(Montana) Conservative radio host selling station

KALISPELL - John Stokes, the on-air personality who once called environmentalists “green Nazis” and burned green swastikas at rallies, has put his radio station here up for sale with a national brokerage house specializing in moving media outlets.

The move follows recent Montana Supreme Court rulings that Stokes did not have rights to as much land as he claimed, and that the state had not, as Stokes alleged, bribed landowners to eliminate the easement upon which his radio towers sit.

... Whatever else he might have been, Stokes was provocative, and though he wasn't elected he had certainly made his mark. His full impact on the valley, however, would not be felt until 2000, when Stokes bought an AM radio station south of Kalispell. Suddenly he had a pulpit, a place where the phones were constantly lit up.

He called liberals and conservationists “pure, unadulterated satanic evil,” and equated them to terrorists.

Stokes' advice: “Finish them off and make sure they don't have babies.”

6. so, who is going to fill the void?

i imagine his fellow conservatives are lining up to purchase the station(s).

and i would also imagine that NOT to be the case with democratic liberals or progressives.

democrats with money continually do not step up to the plate.

and we wonder why our side's views never get out.

it has to start somewhere....

:shrug:

i would imagine that montana could be fertile ground, IF the truth got out, there.

8. AM radio is soooo 1970's!

Satellite radio is the niche that liberal radio should take advantage of. Most of the audience of AM radio is either old conservative blowhards or local sports fans. But there are a few decent blues stations down South, so it ain't all bad.
