Slaten all the time, and I enjoy his outspoken view on things, but that call went too far.

Slaten is a hack. He doesn't do his homework and then compensates by saying things that are over-the-top and in-your-face. Maybe that kind of radio works in Philadelphia, but Slaten's act hasn't worked in St. Louis for at least a decade now... In fact, I can't remember the last time I really agreed with Slaten on something.

Agreed, Asteroids. He's usually great, but he took it a bit too far on that phone call. He shouldn't be sued, no reason, no time, and no interest.

I haven't listened to Slaten of KFNS for several years now. He keeps jumping from station to station, so that's how he has lasted for 10 years. Not by staying ten years at one station, but by jumping from one bottom rung to another.

As a follow up, Slaten got canned by KFNS on Friday. Maybe I'll start listening to that station again now.
