KOA Going Down Under; KHOW’s Boyles Back to Border

DCN has gotten the scoop from a source at KOA that Steffan Tubbs (pictured right), co-host of KOA’s “Colorado’s Morning News” program, will be broadcasting live from Melbourne, Australia next week, April 23-25. Tubbs will be accompanied by six Colorado WWII veterans to celebrate ANZAC Day (which is Australia/New Zealand’s equivalent to Memorial Day). The veterans will be guests of honor at several events, including a 95,000+ Australian-rules football game.

In other Denver radio news, DCN has learned that KHOW’s controversial and popular morning drive-time radio host, Peter Boyles (pictured below), is planning a return trip to the Arizona/Colorado border. KHOW fans will recall when Boyles broadcast from the Arizona/Colorado border in 2006 where he uncovered several disturbing stories of illegal border crossings.

Boyles is not new to talking about illegal immigration issues, which he strongly opposes. Wikipedia says that this divisive radioman “is highly critical of lack of enforcement of immigration laws at the federal, state, and local levels, and what he considers tacit government encouragement of illegal immigration.”
