Peter Boyles
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peter Boyles is a popular and controversial radio host in Denver, Colorado. Boyles can be heard on his morning drive-time talk show on 630 KHOW in Denver and on khow.com. His strong political opinions do not fit the usual radio talk show liberal or conservative stereotypes. For instance, although advocates meaningful enforcement of U.S. immigration laws, he is also an ardent supporter of labor unions.
Boyles got national attention in 1997 by his investigation and nearly constant talk about the death of JonBenet Ramsey. In August 2006 he received intense criticism for his belief that John Mark Karr was not involved in the murder of JonBenet Ramsey. Boyles was vindicated when "the most expensive DNA test in Colorado history" exonerated Karr.[1].
In recent years, Boyles' favorite talk-show topic has been illegal immigration, which he strongly opposes. He is highly critical of lack of enforcement of immigration laws at the federal, state, and local levels, and what he considers tacit government encouragement of illegal immigration.
Boyles is a supporter of homosexual marriage. He was first to break the story of Reverand Ted Haggard's sexual affair with a male prostitute.
Boyles grew up in a working-class family in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He is a self-proclaimed recovering alcoholic. He is also an avid motorcyclist, and frequently promotes charity benefit rides, such as the one for the widow and children of slain police officer Donnie Young.
In August 2006, Boyles was diagnosed with a mild case of West Nile virus.
