Paging your Ithaca ping list, Sir.

[Uncledave]

Radio Free Ithaca!

Um, I might be ignorant here...but what's the big deal with Ithaca?

[darkwing104]

The horror, the horror. The libs must be losing their minds about now.

Is the devil wearing ice skates today?


Yes, and he is playing ice hockey.

(Unfortunately all the denizens of Ithaca are frozen up their noses in the rink.)

Oh hell, why not? station # (607-257-6400) Call away freepers!!!!

[LeeHarvey]

It's after 3:00pm ET, do you know where your 'live' Rush is at? ;-)

Perhaps some Ithaca Freeps can post a word of thanks to their station personnel via e-mail at WHCU 870AM

Big Red Dittos!!!!

May I assume you put your tongue firmly in your cheek before speaking? LOL

...because they're getting lots of hate calls, which obviously must be coming from Mid-western conservative strongholds since no liberal from this bastion of tolerance would ever do such a thing!

[tomahawk]

A little light shines in, great.

Psssstttt! Don't tell anyone, but the same station is also carrying Air America! To be honest, I actually think it is a perfectly reasonable use of the public airwaves to carry both programs. Truly fair and balanced.

[Chode]

wanna take bets on how long this station lasts in the Peoples DemocRATic Republic of Ithaca EVIL???

Having been raised in the Northeast, I am still amazed at the virulent Leftism that passes there as business-as-usual. Visiting my elderly mother in Taxachewzits recently, I was deeply concerned over the fact that, when punching the SEEK button on the car radio and surfing around the AM dial, I got no less than 12 different stations broadcasting AIR AMERICA simultaneously. It was almost as if Conservative Talk Radio didn't exist.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised about Ithaca though, as I had some old High School friends of the prototypical northeast-Communist-Jewish-Left specifically move there to escape "conservative" Kennedyland.

Hope they keep him on for a long time. It can't hurt. And I can't wait to hear a few calls from there. LOL!

Ithaca by a significant majority wanted Kuchinich for Pres. in 2004 because Kerry was way too conservative for this Uber liberal populace. That is why having Rush on the air with the signal actually being beamed from Tompkins Co. is a minor miracle. I should start a rumor that it will make locals go deaf or something to that effect to have his voice coming out of our to radio tower. People around here would actually believe it--they are that out there.

Amazing that WHCU picked up Rush. I guess they are tired of the Horseheads, Rochester and Syracuse stations eating them alive in the daytime ratings. After all--Kevin English can only play music 18 hr. instead of 24 hr. a day --local Ithaca joke.

Amazing! What great news..... Good for Rush!
