Original story: Kwame Kilpatrick is persona non grata at Kevin Adell's 910AM, as the bombastic station owner captures yetanotherheadline by going after a would-be host. According to at least one personality at the Detroit talk radio station, show hosts and guests are barred from saying Kilpatrick's name because Kilpatrick did not respond to Adell's offer for a TV and radio show.
The Detroit News broke the story Tuesday afternoon, saying Adell wanted to give Kilpatrick 30 minutes on his The Word network and two hours during drive-time on 910. Kilpatrick never responded, Adell says, rebuffing an offer that could help the politician satisfy probation conditions that include securing a job, and paying more than $1.7 million in restitution to the Internal Revenue Service and the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department.
