Though WBAI has been taking hits lately incl funding drying up, broadcasting issues after Super Storm Sandy, etc.
>>Last November, progressive stations in Portland, Ore., and Seattle switched to all-sports formats.
(Because sports, and conserv talk MAKE MONEY)
>>Angry progressives claim such moves could also have a political motivation: Clear Channel is owned in part by Bain Capital, the private equity firm once run by Mitt Romney
(Thanks Mitt! Actually he ran Bain many years ago...)
(...he used Maddow, Schultz, and "popular" in same sentence?)
>>listeners who want a liberal take on the news can find it on hundreds of National Public Radio stations.
(THAT I agree with!)
There has never been one.
Nothing to talk about.
That article is a string of Liberal nutball conspiracy theories worthy of the darkest corners of the DUmmysphere.
Liberal Talk died because they weren’t selling ads. Because you can’t sell ad time to pitch to people who basically hate Capitalism.
You’ll just continue to take money out of my wallet to subsidize Liberal PUBLIC radio anyhow.
Let me guess; "noncommercial" is Libspeak for "public broadcasting".
Which is itself Libspeak for "taxpayer funded".
ooh, ooh, I know this one! Video.
Liberals have short attention spans.
Yep. Classic case of a product that sucks and nobody wants it, but **SOMEONE** thinks it is viable and being crushed by evil conservatives...:)
Incorrect. I work at a small town radio station on weekends. Our ad time is always completely sold out.
What's hard is persuading businesses to advertise on radio stations that spew hatred of free enterprise.
Commercial radio depends upon listeners who buy the advertisers products. Consider the audience for liberal radio.
Why would anyone want to advertise when the same people get public dollars to push Marxism. Two Americas, the self-sufficient, taxpayer and the Socialist leech.
Librals hate, and that is not appealing. All they talk about is pitting people against each other, this person has too much, that person is greedy, another person is holding someone down. I don’t even think liberals want to tune in to listen to that every day.
As I’ve said before: (commercial Lib talk radio): “So, all these huge corporations that exploit workers—Walmart, Big Oil, they’re all eeeeeeeeeevil! Well, we’ll be right back after this, uh... _Public service announcement_...”
We almost got NPR/PBS defunded but fell short, damn...
Bwaaaaaaa ha ha ha ha haaaaaa!!!
Spewed coffee on laptop alert!
MUCH LARGER audiences????
Bwaaaaa ha ha ha ha haaaaaa!!!
“Morning Edition,” “All Things Considered” and “Marketplace,” three public radio staples with a total audience that exceeds Limbaugh and Hannity combined.
Hahahaha, one can only laugh at their delusions.
A liberal radio star???
I didn’t know there was such a thing.
They began to speak?
Zackly.
There is no understanding Liberalism (aka Progressivism, aka Communism). They prefer to live in the dark. Self-deception is a form of self-preservation.
Why yes, maybe 38 people instead of only 9.
They already have the other media, why do they need radio?
