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.

Thanks for this. I first got into radio as a hobby when I was about
eight years old chasing clear-channel AM broadcasters. WLS in Chicago
was one of my earliest catches, along with stations like WBZ in
Boston, KDKA in Pittsburgh, KMOX in St. Louis, and, well...just brings
back pleasant memories. These days, I mainly chase utility stations,
but I think I'll take a day off from that on Monday night for a bit of
nostalgic tuning around on MW. :-)

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.

A couple months ago, AFN Korea dropped all the talk shows except for Sports

I'll have to check the shortwave relays next week to see if Rush is still on. I

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.

NPR has a decided Left-to-Moderate Voice with a True

-with- Car-Talk being an entertaining exception.

So much for Fair and Balance when it comes to giving
the US Troops both sides of the Political Story from
Home.

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.

How many of the troops are over 45 or 50? There are very few talk listeners
(of the WLS / WJR / WGN type) under that age, so it makes sense to look for
programming the bulk of the armed forces would enjoy, not just somebody who

People fighting for their country abroad are not the same as your ordinary
couch potato partier. Many are actually interested in hearing what's going
on back home, and some are even right wingers who enjoy the likes of Rush.
Yes, the vast majority of music played on the FM here is
rap/hiphop/gangsta/garbage, but when it comes to finding out what's going on
back home, these guys like to hear both sides of the story a lot more than
you may care to believe.

Nice spin. People that call in to the program don't sound over 50. They
sound like they are 20 to 40 years old. Mom's with kids and many topics

When nearly nobody in the 18-34 demo in the US listens to Rush or any other
political talker, why would they listen when abroad?




Silly question.

Nice spin. People that call in to the program don't sound over 50. They
sound like they are 20 to 40 years old. Mom's with kids and many topics
revolve around kids, school.

The call screeners purposely exclude the dangerous blue-haired women and
senile old men, and purposely pick people in the youngest demos. They know
that 9 out of 10 over 55 callers will want to talk about social security and
Medicare, and they diligently keep these callers off the air. You don't
really think these shows let anyone at all on the air, do you?

You're contradicting yourself, again. If they're not listening, they
can't be calling.

"Youngest demos" for talk is generally 35-44.

=============================================
935 Lies on the Way to a War

The study counted 935 false statements in the two-year period. It found
that in speeches, briefings, interviews and other venues, Mr. Bush and
administration officials stated unequivocally on at least 532 occasions
that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction or was trying to produce or
obtain them or had links to al Qaeda or both.

“It is now beyond dispute that Iraq did not possess any weapons of mass
destruction or have meaningful ties to al Qaeda,� according to Charles
Lewis and Mark Reading-Smith of the Fund for Independence in Journalism
staff members, writing an overview of the study. “In short, the Bush
Administration led the nation to war on the basis of erroneous
information that it methodically propagated and that culminated in
military action against Iraq on March 19, 2003.�

He doesn't get it, Steve.

Consider that there are a number of things that are not like things
at home. One is that the listener him/herself is different. They're
committed. They're focussed. They're trained. They've volunteered to
serve. They're politically active at the most basic level. They're less
concerned about the fluff that dominates the evening news than they are
defending the fundamental freedoms that permit the behaviours that lead
to the fluff that dominates the evening news.

That takes them off most squares of the psychographic grid. Hometown
demography doesn't apply. They're a different type of people with
listening tastes and habits that reflect a different type of lifestyle.

Another consideration is that there are dramatically fewer choices
for listening in theatre. Unlike you and me, who have a dial full of
selections, troops in theatre have a fraction of the offerings. They
listen, as you say, for fresh truths from home. Not for the latest
George Michael release.

And politically, they tend to a more conservative path. Rush is big
with military, as a whole, regardless of demography.

Programming AFN is not like programming WKSC.

Drop Gleason into a Marine base in-country and he'd get a dose of
reality he assiduously avoids in his current position.

People fighting for their country abroad are not the same as your ordinary
couch potato partier. Many are actually interested in hearing what's going
on back home, and some are even right wingers who enjoy the likes of Rush.
Yes, the vast majority of music played on the FM here is
rap/hiphop/gangsta/garbage, but when it comes to finding out what's going on
back home, these guys like to hear both sides of the story a lot more than
you may care to believe.



You won't find out "what's going on back home" by listening to Rush
Limbaugh. That would give someone a highly distorted caricature of
current events at best. There's way more truth in the
"rap/hiphop/gangsta/garbage". It the "story" is true, there's only one
side.

You talk tough for a old fart safely behind a desk. Here's my old fart
take:

Our fighters in the Iraq ****-hole are fighting for each other. (That's
a period).

I'd rather fight the enemy here, rather than over there.
