Gee, could it be that the people who voted for Obama don’t really have any ideas worth discussing?
Socialists just never learn.
Dumb business move. They should’ve known that the voters (who keep the TV locked on Jerry Springer and Maury) would return home to their bongs and crack pipes. Radio requires actually ‘listening’.
It gets boring after a while.
How many times can you say, “I love Obama, I love Obama, I love Obama, I love Obama, I love Obama, I love Obama, I love Obama, I love Obama, I love Obama, I love Obama, I love Obama,” before even the most dedicated Obama-lovers get tired of it and switch stations?
Even if you find 57 different ways of saying, “I love Obama.”
It was also the station itself. I live in Fairfax, near fairfax City...Station doesn’t come! You can’t get the station is most of northern VA.
Yes, I would try to listen...just to keep up with what the enemy is doing!!!
What part of "cult of personality" does Ed Morrissey not understand? The personality in question is Obama, not Ed Schultz, Stephanie Miller, or Bill Press. This election was not an endorsement of liberalism.
The morons never do any market research into their demographics. Because they can get a few dozen white libs together who think alike, they then assume that untold millions are ready to tune into crackpot radio.
Liberals are dismayed to discover that AM signals are extremely weak in their Moms’ basements.
How many hours can you listen to “I hate BushRoveCheneyHaliburton and I want to have Obama’s baby” over and over before your mind goes to mush? (Of course, how many of these folks had minds of mush to begin with?)
This doesn’t bode well for Obama’s plans for his follower’s have ‘cult parties’ in their homes across the country to promote his porkulus bill either....LOL!!
Wonder what they’ll do with Screwball and Osama bin Olbermann on MSLSD - if possible, I’m sure they’re ratings will go ever lower - they can’t bash Bush and Chrissy still has a tingle going up his leg. I imagine Jon Stewart and Bill Maher are going to watch their cable ratings droop as well. And yet Limbaugh/Levin/Hannity still ride higher than high in their markets. Do we have any new figures on their market shares since the coronation?
Missed the NBC pre-game (5 HOURS??) because I heard Overbite was going to be on it.
“The move ... leaves the city without a liberal radio outlet.”
Not true. NPR and WTOP are still on the air. As well as 89.3’s brand of “Jazz and Justice Radio.” Can’t get more lefty than them, but their Saturday morning music show is fantastic. And who knows what’s being broadcast over all the Spanish AM stations.
Personally, I can’t stand WTOP: I don’t need to hear what time every 3 minutes.
Well duh. There’s already fawning Obama TV, Obama newspapers, Obama magazines, hell the grocery store was selling Obama socks, there’s not much of a market niche left for yet another form of worship.
Libs don’t need talk radio. Most of them don’t know and don’t care what Obama does as long as they get some darn pie.
Obama carried DC by something like 92-8%.
But liberal talk radio won’t even worth there.
It’s a conundrum, I tell you.
What this needs is a good. HA-ha Nelson picture
‘Freedom 570’ used to be ‘McCain 570’
The Washington DC radio station calling itself Obama 1260 and featuring liberal talk stalwarts Bill Press, Ed Schultz, and Stephanie Miller has given up the ghost already, a victim of undetectable ratings. Howard Kurtz: The area's only progressive talk station is changing formats, dropping such syndicated liberal hosts as Ed Schultz, Stephanie Miller and Bill Press in favor of financial news, starting next week. The move by Redskins owner Dan Snyder, who purchased the station, WWRC, and others in Washington last summer, leaves the city without a liberal radio outlet... But ratings nearly doubled, he says, at Snyder's conservative station, WTNT, which features Laura Ingraham and Bill Bennett.Why advertise on a commercial liberal format talk station when government supported NPR broadcasts the same liberal swill with no ads?
