Everywhere it's been tried - liberal, or progressive as it's sometimes described as, talk radio hasn't taken off with the success conservative talk radio has.
Case and point - the top six of March 2009 Talkers magazine "Heavy Hundred" talk show hosts are conservative. The top liberal host, Thom Hartmann, come in at number 10. However, liberal talk show host Stephanie Miller appeared on CNN's April 5 "Reliable Sources" and insisted there is more at play than just pure market forces holding the liberal format back.
"Well, you know - I just did a panel on the Fairness Doctrine," Miller said. "I have to tell you, I brought ratings information. And people like me and Ed Schultz are consistently beating conservative shows in many, many markets. And yet - there is 10 percent liberal radio in this country. Ninety percent of the stations are conservative. You just cannot argue anymore it's because liberal radio can't compete."

LOL
The station owners are just to greedy... And not stupid enough.
Sound like sweetie pie is in a severe state of denial or maybe she is just delusional.
People like this are.. completely fooled in their own arrogance.. its amazing
Stephanie Miller is a major dimbulb. I remember when she was still doing stand-up. Simply one of the unfunniest human beings on the planet.
She used to be on the air in L.A. but couldn’t hold an audience.
In her own words” Give her 22 minutes and she’ll give you a headache.
She no doubt wants to nationalize these stations so that Obama can boot Rush and Hannity off the air and replace them will leftwing ranters.
The toxic assets are liberal talkers repeating what's already in virtually all big city newspapers, in most "news" magazines, and on all TV networks and most cable TV.
Disaster for radio looms. Move over mortgage lenders
That's where I heard her. I listened a couple of times and decided that she was just another loopy liberal. IIRC, her claim to fame is that her father ran with Barry Goldwater as his VP.
I was on the road last week and tuned into her show for a few minutes. All I can say is there is no there there. No substance to the show. Just laughing and giggling and making fun of conservatives. No thought involved at all.
I really get tired of these self anointed demi-gods and their constant pontificating.
NPR and the Alphabet networks are where Liberals tune in.
Jon Sinton, then with Air America, predicted in 2004 that
“in five years we’ll be on 600 stations” in an interview with
Mark Jurkowitz of the possibly-soon-out-of-print Boston Globe. Probably 60-65 stations at the most do libtalk and it’s failed in markets like Boston. Miami’s station just flipped to sports...

“WINZ has not made money as long as it’s been progressive. The reasons are simple. The audience for the format is very loyal but small...”
Clear Channel’s WHJJ 920, Prov. RI, dumped libtalk for
conservative talk including Rush Limbaugh. The program
director came out and said “The Air America experiment is
over.”
And oh yes, Obama 1260 in Washington DC—an area not exactly
conservative—flipped to a business format, one that would
make...”Money”

>>She cited the demise of Washington, D.C.’s “Obama 1260” radio station that went away in February.
If only Obama could fade away as fast.
If you can’t make it as a ‘progressive’ aka extremely liberal on MSNBC or late night you can’t make it anywhere.
“Miller’s radio show was briefly televised live from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. Eastern Time on MSNBC from April 30, 2007 to May 2, 2007. During this period, the show originated from MSNBC’s studio in Secaucus, New Jersey, the studios and time slot formerly used by the now-cancelled Imus in the Morning. After the stint, she said that she was not interested in the position full-time.”
“In the fall of 1995, Miller became one of the few women to host her own late night television talk show, The Stephanie Miller Show syndicated by Buena Vista Television. The show was cancelled after just 13 weeks.”
It’s the liberal tactic of playing three-card Monty with reality.
Record low temperatures are proof positive that Global Warming is real.
Low tides previously unseen surely are a sign of rising sea levels.
NOBODY listening to libspew on the radio obviously means they have more listeners than Rush Limbaugh.
Mental illness.
