She is the Les Nesman of our times. Mark my words. This woman is going places! I listen to her nearly every day. She is my twin sister, separated at birth, LOL!

I wonder about the talk show world--here in Boston, Air America is gasping for breath, while Rush and Howie Carr are doing fine.

Maybe libs just can't handle media without pictures.

Vicki is clearly the voice of reason to Blue State America, as Saint Paul was to Nero's Rome.

Hopefully, she will not meet the same fate that Paul did.

Doing a conservative talk show in Madison Wi takes some courage. I think I would rather stick my hand in a tank full of piranhas, than do this show in Madison.

I wonder if she has ever gotten threatened by anyone. This is not a town that is interested in a right wing point of view.

Thanks for this post, Diana, I enjoyed reading it.

We need many more Vicki McKennas and Melanie Morgans (SF CA) in this world!

Vicki McKenna is a very brave young lady.

Does she wear body armor...???

I think she's a really good host, from the times I've listened to her.

I don't drive through Madistan very often anymore, and I'm just out of range from most of the TV/Radio networks. Most of the time when I do get them, they're overshadowed by Milwaukee stations that are nearby on the dial.

Thus I ended up usually listening to Belling on the ride home from work--when I had my car.

Keep me posted if anything happens worth noting... http://fantalkback2talkhosts.myfreeforum.org

Is this the same station where Chris Krok was the morning guy before he came to Minneapolis? I know he was a conservative in MadTown that got hammered on a regular basis but held his own against the immoral majority.

What station is air america on? If they can't make it in MA, they can't make it anywhere!

The name Chris Krok doesn't sound familiar at all.

I've been listening to Vicki for years. She totally knocked both Stu (Sour Grapes) Levitan and John Peterson (especially John Peterson) OUT of the ballpark. It was really amusing to listen to a logical, conservative woman speaking FACTS when those two doorknobs were all about "their feelings." LOL!

I kind of miss it, but Vicki more than makes up for it. And really, she's never, EVER mean or rude to the libs that call in to disagree or harrass her...she just lets them babble on and hang themselves. *Smirk*

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Thanks.

Sorry for being lazy. He was at WTDY AM for two and a half years. I'm not familiar with that one. You?

Air America is on AM 1200 in the Boston area -- that is, IF it's still on the air. I haven't checked for several weeks. I occasionally listen in for a few good laughs.

[MichiganCheese]

My liberal brother and sister-in-law live in Madison and think it is too conservative there!

[Jotmo]

Bump for me.

I live about 4 blocks for Beloit Collage. I'll have to tune in after Rush tomorrow, if I can get it.

[rock58seg]

There is now a an mp3 like device for recording liberal talk radio. It's called an Iputz.

Thanks!

May God give her a large following.
