Well, I sure as hell ain't going to listen to that little bitch.

[VOYAGER]

Who would not prefer to hear three hours of "Mary Had A Little Lamb" or "Three Blind Mice" or "The Three Bears" or just three hours of nothing but Nursery Rhymes rather than the Dembutts who live in a world of unreality all their own?

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

[Rainbow Rising]

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

[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........

[nothingnew]

co-hosted by the environmental activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called "Champions of Justice...who's first investigation for the furtherence of justice will be Ted "the fat, drunken, philandering,lying, mudering POS" Kennedy, in a reopening of the Chappaquidic murder of JoAnn Kopechne.

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.

[Hot Tabasco]

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????

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 ...

Chicago radio WNTD? Never heard of it.

"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.

[freekitty]

I vote that his sidekick will be Michael Moore or the Klintoons.

[Pelham]

Three hours a day of Stuart Smalley. That's gonna work.

[Rocky]

Al Franken's a comedian? Who knew?

[DennisR]

Al who?

[CyberAnt]

There better not be a "daily thread" about this bozo.

He does not deserve any attention!

>>They haven't got a name or a launch date yet

Hoping to get on by the time Bush takes the oath of
office for his second term :)

>>the startup company that is assembling radio stations and talent for a radio network to challenge conservative talk show powerhouses like Limbaugh.

They have to _buy their own stations_ to put this stuff on!
The conservative shows--the ones that HAVE listeners
and MAKE money-- don't need to do this.


>>But Franken had been holding off in recent months, partly to promote his hot-selling book

Yikes--he's a capitalist! Bad news, Comrade...

>>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.

According to radio-locator.com, this station (AM 950) is currently broadcasting in espanol with 1,000 watts day, 5,000 watts (directional) night. Not exactly 50,000 watts.

>> another new show to be co-hosted by the environmental activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called "Champions of Justice."

Wow! That sounds exciting!!

>>Franken said his contract with Progress Media would last just one year

The network should last 4 or 5 months, though
