1190 KNUV TOLLESON/PHOENIX *SILENT*

1190 KNUV TOLLESON/PHOENIX (formerly 1190 NOVA-M) has been *SILENT* all day, Thursday, March 5, 2009.

This is unfortunate for liberal radio - as the format has recently lost San Diego, Austin, Eugene (OR), Ashland-Medford (OR), and Miami's WINZ-AM (940) has or is about to move to all sports.

Atlanta is also history, except for LPAM (low power AM) "Green 1640" in Decatur, GA.

Over the long run, w/ conservative Mitt Romney/Bain Capital now running Clear Channel liberal talk stations, many all-liberal stations will probably only succeed on independently owned class C, D stations along w/ low power AM and low power FM.
 
They're back on the air as of this morning - en Español.
 
Si, se puede*



* or as the Nearly Bald One pronounces it, pway-dah

Liberal espanol? ::)

I hear "radio formula," a Mexican news/talk network out of Mexico City. When the station was, "La Buena Onda" they used to take programming from there also. My Spanish is limited, but it sounds like, "Somos Grupo Formula" at the top of the hour, with the local ID overlayed on the Network audio.
 
It's called keeping the station on the air until a buyer or an LMA comes along.

The strange thing is that they're still streaming liberal programming (Mike Malloy is on now) and IDing it as "Eleven Ninety, KNUV." They're also running a help wanted ad for sales reps for KNUV.

The people responsible for the On Second Thought/1190 KNUV streaming are the old Nova M/On Second Thought bunch. I can't be sure, but according to someone at the building, the studios remain padlocked as of today (Mar 6), the computer automation is still operating so that could explain why it's still pumping the old KNUV commercials and promos onto the old stream. It is a little freaky to hear it. It sounded like the morning news on that stream was a replay of Dewey Hopper's news from Wednesday.

After getting burned on this LMA, it looks like KNUV's owner, New Radio Venture, intends to run the station itself from a new studio location downtown someplace. The LMA with Nova M was supposedly an interim step towards Nova M actually purchasing KNUV, which they never did. An LMA is probably not in the future. Then again, what if someone says they will buy the station? Ya just never know.

I discovered that the Nova M/On Second thought network shows, Nancy Skinner and Mike Malloy, are now feeding the satellite directly using ISDN. That's smart. It means they can hold on to the old Nova M network affiliates and keep a ready to go network. Detroit is set up as the new network location, but by whom? I wonder how this all came down, and who is funding the new ops? Lets see, who has money these days? I don't know anyone like that any more. :-X
 
Mike Malloy won't go anywhere nationally until he quits using inflammatory 4 and 5 letter words - too offensive to religious groups and conservatives, especially in Arizona. He said tonight (on the KTLK L.A. audio stream) that he will never do his program as part of a company again, after getting burned by Air American and NOVA-M. He also says Air America still owes him $114,000.00 dollars. And, next Wednesday, the new number for the show will be: 1-877-89-MALLOY 8)

I'm surprised that he gets away with that kind of language. It's awful to hear it on the radio. It gives license to all of us to speak and act inappropriately in public that way. I wish broadcasters would recognize that as long as they have a mic in hand, they are instructors on public behavior. Rudeness, false public accusation, and course language never gets us anywhere worthwhile, in my opinion, unless of course the objective is to divide and conquer us as a society. All the loud mouths out there, regardless of their political or religious motivations, ought to take heed to the damage they are doing to our way of life on a day to day basis. To me, it's simply shameful how the radio and TV media are being used by unbridled, selfish interests, to damage a society that once believed in civil behavior.

I heard an insightful Dennis Prager say one day that he's never seen this nation so divided, and that he simply didn't know why. I wanted to tell him and a number of other political and religious radio and TV people, "Look in the Mirror!" They forgot that the so called, "culture wars" were started by them. Now it's Divide and conquer. We are all their victims until or unless we see what they have been doing to us in the public square. Let's call them what they are. They are mob leaders, cult figures and nothing more, and they're using the public broadcast spectrum to do their worst. Shame on them all. Freedom of Speech? Yeah, right.

Did anyone see the TV story about gun and ammo sales skyrocketing? Under the circumstances, without voices of unity and with only the megaphones of divisiveness, it makes sense that the camps are arming themselves.

You're right about Mike Malloy, but he'll always have an appeal to the angry among us. Hmmm. Let me check his broadcast schedule again.

Got to run. It's time for me to check my blood pressure. ;)
 
I agree about voices of MODERATION! However, Mike Malloy is simply the Rush Limbaugh of the left wing. Rush is equally offensive to those on the left as Mike is to those on the right. To be fair, Rush ([EDIT]) has a HUGE audience which is a sad commentary on our currently divided society.

Maybe the Michael Savage of the left, but not Rush. There is no "Rush Limbaugh of the Left." No liberal talker can come even close. Randi Rhodes might be considered the Sean Hannity of the left, at least as far as on-air demeanor goes, but that's about as close as it gets.

To be fair, Rush ([EDIT]) has a HUGE audience which is a sad commentary on our currently divided society.

Liberal radio dies, and of course its a conspiracy by evil conservatives...

The ones that have shows that garner ratings and have listeners, shame on them for succeeding!

Well, you always have the endlessly dull NPR with their perpetual fund raising drives....zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

malloy just needs to be on a couple hours later. 6p or 7p is just a little early for his style.

Societies (at least, free societies) are always divided, that's why most have multi-party systems. It happens to be a good thing.

Well tell me then, how else do you explain Boston, MA having 3 conservative stations and no progressive stations? Massachusetts doesn't even have 1 single republican congressional seat. In fact, in one of their districts, the contest was between the democrats and the socialist party; a republican wasn't even on the ballot.

Why does New York City have 3 full power conservative talk stations and only one progressive talk on a terrible signal?

Care to explain Washington DC radio?

So if its not a conspiracy as you say, why is boston's radio dial "redder" than most of the deep south? Really? The free market? I think scientific explanation will fail you here.
