do you have a progressive radio station that comes through in your area?

1. AM 1600 WWRL

In Manhattan and Brooklyn though it is very clear. It doesn't come through further out on the south shore of Staten Island though.

[tabbycat31]

3. I can sometimes get that very fuzzy

not too good in central jersey though

[musette_sf]

30. i remember when that was the soul station

with Frankie Crocker. it came in clear in Brooklyn then too. great memories.

[annabanana]

33. (and it isn't "lliberal" all day either)

Weekday mornings it's all about healing and supplements and things like that..

[SteppingRazor]

2. I did until a couple months ago.

Then it became our fourth or fifth local AM sports station. I'm still going through Stephanie Miller withdrawals. x(

[CTyankee]

8. I've been thru Steph withdrawal TWICE.

During the dark days of 2005 until the winter of 2006 we had a great lineup with Steph, Franken, Ed Schulz and Randi. The we got an ESPN station. In 2008 another station carried the two last hours of Steph (so I would miss Right Wing World). Then it was replaced by some horrible RWinger.

I am grateful to have had Steph when politically I was at my lowest ebb. Voice Deity Jim Ward had me laughing out loud constantly. His Drunky McPukeShoes falling off a bar stool never failed to cheer me up. He once did an impression of Berlusconi that nearly made me drive off the road on my way to work one day...

[Eric J in MN]

4. AM 950 "The Voice of Minnesota"

It used to call itself "Air America Minnesota" but recently not so much.

[krispos42]

29. I can get them in the daytime

I'm on the fringe, but I can get them in my car during daylight hours if I crank up the volume a little.


Or I can just stream it via iTunes. :-)

[Generic Brad]

46. That's what I have to do - and I'm not on the fringe

I am smack downtown and I can barely hear them at some intersections.

[Reader Rabbit]

5. 620 KPOJ

God, I love Portland!

http://www.620kpoj.com/main.html

[Stevenmarc]

6. AM 1600 WWRL, and that's why I have Sirius.

[napi21]

7. Thank God for live streaming! I listen mostly to KPOJ, Oregon.

The only time I can't find anything is weekends. After 3PM there are a few programs, and the AM until 3 there's nada.

[lazyriver]

9. Only on the interwebs or via xm/sirius

[eleny]

10. KKZN 760 AM Denver metro area

[mrs_p]

12. we posted back to back

:-) i like the station most of the time, but the saturdays it's mostly extreme sports. do you know what's up with that?

[eleny]

31. I guess they can make revenue by leasing out the station for sports and the medical programs

Btw, I'm going to miss David Sirota while he's away. I hope that if Jay returns they can find a weekday slot for Sirota. I wouldn't miss Mario since he's broadcasting from California anyway. Or let Jay take that afternoon time and give Sirota the morning spot.

:hi:

[mrs_p]

11. yeah - colorado progressive radio station

i believe its 760 on the AM dial

[Zodiak]

13. In columbus, we had it and they took it away twice

The first time is was Clear Channel that did it....changed it to right wing radio.

The next time the station was bought out by Catholic conservative radio...but the original station still transmits on the web.

Columbus OH...generally blue area, and we cannot get and keep a progressive radio station. Not because of the listeners, mind you, but the owners.

[RebelOne]

14. Nope, not here in the Atlanta metro area.

Nothing but right-wing stations. For a while, I was able to get Air America, but not any more.

[Mika]

15. Miami lost the only liberal talk here last month. Nuttin but RW exile talk here now, and Rush. n/t

[zorahopkins]

16. WPFW -- Pacifica Radio

WPFW is the Pacifica station where I live.

[Dob Bole]

17. No, but frankly, I don't need it...

I mostly read. I just listen to the radio for entertainment...comedy and music. I support talk radio, for people who enjoy that sort of thing, but it's not for me.

