Lib Radio in New York - Randi Rhodes - Al Franken!

[HootieMcBoob]

WLIB (1190 AM) currently mixes Caribbean music with black-targeted talk shows after budget cuts forced it to drop its all-talk format three years ago.

Air America and its parent, Progress Media, just moved onto a floor shared by WLIB and sister station WBLS at 3 Park Ave.

WLIB, owned in part by former Manhattan Borough President Percy Sutton and run by his son, Pierre, broadcasts a strong signal over New York City, Westchester and a nice chunk of eastern New Jersey.

It is not known whether WLIB will be purchased outright or leased.

2. YAY!!!!

heres to hoping that the signal reaches the Trenton area! Or at least a Philadelphia affiliate...that will definitely do the job!

4. I heard that there will be a Philly station

I imagine they'll be announcing the other stations shortly.

3. Do they broadcast to the east?

[AmericanErrorist]

5. Should they apologize to the black community?

An ethnic media lifeline was cut so that the left (we) can have our stuff.
