Prog Talk w/o AAR

From what I read, O'Reilly is the last person who should be talking about numbers - or stations dropping shows.

In a lot of markets, NO TALK STATIONS are in the top five. Even by Arbitron's more flexible defintion (Top seven in markets 1-10, top five in markets 11-50, and top three in markets outside the top 50), many markets - maybe most markets (I have not counted) - do not have top performing talk stations of any variety (conservative or progressive). In a lot of markets, the dominant stations are country or urban formats. Talk, at best, ends up in the middle of the pack.

I believe the lyric went this way

"Love me, Love me, Love me, I'm a Liberal"

And it's a rather biting parody of the "middle-of-the-road" Hubert Humphrey-style liberal, at that. <P ID="signature">______________

Re: 15 Additional Left-Leaning Hosts...

> show), Chuck Harder (talk star), Tony Trupiano (MTRN),

So what's up with Chuck Harder these days?
His last podcast on Good Politics Radio was Nov. 8, one week ago today ... haven't seen that sort of break in his activity since he started his podcasting enterprise on June 27.
Been listening to him on Talk Star, and I must admit he doesn't sound well at all - in a physical and political sense.
On the latter, he's really laying on the anti-government conspiracy stuff; he hasn't sounded like this since before the OKC bombing in April 1995.
Anyone heard any news on ol' Chuck?

Good list, thanks!

Here are 15 more...some are far to the left, others closer to the center:

Weekdays: Peter B Collins (540 KRXA/Monterey/Salinas/SantaCruz), Hart Kirch (KDWN/Vegas), Mark Levine (talk star), Laura Flanders (San Francisco local show), Chuck Harder (talk star), Tony Trupiano (MTRN), Lionel

Weekends: Bob Brinker (ABC), Jay Diamond (WRKO), John Rothmann (KGO), Karel (KGO), Erin Hart (KIRO), Carl Jeffers (KIRO), Turi Ryder (KIRO), Bernie Ward (Sunday Mornings)

Unfortunately, you can scratch Hart Kirch off that list. He was canned when KDWN switched formats.
 
Wow! A blast from the past.

since I put a list together here, I've found a website with a list of weekday and weekend progressive talk shows:
Liberal/Progressive Talk Shows

Also by now, everybody knows there is liberal talk radio besides AAR. Back then I wanted to show how much liberal talk was going on with which AAR had no involvement.

Enjoy.

A lot of people are convinced Air America Radio IS progressive talk radio. Not true. There is a lot of good progressive talk programming out there - and much of it was going strong well before AAR launched. And it is available online via live audio stream or podcast subscription.

Check it out. Some is syndicated. Some is local. This list includes only weekday hosts. There is more progressive talk available on weekends. And if you know of other progressive talk hosts outside of AAR please feel free to add to the list. Liberals are known for supporting the underdog. Give these "other" progressive talk shows a chance to be heard and recognized.

All times shown are Eastern.

Re: Prog Talk w/o AAR - Updates

Thom Hartmann is still doing local morning drive (9am - 12noon Eastern) on KPOJ, Portland.

Sam Greenfield still works for WWRL. AAR leases time on the station but that does not include the Sam and Army show in morning drive. (Young Turks are not carried in New York.)

Phil Hendrie popped up on The Unit, CBS Tuesday night, playing a small town radio host (doing an interview with one of The Unit wives).

Dave Ross is back on KIRO (after taking time off to run for Congress) and does the 9am - 12noon (12noon - 3pm Eastern) slot. He continues to do commentaries for CBS Radio and Chip Talk for AP Radio.

Wendy Wilde is the DFL candidate for Congress from the Twin Cities. Stephanie Miller took her time slot.

a qusetion here, and maybe I should have started a new thread. How many N/T hosts leave to run for office?

I know there have been lots of former politicians that try to become N/T hosts, and either flounder or fail.

Have any former politicians really 'made it' on radio ( let's not count Springer ).

How many former radio hosts become successful politicians?

Why would they do it in either case? ???

Well, there's Ronald Reagan (former sports broadcaster).

Former California congressman B-1 Bob Dornan hosts a syndicated show.

Former Califonia Governor and US Senator Pete Wilson hosts a show on KGO, San Francisco.

Former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown until recently co-hosted a morning show on KQKE.

Former Texas Agriculture Commissioner Jim Hightower hosted an weekly liberal talk show.

Former Rhode Island Attorney General Arlene Violet does a show on WHJJ, Providence.

If you don't limit "politicians" to office holders or elected officials, you have former political staff members:
G. Gordon Liddy (Nixon)
Tim Russert (Moynihan, Cuomo)
George Stephanopolus (Dukakis, Clinton)
Bill Moyers (LBJ)

That's off the top of my head. I'm sure people can and will add to this list.

I wouldn't have objected Evn if you had started a new thread (although some might). I do have a hard time figuring out how threads from last year get resurrected. It's a good thing Sam Bucca wiped everything from before June, 2005 or who knows how far back people would go. I guess some people actually go back and read the old stuff. I know a guy who gets the New York Times every day. He got behind in reading it but didn't throw them out. He'd keep reading from where he left off - getting further and further behind. Eventually, he rented a second (studio) apartment for his stacks of old New York Times. Which he continues to read in chronological order. Maybe somebody new comes to the board and wants to start at the beginning. I can sort of relate. I won't come late to movies. And I hate to pick up a TV series if I'm not there for the pilot (although I will do it, and catch up on what I miised as soon as it goes into re-runs). Maybe some people are that way with message boards.
