This will be a true historic day in Chicago radio. They can be hard to pick up at times. They're nearly 40 miles from here. But thanks for the heads-up, if they play the right airchecks and clips they could make a really good day of it. I grew up on WLS. I'm about 90-100 miles across the lake from them and they come in pretty well 24 hours a day. I was told years ago that their grounding system went south somewhere along the way, and they never bothered to fix it. I used to be able to null them out with a DX-394 in Schiller Park (by ORD) by turning the radio just the right way. Just another mediocre waste of electricity these days... |

I listen to WLS a good part of the day. |

You're projecting again. This explains your bitterness and hostility. Bitter? Hostile? You're projecting again. That **** is audio poison. Oh come on, Rush will be up in just a little more than two hours. |

With the replacement to be more of what NPR offers. NPR being more palatable to the left leaning in Congress who hold the purse. Apparently, they finally succeeded in achieving that goal. I'll have to check the shortwave relays next week to see if Rush is still on. I recall the push to at least get him off, seemingly in contrast to what the troops wanted. |

Still seems to be on the AFN Radio sked: http://myafn.dodmedia.osd.mil/AFNRadio.aspx#9 They're all still on the satellite (Uninterruptable Voice Channel) feed, but not on the radio here in the ROK (can't say about Japan.. but I can imagine they dropped all the sports/talkers there, since they have only the one station there). AFN-Korea didn't just drop the right wing talkers.. they dropped them ALL. It's even hard to find Paul Harvey anymore.. he used to be on several times a day (including "The Rest of the Story"). The AFN Korea AM feeds seem to be mostly NPR anymore.. they've cut way back on the music stuff, too. They used to have 5 hours of oldies in the morning, and 4 hours of country in the afternoon, then sports, then Rush, then Ed Schultz, then Morning Edition followed by country till morning, with an hour of news at noon followed by Dr. Laura. I can see the AM going away completely in the not too distant future.. I think we're the only ones even listening to it anymore. |

Why Is It That : The VOA is not allowed to Broadcast One-Sided US Government Propaganda to US Citizens. But it would now 'appear' that AFN is allowed to use NPR to Broadcast One-Sided US Government Propaganda to the US Troops and their Families who also happen to be US Citizens. yes i said that ~ RHF |
