KPTK Post-Franken

J

JustaLissner

Any idea what KPTK is going to do with Al Franken's slot in the lineup after his last show today? They asked for listeners' input and I suggested live and local. Knowing there is no way in hell. Too expensive & they aren't equipped. Their website indicates that perhaps they're moving Randi Rhodes back up to the earlier slot & plugging in Mike Malloy later in the evening. Suppose this is the long-term strategy or a short-term "fix" while they work on something permanent?

What will this do to their listenership? Seems like with the biggest, possibly most important presidential election in our lifetime coming in 2008 they should be poised for very impressive rating increases. Liberal talk in Seattle- what could be more fitting? But with the constant changes & fluctuations at Air America is it going to work?
 
I hope they do move Randi Rhoades to the earlier time slot, as much as I like Rachel Maddow's show i'd even like to hear Randi on after Ed Schultz then Maddow with Sam Seder on after that.
I don't much care for Malloy's show and don't see why there was such an outcry when Air America didn't renew his contract.
I have heard that Thom Hartmann is going to take Franken's place with Air America, what that means to his show on KPOJ i'm not sure.

It means nothing. His KPOJ show is 6-9 and he's on AAR (now on the main feed) from 9-noon. Seattle was one of the few markets clearing him live vs. Franken, and now Schultz.
