Very long feature just finished on "Broadcasting House" on Radio 4 this
morning , about right wing and left wing stations in the US and the up and
coming liberal station.

Played air checks of various broadcasters.

Who did they play (besides Rush and Liddy?)


Are these what used to be called shock jocks? They are more shocking than
ours in the UK!

I don't know....I heard some downright bizarre stuff on "TalkSport" one
night in London!


Rush Limbaugh seems to be in a sad state, his catchphrase is "Talent on loan
from God"!

He's been saying that for years...



G Gordon Liddy seems very opinionated.

I quote from the programme "radio is to the right".

I wonder if the new station, Air America, will be welcomed to widen the
dialogue.

I don't know. They've selected four stations (LA, NY, Chicago and I think
San Francisco). None of the stations has particularly good coverage....

What are the other stations?

I would imagine that it's rather difficult to find available outlets
in the major markets for an unproved product, when the big stations
already run the rightwing stuff.
