I just heard That we are losing our progressive talkers in San Francisco and I am as mad as hell. Already rush, shit, bleach are polluting our airwaves.

I called knew in San Francisco and vented. The number is 415-975-5555 if you want to express your displeasure. I called and the jerk who answered said it would not be a right wing format in January and that rush and bleach are in the middle! Ugh !!!!!!

3. KTLK LA is 1150; Stephanie Miller broadcasts a national show from there.

I wonder if that will affect her?

4. my part of the country sucks also. Has not had progressive radio and

doubt it ever will. RW blowhards all over the airwaves. I used to live in a city with progressive radio, now I have to listen via computer. It is horrible and is reflected in the mindset of this area!!

They are moving to KKSF with a more powerful signal.

I noticed because I generally stream Randi from KNEW.

6. Because to them Rush et al are hate-speech and hate sells

more than logic and compassion.

We lost our progressive station (which was only part time) a couple of years ago - I go on line now.

7. They already did it to us in San Luis Obispo and I think

Santa Barbara county as well. It was a matter of time before they took yours down. I'm thinking we need to do something about this. The airwaves belong to the people, not Premier, Clear Channel or those who have monopolized radio. They also have watered down the music choices to the most banal of offerings.

8. this is just CC being mean. Rush is already all over the dial

This was against Stephanie Miller's flagship and one of the few stations that still play Randi Rhodes. Sirius radio is not worth having. I gave them up years ago. The only thing I had left was my I Heart Radio app to listen to in the car. Oh well
