WSMB 1350 AM in New Orleans is now listed on Air America Radio's <a target="_blank" href=http://shows.airamericaradio.com/stations>Web site</a>.

So Entercom and Clear Channel still haven't gotten the word that Air America is a "miserable failure?" (Sarcasm).

I made a phone call to WSMB this afternoon. I was told they were supposed to flip to Air America Radio today but they need a part for their satellite receiver. So, rather than make the flip in the middle of this week, they will do it next Monday, July 25th.

Shown as registered to Entercom, who (as far as I know) doesn't own another station at 1350AM.

I figured Entercon liked having a station they could keep some of the conservative talkers away from the other stations... I figure AAR was coming to Nola but when and where I didn't know, but now we do... with a good signal to boot...

Anyone know if WSMB is carrying it all, or if they will share coast to coast with WWL still?

Nah, it'll be on WWL only after the flip to AAR. Now that move makes sense.

Not much to it, but 1380 in BR has their site up...it's under their old address as I'm sure they're trying to find a proper one. I checked am1380.com and that's taken. But you can see their logo if you're that interested.

Don't know if they maybe would even change as they still have the Home Improvement Show and Travel Show from it's previous days...But I see it's not just cookie cuttering AAR material as http://www.talkradio1380.com/schedule.html shows multiple sources including AAR,Premiere,ABC, and Jones.... I wonder what WSMB will be like? Cookie cutter or a mix like this?

What I find weird is WSMB decided to go more after the whole AAR lineup unlike WYNK-AM... Is it because NOLA is a bigger city and AAR put it in their contract?

YNK-AM on the weekend has Jesse Jackson (from Premeier Radio networks), I wonder if this will be on SMB or not as I beleive this would be a ratings booster considering the beleivers in Jackson.

Also two key words on Fitzsmorris, ratings and infomercial..can't deny that revenue....

WSMB's new Web site

Currently there is a splash page at <a target="_blank" href=http://www.progressivetalk1350.com/>http://www.progressivetalk1350.com/</a> that simply says:

WSMB AM 1350
Progressive Talk

Welcome to radio
for the REST of New Orleans...
...KEEP LISTENING!!


--------------------
I do not live in the area but am curious what is currently airing on the station. Are they carrying the regular programming or stunting or did they put on Air America Radio after they received and connected their satellite receiving equipment (which would mean not waiting until Monday, July 25, as I was told they were going to do after the original launch was postponed this past Monday)?

Can we say it's better than turning people off by saying Liberal? Progressive will make people try it who are middle of the road or somewhat moderate compared to saying your a liberal talker (which people assume as very leftist), just as the negativity of conservative radio (which people assume are always very right leaning)

But the Thesaurus says it best:

Not narrow or conservative in thought, expression, or conduct: broad, broad-minded, liberal, open-minded, tolerant.
Favoring civil liberties and social progress:
