[llevrok]

Laura Ingraham calls him Non Reagan

[raccoonradio]

Laura I’s nickname for one of those hosts: Ron Reagan-Not-A-Junior

[raccoonradio]

>>Non Reagan

ooh that’s even better!

[Gay State Conservative]

Gee...poor Ron Reagan.What a worthless putz.

[rottndog]

So....Left Wing Radio fails in Left Wing Washington....

We need the Fairness Doctrine!

[Badeye]

Well, he can always join the travelling ballet troupe....(chuckle)

[unspun]

I wonder...

...has anyone checked Ron Reagan for any adult stem cells?

[DennisR]

My thoughts exactly!!!

[RckyRaCoCo]

Ron(non)Reagan, beat with an ugly stick, beat with a stupid stick and now given a pink slip.

[DennisR]

Not sure you can find anything “adult” in a liberal... :)

[AU72]

I thought good ballet talk radio would sell in Seattle?

[TexasCajun]

Must be that time of the year.

Houston's 950AM & 740AM have shaken up their lineups.

..both are Clear-Channel I believe.

[SevenofNine]

Hey karl that cold getting dump for another person even if your last name is Reagan OUCH

How come Nancy kids with Ronnie turn out be mess up while Ronnie kids with Jane Wyman turn out be a-okay

Is generational thingy here

[RinaseaofDs]

Dori’s a conservative? Since when?

[raccoonradio]

The Blather Watch liberal blog does mention how “liberal
talk is failing” but they also go on to say conservative
radio is too

Libtalk has been off in Boston since Dec of last year

BLATHER WATCH:
>>Seattle arbitron ratings: liberal talk sucks, so does KVI- has everybody gone satellite? The Spring ‘07 Arbitron ratings book in the vital 25-54 demo for the Seattle market are in. And yikes!

~ Liberal talk KPTK is tanking across the board- down 66% overall. Stephanie Miller (6-9a) lost 40%; Thom Hartmann (9a-12p) plunged 63%; Ed Shultz is in the bucket 68%; our Rachel Maddow is down 50%, and Randy Rhodes lost 33% of her audience. The only host who got over 1% of the audience was Mike Malloy- and even he dove 64%. Has everyone taken to reading blogs?

~ Konservative KVI: dead man talking between 9a and 6p.
KVI is down 14% overall; Kirby Wilbur (5a-9p) gained a few points but his is the brightest spot in the dim dayparts with a middling 2.6 share. It goes down from there

[Who dat?]

Never heard Ron Reagan.

Michael had (maybe still does) a talk show that was probably among the most information-packed shows on earth.

The only problem was that I couldn’t bear to sit through more than 10 minutes of it at a time…
