Jeff Katz, who had a talk radio show in the afternoon after Rush Limbaugh on WBT radio in Charlotte NC, was fired on Monday, December 1, 2008. Jeff Katz was considered controversial by some, but he was one of the few locally telling the truth about Barack Obama, and trying to inform the citizens of the Charlotte area. I listened to Jeff Katz when I was able. He was a beacon of truth in a morass of lies and bias such as that emanating from the extremely biased Charlotte Observer. Many of the callers to Jeff’s show would be obnoxious or blind followers of Obama. Katz handled them as best as could be reasonably expected. Of course no one in this day and age wants the truth and no one should question the “messiah”, Obama.
Citizen Wells intends to get to the bottom of this and find out the truth about the Jeff Katz dismissal.
Stay tuned.
Jeff Katz, God bless you for the job you did. The listeners of WBT talk radio owe you a debt of gratitude.

Please note how much Adolph Hitler looks like David Axelrod. I should know- I was born in Berlin.

It may be that he is being replaced by Schnitt (Todd) who follows Limbaugh in other areas and who like Limbaugh has become soft-when it comes to real controversy.

People have the right to know about the truth. It is unfortunate most Americans are too dumb to think for themselves and hear the truth. Too bad Katz had to be fired. We just live in a society that is too politically correct. I’m going to talk about Obama and I always seek the facts before I judge. Too bad the idiots of America don’t see it that way.
I totally agree with you Citizen Wells…..Jeff Katz was the ONLY news person in the Charlotte area brave enough to tell the truth or even look for the truth concerning Obama. I listened to Jeff every day…loved his show…someone should have some explaining to do about this.
When the newspapers or talk radio can no longer seek the truth in our country, then for all practical purposes, objective reporting is DOA (dead on arrival) and everyone(including the owners of the radio stations and newspapers) are in deep doo-do! Ask Hier Hitler what he did!
This is outrageous. Citizen you are also correct about the Charlotte Observer. What a rag sheet and they have no compitition, but they are loosing their subscribers! I wonder why?
I hope they loose all their readers. I’m sure when the smoke clears they will have had a lot to do with the firing of Jeff .
Jeff certainly did his part in exposing this Obama charade, now it’s our turn to make our voices heard. Please every one in the Charlotte area do this:
1. CALL WBT AND TELL THEM; BRING BACK JEFF KATZ OR LOSE YOUR AUDIENCE!
2. EVERYONE IN THE CHARLOTTE AREA STOP LISTENING TO WBT!!!! IF KATZ’S LOYAL LISTENER’S STOP TURNING THEIR RADIOS TO WBT, THEY WILL GET THE MESSAGE!
BOYCOTT,BOYCOTT, BOYCOTT,BOYCOTT!
3. LOCAL BUSINESSES STOP ADVERTISING ON WBT UNTIL KATZ RETURNS!
IT WORKS FOR JESSIE JACKSON AND WILL WORK FOR US ALSO. MAKE YOUR SILENT VOICES HEARD!
Go get ’em. I smell a rat. Who got to the WBT high muckemucks. Possibly Gilcrist?
Jeff Katz was the best thing on WBT. I ‘m so very upset over this. WBT shame on you, you have made a hugh mistake. I will boycott WBT, Charlotte Observer way too liberal for me, they never report the truth. God bless you Jeff and your family, you are truly gifted and deserve your own radio show like Glen, Rush, and Shawn.
This is insane. We were out of the country, and just got back. I turned on WBT and heard that Tara now has the 3:00 hour. I am stunned. Jeff, was the ONLY conservative on WBT. Insane. I will no longer be listening to WBT. I am more than disgusted.
Jeff Katz was the reason I began listening to WBT in the first place. I am so tired of being forced to swallow the biased liberal crap the mainstream media feeds us! Jeff gave a voice to discouraged conservatives. I”ve listened to Tara before and respect her abilities but can’t stomach this change. You’ve lost me WBT!
Like Mac, I started listening to WBT because of Jeff Katz. When I heard the reasoning for his release, I changed my radio preset. It seemed like the GM and PM were reciting an overly rehearsed line during their show. Tara is alright, but she gets repetitive and doesn’t keep my attention.
I really enjoyed Jeff Katz and will miss him. Good luck to Jeff and his family, may he find a station that will appreciate him. Thank you Citizen keep up the good work and please keep us informed.
Jeff Katz is making a reappearance in new media starting with Twitter: http://twitter.com/jeffkatzshow
So why are we not organizing and boycotting the station and its advertizers like the trash that is trying to silence our freedom of speech? I say we fight back. We can begin by boycotting, emailing, calling those advertising on the WBT website…

It’s time to do more than blog and get into action!
It seems the followers of allah, the religion of peace and love, hate enough to force Katz off the air — never mind that he’s of the Jewish persuasion. I’m sure that didn’t have anything to do with their effort. Boycott??? How’s that for charity? Put the advertisers out of business — that’s being charitable. Until these lunatics honestly criticize the terrorists in their midst, I’ll have no belief in their sincerity. Oh, and don’t print a picture of allah, or they’ll burn down your business and murder your children, etc. It’s wonderful; only in America!
I thought that WBT stood for something. I got a response from WBT that he was “mean-spirited”, etc. I listened to him all the time and I never heard one thing coming from him that was “mean-spirited”. Only honestly spoken and very probing… I can only think he must have probed something sensitive somewhere… and WBT seems to have shown their true colors.
Jeff was WBT for me. He spoke the truth, which is hard for anyone straying from it to hear. Beyond that, Jeff is a community spirited personality whose concern for us went far beyond the radio studio. WTB is poorer for not having him in the lineup. I’m back to CDs in the car.
I just learned that Jeff Katz was fired. I stopped listening to WBT when I heard that Jeff was no longer going to be on. I enjoyed his show very much. I loved how passionate he was and how he wasn’t afraid to stand up for truth. WBT is no longer the radio station of my choice. I would love to know the truth to why he was fired. I believe he is owed an apology.
Jeff is on the air in Boston right now, filling in for Howie Carr. Jeff sounds great!
Does anybody know where Jeff Katz is now?
I didn’t know he was fired from WBT back then until I saw online just now.
Katz used to be on the KNEW in San Francisco near where I live until he suddenly disappeared. He was one of my favorite hosts.
Later on I saw that he was on the air in Charlotte.
Post hear if you know where he is now.
