What ever happened to Stacy Taylor and his progressive radio station setting the San Diego radio market on fire?
It was supposed to be on the air last January as I recall....

STACY TAYLOR...

He became quite irrelevant and obsolete. When your show consists mainly of being PO'ed at other's opinions, you can only go so far. It's a tough business when Randi Rhodes has more depth than you do 
I have always found Rhodes opinions to be backed up by facts and research. Reality has never seemed as attractive to radio listeners as fantasy. The industry got its start peddling fake cancer goat gland cures to gullible listeners, looking at the success of Limbaugh, things haven't changed much.

I've told this story before, might as well say it again. I used to listen to Stacy Taylor back in the 80's when he was on KSDO. There was another personality that did a show on the same station, Ken Kramer. Back then Stacy and Ken had a huge, perhaps station engineered, rivalry. Their political views were on opposite ends of the spectrum, and there was even a huge on air fight between them that sounded legitimate to me at the time. Clips of the on-air fight was used in commercials promoting the shows for both Ken and Stacy. Stacy was conservatively minded at the time, Ken was a definate Liberal. In the 90's-early 2000's Stacy came across and even admitted on air that he was more of a Libertarian, I remember him once mentioning that he was probably going to disappoint everyone with his voting because he had just got done voting for Libertarian candidates. So here we are today and now Stacy's political views having moved into the spectrum that caused him to get so worked up 25 years ago. People have told him that they liked him until his views seemed to change. He has said in the past while on Air America that he hasn't really changed, but from my perspective he has radically shifted in his political views in the last 25 years. Filling in for someone like Randi Rhodes who would have been horrified to listen to Stacy in the 80's is pretty telling.
This LibertyOneRadio looks interesting, but they might want to remove the counter. 600 visitors? How many will actually pay I wonder?

I think this one has to be "vaporware."
"July 4, 2009 (San Diego)—Alpine resident and East County radio personality Stacy Taylor will be returning to the airways soon on Liberty One Radio, organizers announced at a July 4 press conference. “As our forefathers did in creating this great nation, we are here to announce the creation of Liberty One Radio, where your voice and the voice of freedom can again be heard,” Hector Bonilla, chief financial officer said. The station will feature locally-produced newscasts, national and local talk show hosts including East County radio personality Stacy Taylor."
Bonilla is still trying to raise $5 million and you have to wonder who would invest in a venture to put Stacy Taylor on the podcasts and eventually an AM station?

At this point if I wanted to put anything "on the air" I'd forget radio and go for the internet. The startup costs are low, regulations easy to handle. Then, if it clicks, look into a radio signal. There are probably dozens of specialty niches in programming that could be filled--not with vast audiences, but maybe commercially feasible.
