Bill Press show dropped from 'progressive radio' in Albuquerque

AM1350 in Albuquerque has been a major 'progressive radio' station in the USA (according to Bill Press) but it has dropped the Bill Press Show from it's line up. Used to broadcast from 4 A.M. to 7 A.M. (followed by the Stephanie Miller show) and be rebroadcast later in the day.

It's been replaced by the 'consumer expert' radio show hosted by Clark Howard, a conservative.

Emails and phone messages to the radio station to ask why they dropped Bill Press have gone unanswered.

With Trump in the White House, we need all the progressive radio hosts we can get.

Their website still lists the Bill Press show, but it is no longer being aired on AM1350 in Albuquerque.

Does anyone know why it was dropped?

Well, they didn't 'hire' him.
It's a nationally syndicated talk show, for which I assume they pay for?
