2. On the air

How long have we had it on the air? I listen to 1530 out of Ohio. I pick it up in the morning and at night. I live in Arlington Heights and pick it up real clear and strong.

4. Sorry - signed off to watch the British returns

WKBF out of Rock Island(?) 1270 AM. They signed on Air America on April 4th I believe. They carry mostly AA, but replace Springer with Stephanie Miller (an upgrade I'd say) and some of Randi Rhodes with Ed Schultz (probably a tossup). They also carry the Swing games, so just when majority report gets interesting they go to the game.
I live @40 miles out and get it pretty clear in the daytime. Not so well at night.
On the weekend they carry Ring of fire with RFK jr. on Saturday afternoon and Sunday afternoon. Also, they have replays on and off all weekend. All in all radio to listen to.

3. Anybody Know How To Get In Touch With The Station Here.....

I'm happy they are back in Chicago - but they substituted Ed Schultz for Randi and we don't get Malloy - except on weekends - probably a rebroadcast. AAR is not the same without Randi and Malloy. Let them put Schultz on in the evening and broadcast Randi live. She is more passionate and well-informed. Looks like I'm going to have to continue streaming off the internet. I'm very disappointed. I just thought that if we could get a telephone number to the station we can lobby to make them swap back Randi for Shultz. Anybody else disappointed? Let's start a telephone campaign.

I know I'm being selfish. I should be just glad that AAR is back in Chicago. - But it's not the same. Sorry.
