Are you thinking of Bill Gallagher? Or perhaps Jim Hightower, although he was not local.
I think KXL could have succeeded with liberal talk if they had been consistent about it. Their mistake was to put Gallagher and Hightower on with the likes of Rush Limbaugh (now on KEX). Mixing liberal and conservative talk on the same station doesn't work, as KPAM likewise discovered a few years later. It's like a music station playing both hip-hop and country.
