Duluth to get new AAR station??

[robbbc]

The AAR site accidentally posted on the "National" portion of their affiliates page (normally reserved for XM radio) that the following station is now an affiliate:

Duluth-Superior, MN - KQDS-AM 1490 AM

Any truth to it and is it news to anyone?

Thanks!

I inquired on Red and Nater, and caught a snippet of Franken's show where he mentioned it. Sounds like KQDS is indeed carrying AAR.<P ID="signature">______________

The Duluth News-Tribune reported a few weeks ago that KQDS would flip to Air America on 9/6. It didn't mention whether they would still carry Ed Schultz (I'm sure they didn't realize that he's not on the network).

According to <a target="_blank" href=http://www.duluth.com/placed/index.php?sect_rank=5&story_id=207506>this Friday, August 26, 2005 article</a> (scroll about halfway down) from Budgeteer News, KQDS 1490 AM should now be an Air America Radio affiliate and the flip took place at 11:00 AM on this past Tuesday (September 6th).

This is the earlier article from the Duluth News Tribune (Wednesday, August 24, 2005) on this subject: <a target="_blank" href=http://www.duluthsuperior.com/mld/duluthsuperior/news/local/12461020.htm>Liberal radio comes to Duluth</a>.
