Viscott’s Departure

It’s the end of an era with psychiatrist Dr. David Viscott’s announcement that he is leaving KABC Radio (“Radio Therapist David Viscott Leaving KABC After 13 Years,” April 14).

KABC seems to be working overtime to compete with KFI Radio; fortunately the 50-something Viscott didn’t change his style and personality to do that.

Not so with the 50-something Michael Jackson and Steve Edwards. Much of the time they seem to be hyper and controlling (interrupting); trying to be controversial or trying to create it when it doesn’t exist, or trying to be thirty-something!

I think it’s unfortunate that Viscott is gone from KABC. But his timing is probably perfect.
