Yes, there are a few nuts, kooks snd queers who live the South that will
listen to **** like that. Won't last long............... No Advertising ! David wrote: 'Blue' radio to debut in Memphis Ed Hicks Jerry Springer is not coming to Memphis radio -- at least not yet -- but Al Franken is. Franken, the former Saturday Night Live comedian who made a splash last year with his book about Fox News, will be featured on a new AM format starting Friday. Entercom Memphis will change the call letters of radio station WJCE-680AM on Friday, and will launch a liberal talk radio format under the name Progressive Talk 680 WWTQ-AM, broadcasting the Air America Radio network. Operations manager Jerry Dean says the station will go with the Air America format for the first few months, but hopes to add a live morning show thereafter. The station has not decided who will host that show, Dean says. The station's new format will offer current political topics, social activists, occasional comical twists and "a creative approach to liberal talk by the best artists available," he says. It also will offer local news, weather and traffic. Air America is heard on 47 stations from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. The network's appearance on WWTQ-AM will mark its debut in the South. Dean says it's about time. "Shelby County is a blue county in a red state," Dean says. "65% of Shelby County voters went for Senator Kerry. Plus, it's different. And when you can bring a format that hasn't been done before, that's half the battle." Entercom Memphis is a division of Entercom Communications Corp., which is based in Bala Cynwyd, Penn., near Philadelphia. The company is the fourth-largest radio broadcaster in the nation. Entercom is not the only broadcast company that's trying a progressive format. In Cincinnati, arguably the nation's most conservative major city, Clear Channel Radio has launched a progressive format on WCKY-AM, offering Jerry Springer, who once served as mayor of Cincinnati. Springer's talk show is not yet syndicated. Dean says Progressive Talk 680 WWTQ-AM has no plans to offer it. The station's scheduled lineup kicks off at 5 a.m. with "Morning Sedition" and ends at midnight with "The Mike Malloy Show." Franken will be on the air from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. The other programs currently on the schedule include "Unfiltered," "The Randi Jones Show" and "The Majority Report." WWTQ-AM's signal reaches Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana and Missouri, making it the most powerful AM signal in the region, according to Entercom. Besides Memphis, Entercom operates stations in Boston; Seattle; Kansas City; Indianapolis; Milwaukee; New Orleans; Denver; Portland, Ore.; Sacramento, Calif.; Norfolk, Va.; Buffalo, N.Y.; Providence, R.I.; Greensboro, Greenville/Spartanburg, N.C.; Rochester, Minn.; Madison, Wis.; Wichita, Kan.; Wilkes Barre/Scranton, Penn.; and Gainesville/Ocala, Fla. |

Just because a few Southern Democrats voted for Kerry does not mean that a liberal talk radio format will last long in the conservative South. I don't think this will last very long at all. -- Tom Sevart N2UHC Frontenac, KS http://www.geocities.com/n2uhc |

That's more than enough money to keep Franken(stein) and (hot)Air America turning up, like a bad penny, for years to come. |

I had the misfortune to pick up Al Franken once and listened for 5 minutes. All I heard were his laughing at his sick attempts at humor. Won't last long............... No Advertising ! Who would support (pay) for such drivel? Only rich activists (Soros, etc.). David wrote: Not going to repeat that ..... HankG |
