OK -- so it looks like Air America has been knocked out .. . ???

[defendandprotect]

I've never listened to Lionel in the AM . . .
though I used to listen to someone in that time slot --

Now Thom Hartmann was moved out last week ---
so I'm left with someone named Ed Schultz who sounds like Rush Limbaugh ---
NOT listening to that, but trying to find a connection to Thom Hartmann somewhere ---

And, Randi Rhodes may be forever gone from AAR ---

That's a tremendous loss, folks, during this election cycle ---
If you wanted to do harm to the liberal/progressive movement ...
this would be one of the most effective ways --- !!!

[tishaLA]

1. go to KTLK

http://2005.progressivetalk1150.com/pages/streaming.html

live stream

[defendandprotect]

9. OK - thanks . . . I'll try it later and tomorrow ---

And I guess that Randi Rhodes will still be on somewhere . . . ???

[annabanana]

2. It sounds like you hear WWRL in NY. .

They NEVER had and AAR people on weekend mornings.. and they just kicked Lionel to the curb. I think they still have Rachel Maddow in the early evening slot...

NYC deserves a better venue for progressive talk than this weak signal...

[defendandprotect]

12. AAR stinks at this point ---

My station is 1600 am with really poor reception ---
if you can believe that --- !!!


And weekends are a total loss ---
Often I'm listening in the car when I'm out so have to rely on what I can tune in --

Lionel was a disaster --- a former right-wing host?

Rachel Maddow is good, but late for me at night ---
I like to see her on Olbermann --- did you notice how they're changing her appearance???

Maddow was adorable in the freshness of her appearance --- natural.
They've got her pretty gussied up now with make-up and slicked down hair!

Wow -- we all deserve better than this --- which is why I'm saying this is contrived ---
planned ---

They needed to get rid of Randi and Hartmann --- too much info getting thru the pipeline ---

[fascisthunter]

3. Sam Seder is Good

but I still hear ya..... AAr needs a colon cleansing in upper management.

[ClassWarrior]

4. Sam Seder used to be in the slot that Lionel took.

Did Lionel finally go away? I listen to KPHX, which airs Stephanie Miller at that time, and Thom Hartmann when Schultz is on (Google 'em). And half of what you mention isn't AAR. It's just your local affiliate.

NGU.

[tularetom]

5. Got DSL or cable modem?

Lotsa stations available on line.

KPTK (Seattle) carries Hartmann, Rachel Maddow as well as Schultz and Stephanie Miller.

1480 KPHX (Phoenix) carries a good lineup of leftie talkers.

Air America has a death wish. I've never seen management as poor as they've shown. But not hearing Lionel is no loss.

[defendandprotect]

13. Yeah -- and thanks for the help . . . and I will check it out . . .

but when I'm out I'm dependent on what I can tune in via my car radio --- no satellite radio.

And, now I have to explore all the stations and find out what times they are on --

I used to just put AAR on early in the day and that was it til early evening ---

at home or out --

Lots of readjustment --- !!!

Thanks, again ---

[movonne]

6. I don't listen to talk radio...but I love Thom Hartmann..anyone know

why he left Air America???

[SeattleGirl]

10. Thom didn't leave AAR. n/t

[OwnedByFerrets]

11. I am listening to Thom right now on AA......

am I hallucinating??:evilgrin:

[defendandprotect]

15. I think what happened is that WWRL???? dropped him and therefore I can't

hear him on AAR in my area any more ..... !!!

Wherever you are, you're still getting him ---

What's his topic today?

Where are you --- I'm in Central NJ ---

[OwnedByFerrets]

25. I am fortunate to be able to listen online.....

I know not everyone is that fortunate.....the environment(global warming) and its political and economic implications are a big part of todays show.

[annabanana]

27. (he was dropped by some affiliates, not by AAR). . . .n/t

[PetrusMonsFormicarum]

7. Don't let Ed Schultz's voice fool you

He is the ANTI-Limbaugh, and a true powerhouse among progressive radio folk.

[defendandprotect]

17. Well, he does sound a lot like Rush though, eh?

I haven't had a chance to judge what he is actually saying ---

In desperation, I may be listening ---

[PetrusMonsFormicarum]

21. Even Limbaugh's dittoheads

think they sound the same.

Maybe the ass clowns will hear something to make them wake up and realize the error of their ways!

[bunkerbuster1]

31. He's ok.

I don't always agree--he had some harsh things to say about Cindy Sheehan, for example, years back--but generally he's one of the good guys. Give him a chance.

[valerief]

8. Yeah, most of who are left are "Rightie" Lefties or Nearly Progressives. nt

edited to fix verb

[movonne]

14. In the original post it said Thom Hartmann moved out....I thought

that he had left Air America...

[Gman]

16. Randi Rhodes quit being effective a couple of years ago

so she's no big loss.

[defendandprotect]

18. Evidently her ratings suggest otherwise . . .

and -- it's a big loss for me ---

[Ronnie Roach]

19. It doesn't matter....the genie is out of the bottle!

After a decade of right wing talk, listeners want to hear the other side of the coin. Maybe, Nova M or even Pacifica will rise to occasion when Air America leaves a void. The big fallacy is so-call Liberal talk is not marketable. Air America proved that's not true. The political right had a monopoly on talk radio. There is a crack in the Dam and that's progressive radio.
If it's makes you feel better, only 9% of the U.S population listening to talk radio.

20. Shultz is not on AAR and he is no Limbaugh

[madrchsod]

22. ed works for the jones network

i think mama in the morning does too

[OwnedByFerrets]

26. You are correct with

both statements.:)

[defendandprotect]

29. Yes . . . AAR just moved Ed Schultz into the 12-3pm Thom Hartmann spot ---!!!

[bdamomma]

23. Mike Malloy (Nova M) is still here.

thank goodness, I would be lost without him.

Love Sam and Rachel.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

24. We don't have Air America on our local radio.

So I have to pay for XM Radio.

You would think the FOURTH largest city in the country (right behind New York, Chicago and L.A.) would have a talk radio station with liberal talk, but NOOOOOOOO!!!!!

:banghead:

[annabanana]

28. NYC is not well served.. low voltage, not all the hosts. . . . n/t

[defendandprotect]

30. Yeah . . . kind of accidentally on purpose . . . like NYC isn't liberal---!!!

What BS the right-wing tells --- propaganda 24/ 7 ---

Same with NJ ---

[KoKo]

32. More Crap and Spin from those who either Support AAR...or who want to UNDERMINE IT..

More crap and spin and then they work to defund it by pitting one against the other while the RIGHT WING LIVES ON...with HUGE MEDIA ATTENTION.

Our Lefties of the Center do more to hurt us that help us...but it is what it is. :puke:

[alfredo]

33. It's on iTunes. Listening to it now. It runs on Windows too.
