    Peter Boyles.

    Update: Yesterday at this time, we reported that Peter Boyles, who was fired at KHOW following an incident with his longtime producer, would tentatively debut Wednesday on a new station, 710 KNUS, after the program failed to launch on its planned date, Monday, July 1.

    No need for the word "tentatively" now. Teased by a musical intro featuring Eminem's "My Name Is," Boyles appeared on KNUS at 6 a.m. sharp -- but without revealing the reasons behind the delay.

    There were plenty of online indications that Boyles would be behind the microphone this a.m. KNUS' website, which had removed references to the host on Monday, shared the following image....

    By the way, Steve Kelley, whose Kelley & Company program is moving from the mornings to the afternoons due to Boyles's arrival, is said to be under the weather -- the reason why he won't be heard at 1 p.m. today.
    In addition, KNUS' Facebook page posted a graphic....

    ...that fans immediately (and correctly) interpreted as a teaser for Boyles.
    Still, those who tuned moments ago hoping that Boyles would reveal why he didn't start broadcasting for KNUS on Monday were disappointed. While chatting with a flurry of congratulatory callers, he said, "There are some legal things that have occurred that I'm really not able to talk about."

    Minutes later, he added, "I have a lot of constraints, things I can't talk about, but it's been an interesting couple of days."

    No doubt listeners will interpret these remarks as indicating that Clear Channel, his former employer, had threatened action against him if he took to the airwaves, even though any non-compete clause in his contract had presumably expired. The contract lapsed shortly before he was fired for yanking a lanyard around the neck of producer Greg Hollenback -- an action that left red marks.

    Tom Tancredo guested on what turned out to be Peter Boyles's last show on KHOW.

    Rather than dishing behind-the-scenes dirt, Boyles chose to stir the political pot, announcing that his first guest would be Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Tancredo -- who happened to be his last visitor on KHOW. In response to a caller who noted ruefully that Tancredo's critics think he's crazy, Boyles said, "If he's crazy, so what. We need crazy people."
    That's the kind of comment calculated to get people talking.

    Default Boyles is back — on 710 KNUS

    From The Denver Post:


    A promotion for Peter Boyles’ new morning talk show is prominently displayed on the KNUS website, as seen July 3, 2013.

    “The lines are jammed, lots of emails this morning*” Peter Boyles told listeners Monday. The talk-show host was newly ensconced at KNUS (710 AM) Wednesday after being bounced from KHOW, following an incident of workplace violence and a subsequent salary dispute and legal tangle. His previously announced start on KNUS slated for Monday was a misfire, as reported, and lawyers have been working overtime to remove obstacles to his new employment.
    Wednesday he sounded relieved, chastened by his embarrassing physical run-in with his producer (he admits to yanking the lanyard of longtime producer Greg Hollenback, hard enough to leave a red mark) and, mostly, respectful of the “legal constraints” he continues to honor. Is he angry at Clear Channel? He can’t say much on the record, but listeners know about the long line of laid off and fired CC employees who’ve been shown the door in favor of cheaper syndicated fare. He’s glad to have signed on with Salem Broadcasting.
    His show is 6-9 a.m. and available to stream online.