[GreenTea]

18. KGOE in Eureka - Arcata, CA

[NightWatcher]

19. nope, I'm an XM'er, computer streamer and podcaster

when I'm plugged in, I can get good talk from 9A-Mid (although I rarely listen all day)

[nyc 4 Biden]

20. I think we're seeing a trend.

Here is a niche that needs to be taken advantage of. Now which one of us has the money to launch a nation-wide progressive/liberal talk station?? Or we can chip in and create WDU.

[tabbycat31]

28. I'm willing to help you out

I can pick up radio stations (on a good day) in 2 markets (NY and Philly), and as far as I know neither has a good progressive station despite the electorate in each city.

We need to find the most liberal cities/metro areas without a progressive station (Washington DC also comes to mind) and infiltrate the airwaves. Shut Rush up :-)

[lunatica]

21. GREEN 960 in the SF Bay Area

I listen to Stephanie Miller going to work and Randi Rhodes going home at the end of the day.

[BeeBee]

23. Green 960 here too...

but it's a little fuzzy here in the North Bay.

[Mike 03]

22. To the best of my knowledge, we used to have a great progressive station here in northern AZ, but

it was ruined or vanished due to some circumstances.

We also had a real old-fashioned "Talk Radio" station that had both Democratic and Republican talk shows with LOCAL hosts (what a novel concept), and that was totally destroyed and is now a sports channel.

A.M. radio, which used to be one of the loves of my life, has been destroyed with a very few exceptions.

[zbdent]

24. no ... Akron did host the flagship station of the Bill Press Show

and you know what's amusing now?

Allegedly "due to low ratings", WARF was switched from lib talk radio to sports talk radio ... and soon had ratings so low that they didn't even show in the ratings books ... of course, now another station (WJMP) is switching from ratings disaster sports talk radio to the oh-so-underrepresented-in-Akron/Cleveland/Canton CONSERVATIVE TALK RADIO ... gee ... you'd think that an area which is often described as "sickeningly liberal" would be full of "liberal" talk shows, right? naw ...

some history of WARF-1350, "thanks" to Ohio Media Watch: http://ohiomedia.blogspot.com/search?q=warf

[HughMoran]

25. No, but we used to

Why would a liberal area like Boston need liberal radio :eyes:

Sucks...

[Mr. Ected]

26. Atlanta, Georgia. Land of the Lost.

It's hard to live in Georgia, drive a lot, and only have an AM radio for the drive home.

[Joe the Liberal]

27. AM 760 here in Colorado.....

I listen to Thom Hartmann on there mostly.

[SeattleGirl]

32. AM 1090 KPTk here in Seattle

I listen to it all the time.

[rainbow4321]

34. Dallas area: Rational Radio KMNY 1360 AM

http://www.rationalbroadcasting.com/

[rainbow4321]

35. self deleted dupe

[w8liftinglady]

36. we used to have 910 AM in Dalls,but no more.

[rainbow4321]

37. 1360 AM in Dallas...

Progressive Radio is back.... :)

[w8liftinglady]

45. Yes!

[Manifestor_of_Light]

38. Out in the boonies I am.

Houston has Pacifica KPFT, but I'm too far away from there to pick it up.

[aikoaiko]

39. Closest I come is hearing CSNY on the classic rock station.

[havocmom]

40. Two stations available IF you drive a big truck with tall antenna

One is oldies rock out of Canada, other is RW hate, fundy fake xian, rush wannabe radio.

My life sucks

[no_hypocrisy]

41. WVNJ -- 1160 AM The Sam Greenfield Show

http://www.wvnj.com/staff-sam.html

[LWolf]

42. Depends on where in "my area" I happen to be.

Just like cell phone coverage.

We have a local community radio station which is very "progressive" for this area. I can pick it up a few miles south of my house, if I remember.
I don't spend much time on the radio.

[BlooInBloo]

43. No, I have an internet.

[Stuart G]

44. WCPT 820.. in Chicago...very strong signal.. and

it is making money..lots of it...(by the number of commercials)
