Mark Levin Returns To Atlanta on 106.7

It was announced 2 weeks ago on his show (monitored via WBAP 820) that he would return to Atlanta airwaves "in a roundabout way." He stated at that time there were "some big time broadcasters in Atlanta that didn't want him on in Atlanta."
Mark is a part of a new genre of talk radio called "Yell Radio" where the host yells at you. He, Michael Savage and Alex Jones are "yellers."
When they yell at you, you better pay attention, because its important.
 
So I guess since 106.7 can't compete as "mostly news", its time to go "talk". They can try all they want to sound like WSB but at the end of the day, they don't have the experience broadcasters or the connections. I'm not fond of the talkers on WSB radio (not libertarian enough for me) but when it comes to breaking news either locally, domestically, or internationally; WSB kills 106.7 each and every time. There is literally no competition.

When 106.7 first hit the the air, it caused WSB to tighten up and sound better. The difference was very noticeable, and 106.7 never got off the ground as a result. At least some competition is good, and I hope 106.7 sticks around instead of playing dead like WGST (who?) did.


WSB may not like Mark Levin coming to ATL because Sean Hannity occasionally talks about him ("The Great One") and gives him free promotion.
 
106.7 has been all-talk except for the Braves games and morning and afternoon newsblocks since Michael Graham started a year and a half ago. They had been using revolving talk show hosts in the evening up until the Levin show started.
