One man's fantasy radio line up
Ok, I don't have to work today, it's raining, lots of housework is done, and I'm sort of bored. And being a fantasy sports player, I decided to transfer my skills(?) to a fantasy progressive radio lineup, if I ran a radio network and had lots of money. I am only including people I have heard, and am trying to set it up like a regular radio station may do it. Ok, here we go.
all times are Central Time, btw as this is where I live.
6AM-10AM-Stephanie Miller and crew. Morning drive and she's perfect for that slot as she's bright and witty.
10AM-2PM-Ed Schultz. Yeah, I know a lot of people here don't like him, but put him against limbaugh and O'Reilly and Big Ed may smoke them in ratings. Besides, I like him most of the time. He does allow people to have their say, no matter how ridiculous.
2PM-6PM-Randi Rhodes. Afternoon drive and she's pretty good for that slot. She's more or less there now anyway.
6PM-9PM-Thom Hartmann. A little slow down from the PM drive time and some very intelligent conversation.
9PM-1AM-Sam Seder. An emerging star in talk radio imo. The man has done well without Garafalo and loves to take ridiculous people's calls and then correct them.
1AM-5AM-Mike Malloy. Face it folks, he'll likely never see any prime time slot and he's actually pretty good for late night radio, as there are night shifters out there who like radio, but not neccessarily that weird show thats out on syndication, Art Bell or something like that.
Weekend subs should include Rachel Maddow, Mark Riley, and maybe Franken, although he isn't exactly a radio type of guy and it shows. So there you have it, a fantasy radio lineup. Good grief, I think I have to get a new hobby. :-)

2. I am a radiophile also and have often thought of an all-star lineup
6AM may be a bit early for Steph since she is a west-coaster.
I think my lineup would be:
- Riley 5AM - 7AM
- Stephanie 7AM - 10AM
- Thom Hartmann 10AM - 2PM
- Randi 2PM - 6PM
- Seder 6PM - 10PM
- Rachel Maddow 10PM - 1AM
- Malloy 1AM - 5AM
Subs:
Schultz, Jay Marvin, Franken, Laura Flanders and maybe Bobby Kennedy.
I am one of those who is not a big Schultz fan. I do like the fact that he gets the Senators and representatives on his show.
Even though it is hard to get here I think Rachel Maddow has an outstanding show that may fit better at bed time.

3. What, no "Satellite Sisters"???
:evilgrin:

Actually, my favorite show is "Ring of Fire." Too bad you didn't schedule it weekends or anywhere else.

4. ok, we'll put that in it's current timeslot
To be honest, I sort of forgot about "Ring of Fire". But it is a pretty good show. Around here, they will be preempted soon, once Iowa State football fires up.

5. I enjoy Rachel Maddow in the 7am-9am slot
and then Steffanie Miller in the 9am-noon slot. I need to have had some coffee before listening to Steffanie!
