About the Show
Tell Somebody
"Tell Somebody" is a locally-produced weekly public affairs program on the air on KKFI since September 2005. Tell Somebody strives to provide in-depth coverage of international, national and local issues on important issues and viewpoints often ignored or distorted in the corporate media.
On this week’s edition of Tell Somebody, Todd O’Boyle and Christopher Mitchell will be on the show to talk about proposed legislation in Kansas, written by a cable industry lobbyist, that according to Mitchell would, if passed, “create some of the most draconian limits on building networks we have seen in any state.” Tom Klammer hosts.
