They've replaced his time slot with Randi on my local progressive radio, and I don't see a place for him elsewhere in the lineup. I was happy to see him today -- I like him and think there's definitely a spot for him. Somewhere.

2. I think he still does an Air America show on Sundays. (AM on the West Coast.) n/t

5. Air America is no more.
I don't know if any other company has picked up Ron Reagan's show. I enjoyed his program. He was alway thoughtful.

14. Ah yeah. It's on a local AM station in my area that used to be Air America affiliate.
I've heard him recently, so I guess he's still being syndicated - or whatever the process is - in some local markets.

:hi:

3. I miss him on the radio, too
It's 10 PM to midnight and Randi is too caustic for me at that time of the evening.

He was with Air America. I hope he finds a home with Jones Radio or whatever it's called.

4. KPTK, the Seattle progressive station, was going to have him continue
his show after AAR folded, but he decided to get out of radio for awhile (or so the station announcement said). I had heard that he was shopping his show around, but I haven't heard any details.

I really hope he gets back on the air again soon. I loved his show.

8. That's what I'd hoped for -- KPTK is my station, too, so I was disappointed
that he disappeared. I hadn't read or heard the station announcement, so thanks.

6. He's my favorite!
I keep asking MSNBC to give him a show!

PS Like your avatar... ;-)

10. I'm wondering if he'll get a 'guest' spot on MSNBC like he was today. Tweety
said "I miss you when you're not here!"

Yes, we THE avatar. I have it so I don't become complacent and forget (same reason I have the tag line I do.) Hopefully, there will come a day when neither applies -- no longer needing our attention. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

7. I Miss Him On WCPT In Chicago.....
after AAR went down the tubes they replaced Ron with Nor-Man Gold-Man and I'm having a hard time listening to him. He's too loud and kind of obnoxious. Ron was soft spoken and had a very intelligent show that was a pleasure listening to. I miss him and hope he turns up again soon.

9. We have Nor-man, too, but he was there before AAR closed down. KPTK used
to have Randi on at 6pm, but then she was replaced by Ron -- now she's back.

He was a pleasure listening to. Agree, very intelligent. Wish him the best!

12. I really wish KPTK would stop making lame excuses not to air programs live
They used to air Ron Reagan live and kicked him aside for Schultz' sidekick Norm. Now that Ron is gone altogether, there's nothing preventing them from airing Mike Malloy at 6:00 like they should have been doing all along.

Randi? Sorry, she was dead to me when she started kissing DLC ass after she moved inside the Beltway. I swear it's in the water or the air there or something. Trashing Keith Olbermann's health care special was the last straw.

13. Randi is OK but I don't want Malloy at 6:00. Ron is returning when
he completes his syndication deal. I think That is slated for march 1.

17. Thanks! I'm happy to hear that. I couldn't find any info on him, doesn't seem
to have a website (that I could locate anyway) -- so I appreciate the info! :hi:

15. The "time to trash KO" show was the last time I listened to her as well!
Now, I enjoy the daily triumvirate of Stephanie, Thom Hartmann, and Ed Schultz.

16. I hope he gets a new radio show.

Sad to see his show go after Air America went bust - I like him. At least his appearances on the cable news channels should pay the bills for him.
