WjR is another station that's gone down the tubes. Other than Rush, and other than The Appliance Doctor, they totally suck. Since handing over their evenings to pre-recorded shows, they've become a "former radio station" in my book.
And when is David Newman coming back?
Actually, if 1310 WXDX would pick up Rush and dump Tony Trupiano, my radio would never leave it. I like Dave and Laurel in the morning (Dave is a flaming Lib but Laurel and Rick Bloom tell him off constantly). In fact, if they got Neil Boortz or Laura Ingram, I'd go to Rush 24/7 for his show.
Paul W can be pretty hard hitting when the need be.
Moving from Metro Detroit over to Jackson County had a big benefit -- I now get Sean Hannity after Rush on WKHM. I couldn't stand Mitch Albom!
The morning conservative talk show host left after a bit of local controversy about a month ago. I keep hoping they'll add the Tony Snow Show to their AM roster.
I listen to Hannity when I want to blow off steam. I listen to Rush when I feel the need for a good laugh. I listen to Tony when I want to think. All in all, great shows with outstanding programming.
Re David Newman. I haven't heard about him in years. He started out as an on air lib and it was heartening to see him change into a conservative. I think he contracted some kind of illness. I don't look for him to come back. It would be nice, though.
