Radio Free Ohio will cease operations on Friday March 30th@8:58am.

While Progessive Radio is surviving in parts of the country, it has not in Akron. In two years ratings have not improved, and revenue has declined, despite the remainder of the market seeing an increase in revenue.

It's amazing. Liberal radio can survive in NPR markets and can thrive in Pacifica markets.

Otherwise, it's a saturated market.

A failed commodity it seems. So much for liberals trying their hand at radio.

Thus making it another shining example of liberal "success".

Obviously more regulation is needed to keep "balance" on the airwaves...

If NPR was not on welfare, it WOULD close.

Is America a great country, or what?

And Al "Lips" Franken drove the final nail into the richly deservd coffin of liberal talk radio.

Liberal talk RADIO CANNOT survive simply because the libs/socialists/marxists CANNOT DEAL WITH CALLERS WHO DESTROY THEIR IDIOTIC EMOTION BASED COMMENTARIES WITH REASON, LOGIC AND HISTORY.

Libs wouldn't even listen to it. They're not that stupid.

I would think "progressive" could be the worst possible word you could hear from your physician.

Gangrene is progressive.

They need to borrow/redefine another word for their next bit of destruction of the English language. This one is shot.
