Where Did Beck Go?

[Mike_Rafone]

Was out of contact with radio all day. No change on WGKA's website; Google-ing still hits WGST. I know his outfit is concentrating on the TV deal with DISH, but when that preview runs out, where will be able to listen to him? And Internet streaming is not an option.

Anyone?

Just saw on Facebook. Glenn Beck will be on 1160 WCFO starting this Friday from 9-11am.

Missed opportunity for WGKA. They could have had themselves a nice little lineup with the addition of Beck.

Good,It looks like Glenn Beck will be on the air in Atlanta on 920 AM on Monday 8) ;D

With all the cramming and shortening of shows going on with WCFO and their so-so signal, this could be an opportunity for WGUN to finally make something of their station.

920 AM needs to add Rusty Humphries. I wish somebody in Atlanta would pick up Coast to Coast AM

Right now WGUN seems to just have technical issues....I think they have a decent chance the way they are....good mixture of programming

looks like WGUN will take over where WGST left off. I hope they will be more successful

I think that if they get the word out better and get their online streaming working, they can do better... the key is the same thing that the King was lacking: word of mouth. There's any audience for prog talk in atlanta, they're just not aware that it's there. they do need Stephanie Miller, though. She'd could had a great audience in Atlanta

Has any station been successful with a mix of progressive and conservative talk? That is not a rhetorical question, btw.

The fact that WGKA is only interested in clearing Salem's own shows, leaving WCFO as the only alternative for talkers bumped from WGST and not picked up by WSB, suggests that a fourth news/talker could be viable.

WGST could get upwards of a 2 share, albeit with Rush. Sounds like an opportunity for WCFO or (especially) WGUN.

No, I agree, it's valid. I still say it depends on geography. There's plenty of cities around the country where prog talk is available and succeeding. Obviously, all-prog talk in Atlanta hasn't succeeded but when AAR was here, it was still a fledgling format and, let's be honest, the prog audience isn't the same as a conservative audience so you can't just mirror what conservative talk radio does and call it a day.

I just don't think The King did a good job at promoting the station. WCFO tried adding Randi Rhodes but that was a lion's den for her..dumb move on their part, IMHO.

Air America's biggest enemy was themselves. Regardless of your personal values and POV towards "business" you have to run the darn thing like a business and not like public/non-com broadcasting.

The King was MIA promo-wise. Absolutely zero visibility.

If WCFO made an honest effort to add and promote Randi Rhodes (who is obviously the Rush of progtalk in terms of broad appeal and name recognition) and it didn't work, then the answer to my question would be "not in ATL".

I wouldn't be listening to a channel that carried Leftist talk! I don't agree with anything they have to say and don't want to listen to it

Sounds like you're new best buddy will be WCFO, then.

Good thing you have the ability to change the dial. Imagine being forced to have to listen to one-sided talk radio.
