1. Sigh! That is depressing news

I can still listen to them online, but this is bad news.

Clear Channel is cutting costs and this is an easy cut.

2. join the club--Milwaukee has never had it at all.

That's why I got XM radio, in fact. Or you can listen online, if you're going to be at the computer anyway.

3. Oh my god -

NO STEPHANIE?????

That's awful.

Of course, AAR did it to themselves by hiring Jerry Springer and dumping Morning Sedition. The station sucks too - I could never hear it after sundown, so could never listen to Randi or Rachel in her new time slot. And as for the Young Turks...well, the less said, the better.

There's such a big audience for progressive talk here - whether it's AAR or something else. It's hard to imagine it won't find a new home somewhere else on the dial.

4. That's really a bummer.

That's the station that I usually stream.
