AFRTS has several program streams available. An "AM" talk/info format and "FM" music and entertainment shows. What is available in a particular area depends on the facilities. On ships, satellite delivery is supplemented by shortwave program delivery. On land, low powered AM and FM transmitters provide coverage in clusters of military housing. On many bases, cable radio delivery is provided for programming not broadcast over the air.

More of your Cool Whip posts, oh boy. How about contributing something meaningful beyond these bumper sticker hit and run deals.

Okay,
Why don't you and the multi-talented bloggers on this thread
give CONCRETE reasons why you have such a problem with people
who have, on more than one occasion, proven you wrong?
Seldom is the issue the issue.
I'll give you the fact that the country is in a world of hurt,
but make up your minds as to who is responsible.
And this time, try coming up with an original thought, not
something that you have pasted from the democratic script.
How's that for a Cool Whip bumper sticker?

With a moniker like The Spindoctor I should probably be working
for the left, huh?

Is there any way for regular joe citizen not living close to a military base to take a listen to the AFRTS radio streams on the internet?

Phillip,

Is there any way for regular joe citizen not living close to a military base to take a listen to the AFRTS radio streams on the internet?

I asked you before, provide an example of what was "proven wrong." Cough something up before you ask us to reply.

> Seldom is the issue the issue.

Thanks, Don Rumsfeld. When is the issue the issue?

More empty rhetoric.

When you spin as fast as you are right now, all you get is dizzy.

No, we heard about your interview with Al Franken, you didn't seem to demonstrate the ability to pierce what you define as "spin" with him so we don't need you on the left. Maybe Rita Cosby or Larry King can hire you as an "asst. softball specialist."

Otherwise to paraphrase as Dampier says "its all cool whip"
