It will be conservatives listening and keeping him on the air.

A three hour show??? What are they calling it? Al Franken: The Cure For Insomnia?

[Hot Tabasco]

As a liberal-leaner, I'm concerned about this. I've seen a lot of interviews with Franken, and while I find him an effective writer,

Actually his writing isn't very effectual either. For someone to write a book and name it "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Liar" and then have only one page in the entire book dedicated to his allegation, that proves a disgusting attempt to reap financial rewards via the coattails of a popular radio personality........

In summation, Franken is an irrelevant little twit who has already had his 15 minutes of fame but is trying to drag it out into a half hour.......Take the advise of a previous Freeper, don't buy stock in the show!

[yooper]

This show is DOA, mark my words. As for Rush giving Franken advice; Rush is too smart to get down in the gutter with a pig........

Liberals don't listen to talk radio. They listen to music or shock-jock carnival programs.

Can't believe these morons trying to start liberal talk radio have not figured out this basic fact.

There is no mystery about the rise and huge popularity of conservative talk radio. It has little to do with Rush. You could take Rush out of it tomorrow and put Rodger Hedgecock in and things would go right along as usual.

Smart people eventually move towards conservatism. Deluded low-brows who want to believe in fairy-tales are the foot soldiers of liberalism being driven by manipulating Leftist charlatans.

Walsh, who serves as CEO of Progress Media, also said the new network had reached its first major distribution agreement, with the Chicago AM station WNTD. He said he expects to announce at least three other distribution deals in the coming weeks.

Check out Al's Chicago station,http://www.radiounica.com/rad/home.aspx. He definietely in the Front Row!

[Huck]

That's a great idea. Even I figured out Frankenstein. That's a show that would be worth listening to.

[LonePalm]

don't buy stock!

With Franken and Dean, can we sell short?

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!

the entrepreneurs who dream of launching a liberal radio network

A liberal radio will never, ever make it! In contrast to the majority of the working class Americans, most of whom are conservative, most of the liberal americans who are being targeted are the idiots who sit home all day watching the likes of Oprah and Springer. They have no time for a.m. talk radio!

Here in the Detroit area the most noteworthy socialist hack was some joker named Likus! For some reason he ain't being broadcast around here anymore, at least not in the prime evening hours. The local guy, Mitch Albom, was supposed to have a sports show but he has now become political. He may be socialist but he certainly ain't nationwide. FWIW, he follows Rush.

[The Raven]

Maybe we can get Seminar Callers. What fun would that be????

[gaspar]

Originally, the plan was to call it the Progressive Network, not the Progress Network. Perhaps it is a typo, but I would rather believe that someone got wise to the word "progressive". It has carried a Marxist aura ever since the days of Henry Wallace and his covy of fellow-travellers and hardline Marxists.

AM radio station "WNTD"?

Ha ha - that's a little 1,000 Watt daytime station on 950 kHz from near the center of Chicago during the day -

- and at night they broadcast from a site SSE of Chicago and a LOT closer to Hammond Indiana ...

Licensee: RADIO UNICA OF CHICAGO LICENSE CORP.

AM radio station "WNTD" FCC info here.

I heard that the little creep said that last night. If that's his idea of humor, I don't think he'll last very long.

I saw that "joke" -- that's pretty pathetic.

[cookcounty]

Chicago radio WNTD? Never heard of it.

...What business oriented company would pay to advertise on a network designed to reach people who openly hate business?....

It isn't a business. It's a way to get around campaign finance reform.

"He has no one on the show but it's confrontation," Franken said. "His show is just him railing for three hours."

Typical liberal dismissing of regular folk. Rush has plenty of people on his show, they're called callers.
