>>I won't watch or listen to this junk.

Oh, sure you will...We ALL will...ONCE!

How else will we be able to satisfy our belief that we're correct until we see the bastards prove it...Thing is, all it will take most of us is less than an hour, then they're no longer worthy of a second more of our time!

[Wright is right!]

"I thought this quixotic project would just be a wrongheaded waste of money. Now, I see that it is actually a spectacularly hilarious, Hindenberg-scale disaster about to happen."

You are precisely correct. If any thought AT ALL has been given to operating this venture as a business with the goal of profitability, it has been swept away by a tsunami of partisan desperation. I really would like to see the Business Plan, if one exists, and see just what it is that they are really attempting to do. Frankly, I'd be surprised if there IS a Business Plan, and I'd be doubly shocked if they have actually gotten any business entity to loan them startup capital for a very shaky and shady enterprise. Chances are 100% that they're using their own funds, and we should all be delighted to watch the total squandering of the money they're putting into this.

I'd also be surprised if they have even TALKED with anyone who knows their way around successful network syndication, even talked with ONE radio programmer who knows what makes people listen (which produces ratings, which, in turn, produce SALES and INCOME, which produces PROFIT). I'll bet that the only people they've talked to are "transport" people, i.e., technical guys on the engineering logistics of producing material and distributing it to affiliates. I'll also bet not one "affiliate" is carrying what will eventually be this "network" under normal syndie contract conditions. I'm guess that what this really amounts to is a chain of stations accepting non-stop PAID POLITICAL ADS, infomercials, if you will. And that the network will operate only until the money runs out (or the 2004 elections occur, whichever happens first).

This is most certainly NOT a real radio network startup. It has none of the trappings of an actual business venture.

Your post is right on the money. I have never seen a Conservative convert to a liberal.

I've seen Liberals admit they were liberals...such as Jumping Jim Jeffords.

[ConservativeMan55]

June? How about February! LOL!

[ConservativeMan55]

Who says its going to last more than 6 months? LOL.

[ConservativeMan55]

Colmes is the only Liberal who I believe is genuine. He attempts to be intellectually honest with himself and has some various forms of class.

[Beck_isright]

I hope they are on locally. I can't wait to call in. Should we all get our "FR SEMINAR CALLER" t-shirts made now ($14.95 each and $10 of each sale goes to FR) or should we just wait to see if they are on more than just NPR?????

[ConservativeMan55]

KGO? Thats the one that carries Roger Hedgecock right?

[AlwaysLurking]

Let's wait and see if it really ever actually HAPPENS!

And then if it lasts more than a week!

[Beck_isright]

I hope it does. I've got to license the "SEMINAR CALLER" phrase before you other evil capitalists do.-:)

[Larry Lucido]

So is this really a mindless suicide charge, or a brilliant end-run around Campaign Finance Reform. Democrats will be miles behind in fundraising, and have boxed themselves in with CFR. Here is a legal way to spend unlimited amounts on partisan propaganda from January through October in an election year.

What's funny to think about is, when we Americans start calling in to debate the host and socialist anti-American guests and win the arguments, the other listeners are going to start converting to more conservative (a.k.a. American) positions, leaving the socialists even more outnumbered...

I've heard too many people call in unprepared imagining they have some profound observation. Maybe they think they 'won' in their own minds, but usually they just came across as foolish.

[Political Junkie Too]

No. KGO is 810 in the SF Bay area. Hedgecock is on KOGO 600 in San Diego.

Liberal Talk Radio ask for government assistance in February!

[Thebaddog]

There's a Chicago Magazine article about these two accountants gone wild and their grand plans. They signed up Jim Hightower's manager from his failed radio days and are talking to Al Franken, Janeane Garafolo, and Joe Lockhart about signing on but nobody has bit yet.

I don't know about you guys, but I want more of Al and Joe. Bugeyes and Big Glasses are a sure formula for "success".

[ru4liberty]

Really? You give it that long?

[Semper Paratus]

Liberal Talk Radio ask for government assistance in February!

Don't laugh, when Lib Radio fails they're going to ask for the reinstatement of the 'fairness doctrine'.

[doug from upland]

Yes, bring it on. It is going to heart the other leftist institutions where the morons get their info -- NPR, CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC, etc.
