Progressive radio will only survive if the gov’t gets involved to change the rules to their advantage. It can’t be done without the American people not knowing about it, & the fire storm would be like nothing seen in this nation before. Not even Obama & his thugs will survive politically if they try that.

Rush + Beck + Hannity + Levin + Ingraham + Savage + Quinn & Rose + Humphries + Wilkow + Cunningham + Church = Death for liberal/progressive talk radio. Not to mention how God awful Rhodes, Malloy, Miller, Sedar, RFKjr/Papintonio, & Lionel are to try listening to. Not entertaining in the least. Oh, BTW, when you denouce capitalism & profits, but still wonder why you have no sponsers…I mean really.

It’s in part, taxpayer funded. As with any entity that is, it does not have to make a dime. It in fact can even loose money and still be operating. The “P” in NPR should have gave that away.

Conservative talk radio flourishes for a variety of reasons, but foremost is that it is an escape from constant political correctness in every other form of media. Televison, movies, music radio and newspapers are all filled with political slant, multi-cultural posturing, and constant subtle bashing of white males. To be able to escape that for an hour or to, and hear (or call in and proclaim) views that one has to sometimes keep under wraps for fear of liberal crying/name calling – it appeals to many of us. Liberal radio doesn’t work for that reason – those views are already heard all day, every day, everywhere.

Uh, Ray, well, because taxpayers fund it.

Get informed.

For those of you that say liberal talk radio does not work, how do you explain NPR?

Looking at our stats program, we are able to see where visitors are coming from. And I see a few have come from this thread at the DemocraticUnderground.com.These are some of the comments concerning lib radio failing:

"I'm not one of those who bemoans the lack of availability of the product, so much, on the broadcast bands for a variety of reasons (mostly to do with simple territory and timing--they got there first, and it's basically a dying media anyway; also, liberals just aren't as accustomed at this point as are conservatives to have braying asses on the radio telling them what to think.)

"by cutting her [Maddow] show down and moving it around--in fact, she was on 4 or 5 hours in the morning and they buried her for 3 hours at night. Most of us here KNEW she was "the golden child". Who would ever imagine a "progressive" radio station dumping on an educated, brilliant, beautiful (IHTM note: WTF?), progressive woman who embodied everything we stand for.. Gotta wonder who was making THAT decision. This is long in a list of reasons that I quit listening to AAR."

"I was worried about her because she often looks really tired. You can tell when she operates on little sleep because of the dark circles under her eyes."

"[Rush Limbaugh] is the main reason we're in this mess- 20 years of GOP-coordinated UNCONTESTED repetition from 1000 stations to an often captive audience the size of the one that voted for obama.

get sam seder or mike malloy back on --- not lionel!"

Liberal New England barely has lib talk radio, that’s how good it’s doing. In Boston, Burlington VT, New Haven, Portland, and Providence, Air America was replaced by the likes of Spanish language music, “women’s talk”,
sports, and…conservative talk. Boston lost libtalk in Dec of ‘06. Last Dec.
it returned–via two shows on a mostly sports station. They had to BUY the time. Now those shows suddenly disappeared (money ran out?). Again,
in BOSTON. Meanwhile conservative talk host Howie Carr on WRKO was
#1 in his time slot last ratings period (afternoon drive).

Oh, so tragic. I nearly cried when I read this article.

Cried with joy!!!

Listen up you who can’t stand whiny liberal hateful radio shows! Take the link to this article and go and post it to LIBERAL blogs and LIBERAL forums like the DU. Get some of those lefties over here and let’s have a “conversation”. I’d like to hear their views on why liberal talk shows die in liberal cities.

Come on guy (and girls), let’s go bring some over.
