once again, lost my progressive radio station.

we used to have an Air America station here years back, then they changed the format. But at least I could pick up the station from Buffalo (unfortunately, only in the car), and I could still hear Steph, Randi, and Ed whenever I was driving around. Now I tune in and it's... ESPN Radio.

Bastards.

plus, the local advertising on the station was for establishments an hour and a half from where I live. Not feasible to drive an hour and a half to go to a restaurant or store.

that played YES, GENESIS, ELP and KING CRIMSON.

radio stations across the country. I also know that KTLK in Los Angeles is a progressive station on the iHeart radio app, but does not carry Schultz.

Update:

Ed Schultz is on WWRL in Chicago and is also on the tunein radio app.

I just did a shallow web search and found several options.

I listen to progressive radio via TuneIn.

Carl Wolfson, a local(Portland) progressive who has his own talk show on blogtalkradio. Check him out at carlwolfson.com. When Portland lost progressive radio, it was so discouraging, but TuneIn really helps me stay connected to Thom, Stephanie, Malloy, etc.
