The Little Talker 1210

Smerconish is a tool who refuses to take a stand on anything. I put up with him for about a week and haven’t listened since.

....for any trying to make sense of this post:

It’s been quite a 2010 for conservative media icon Glenn Beck - spurring on the tea-party movement, drawing a throng to his August rally at the Lincoln Memorial and becoming a finalist for Time’s Person of the Year.

But come 2011, Beck will be off the radio in Philadelphia - at least as it stands now.

Beck and his fellow right-wing gabber Sean Hannity were dumped yesterday by the city’s top-ranked talk-radio outlet, WPHT, The Big Talker (1210-AM), in a shakeup aimed at keepin’ it local.

While Hannity and Beck - nationally the No. 2 and No. 3 most-listened-to talk hosts behind Rush Limbaugh - are scrambling to find a new home in America’s fourth-biggest media market, the shuffle means a more prominent role for locally based Michael Smerconish.

I imagine this is an opportunity for some local 5000 watt station or an FM talk startup.

In my case I listen via an iPhone radio app, which will become more common.

I can hear several other area stations shouting, “Yea!”

This is what Obozo’s little appointee had in mind to silence talk radio.

I would wager to say they are approaching these markets behind our backs.

We will see more of this.

Count on it. If they can’t shut us down with a big bill through Congress, they will simply go at it in another way.

For anyone who has any doubts about how bad Smerconish is here is his interview with Dede Scozzafava a few days after the NY23 election last year.

You have to look at who owns the station, and whether or not they own any other stations in the same market. Sometimes, they don’t take programs off the air, they just shuffle them around from one station to another.

Hannity and Beck could end up at 990, but Medved is pretty decent during the 3 - 6 slot, so if they wanted Hannity there they’d have to move Medved to a delayed pre-recorded broadcast slot. In any event, 770 comes in pretty clear around here and the afternoon broadcast leads right into Levin, so to hell with 1210.

One thing is for sure - - Smerconish is a useless, cowardly nincompoop who will never get a single second of my listening time. That’s a non-starter. Giordano is good, though, and giving him Beck’s slot might work out okay. Personally, I prefer the Beck TV show to his radio show, and that’s enough Beck for me.

The big talker has a crappy signal anyway. In Quakertown I still get WAEB 790 better than 1210. Let these idiots use Squishkonish as their main man. All Obama all the time.
