We need some liberal talk shows on the villes radio dial

hotpatrick2004

We use to have one when 1080 carried lionel but when he went to air america that canclled that. I am not even sayin a whole station like 1 or 2 shows would do well here.

Either stephanie miller or ed schultz would do really well here. The thing is reguardless what point of view you are you have to be entertaining and those two are. I don't care for rush but the man is talented at what he does but how hannity succeeds is beyond me.

Before you right wingers attack me that liberal talk is a failure it depends on the market and how well executed it is. It does well in some places. With that said how the air america affiliate in los angeles is still on the air baffles me??? Clear channel constantly changes the lineup. Back in the early 1990's we had 790 wwky and alan colmes was on follwiing rush and then barry farber and a local morning show denton randall. In the 9-noon slot you had lee meribald for personal advice show.

It could work here a good mix like 790 was back in the day.

Thats all guys and gals

HOTP OUT ;D
 
If there were money to be made in liberal talk, someone would already be doing it.
 
Here's a thought, instead if you guys bitching about it here in an online forum, why don't you make an offer on a station like 1570 and program it the way you think it should be programmed.
 
Hey kyscott i am not bitching i was rather nice in my post and i am not even suggesting a whole station but i will say 1080 could do alot better with stephanie miller on tape delay from 6-9 then with the war room but in order for that to happen it would have to be a day old show for her show is live from 9-noon est. And whas they could have gone with a dem 9pm to midnight but no they had to go with one of the most radical people on the radio. He is entertaining but he is a nut michael savage. Anyone how Mr Savage is doing on WHAS?

In other words, your discourse. You kevetching and bitching about no liberal talk shows in Louisville is fine, my discourse of urging you to get off your ass and do something about it isn't allowed. Is that what you are saying?

There is always the option of XM radio, too.
 
Uh dude air america a little f.y.i. is still around i swear all you right wingers love to insist they are dead with that said how they are still around is very much a mystery to me
 
<<We need some liberal talk shows on the villes radio dial>>

No we don't.
..
 
Louisville is far from being void of liberal programming. There is NPR which is basically liberal. WLOU, when they are not playing music, consists of liberal propaganda talk like Bev Smith and other dangerous lefty theology. Francene can be a lefty at times and most of the FM morning shows are a Hollywood type of liberalism. So, there is plenty liberalism on the airwaves, probably more than conservative radio which consists of only one full-time outlet (WGTK), Rush, Hannity and the few talk shows on WFIA.
 
Thats crap radio lover all you right wingers talk about npr we have npr blah blah blah blah blah that is also crap. NPR is everywhere that does not count. There is no liberal programming here at all npr does not count they are everywhere liberal talk shows are not everywhere especially louisville so you right wingers are wrong i am correct. Obviously you all do not like differing points of view on th airwaves such close minded people you are!!!

So we tell you where liberal programming can be found, and you don't want to count it. Be honest man, you don't really want more liberal programming, you just want less conservative programming on the air.

Like I said before, if there were money to be made in liberal talk programming, it would be on the air in Louisville. It's not because there is no market for it. Air America has to pay their affiliated stations to carry the programming. A good business model that does not make. For if the affiliates could make money with it, they would not need to be paid by the network. If Air America were to stop the payments, the stations would yank it off the air in a New York minute.

It's very obvious you do not know how radio broadcasting works. And when told how it works, you don't listen. Isn't it time for your shift at McDonald's?
 
Thats real mature kyscott i have not worked at fast food in a long time thank you very much!!!But if your nice to me i will go say hey from 10 years ago and get ya a mcflurry lol I have said it and i will say it again air america from the start is a bad business model and i have no idea how they stay in business. As i had heard it when air america started up stations had to air the entire network they just could not buy 1 or 2 shows to air?Makes no sense!

But no i am not saying less conservative talk in louisville actually dude i like micheal medved and laura ingram is not bad keep them all except dennis miller he is just not a good fit.I am not saying to have a whole liberal station in louisville just like 1 or 2 shows to balance it out a bit. People well known not the people you mentioned i have never heard of them.
 
myth 1: air america is failing because it is a liberal talk network.

FALSE

air america is failing because it is not being run by radio people. it's being run by business people. want an example of how incompetant air america is? the whole randi rhodes flap was not started over what happened in san fransisco. it was a contract dispute. randi had a clause in her contract that said that she could leave aa with no penalty and no non-compete. she could not be fired- if randi left it was because she wanted out not because she was canned. air america management wanted to gauge her importance to the network. they found out she was VERY important. management floated out that video as a trial balloon, nothing more. there was aa management at that event and there was no penalty then. the reason randi was suspended was because she refused to renegotiate her deal that included a clause that she could be fired. simple as that. randi refused and that was that. and apparantly some other major radio corporations think liberal talk radio can work. clear channel didn't fire her over the issue and helped build a radio network overnight literally to get her back on the air with nova m radio. if you want a liberal network that is actually sucessful and run by radio people, it's nova m. haven't heard anything negative about them have you? currently they only have 3 shows (supplemented by other syndicated liberal programs), but they are up, running and don't have any inherant problems properly running a radio show.

myth 2: liberal talk radio makes no money.

FALSE

in 2006 and 2007, of all the flips from liberal talk to another format, only ONE station had its ratings rise, and that was a station that had to flip AGAIN to get those higher ratings. in other markets where the format was introduced/reintroduced the stations rated in the first or second book. there are listeners for liberal talk radio and there are markets for it, however if the sales people don't do their jobs and sell ads for the stations, of course they will fail. some ad agencies won't sell ads to liberal stations because they fear retalliation from the stations that run conservoblather. liberal talk fails not because it has no audience, but because either stations cannot or will not sell ads to make them sucessful.

myth 3: louisville does not need a liberal station

FALSE

louisville is the most liberal city in the state, and considering the surrounding area is a blue island in an ocean of red. our mayor is liberal. our congressman is liberal. we have 2 and a half conservative stations in town and nothing to balance out any. i can't imagine how a city that is for equal rights and for racial equality and for abortion rights does not need a liberal station. if you took the direct stream of nova m flagship KPHX and ran it on a station here, that station doesn't even have to be a powerful one, it could be one that reduces or shuts down at night, it would generate some listenership because its new and it offers something different than other talk stations here. my politics are mostly liberal and i'm stuck listening to sports talk because every other talk station is conservative or offers little caller interaction.

Again, I present the one undying rule of radio. If it can make money, someone will program it. If someone thought they could make money with liberal talk or Lawrence Welk polka, they would be doing it. Nobody is doing it in Louisville because it won't make money in Louisville.
