Maybe it's good that we now have 3 progressive radio networks...

[Eric J in MN]

...which each have a decent chance of success.

"Air America" has the big brand name.

"Nova M" has Mike Malloy and Randi Rhodes.

"Jones" has Ed Schultz and Stephanie Miller.

1. Wow, and AM 1090 in Seattle carries them all. I am so lucky.

4. "Air America Minnesota" also carries at least one show from all 3.

Mike Malloy from Nova M.

Stephanie Miller and Ed Schultz from Jones.

Thom Hartmann from Air America.

[CatholicEdHead]

7. Ed is the best one out there

[Vincardog]

2. I will listen to "Air America" or "Nova M" Keep Big Head Ed off my air.

[FogerRox]

5. AAR in NY just dumped Hartman for Ed, OMG Puke ! ! ! ! !

[DB1]

8. You know a lot of people like me probably didn't know that AAR kinda sucks til now.

[regnaD kciN]

10. Ed has gotten a LOT better over the past few years...

He originally came across as just-slightly-left-of-center, but he's moved steadily in a progressive direction since then.

3. Wow, and AM 1090 in Seattle carries them all. I am so lucky.

11. What is Jones?

Ive never heard of it.

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. Jones older than dirt, but they're the ones who syndicate big eddie

and Big momma (Ed Shultz and Stephanie Miller)

Many folks don't realize this since they are carried by many of the stations that also carry AAR and Nova M programing

Hell, Nova M carries AAR, but you can bet your sweet toots that AAR in NYC will not carry Nova programing, given they ahem, pushed out some of their talent

14. I'm thinking that AAR is gonna move away from the 'progressive' label.

They're going to become the middle-of-the-road 'slightly kinda almost liberal' network.

And like the man once said - 'Ain't nothin' in the middle of the road 'cept roadkill.'

- as

[Breeze54]

15. "... gonna move away from the progressives'? ~ LMAO!

I think they already have... a long time ago. :(

[Manifestor_of_Light]

16. We have NONE of those three in Houston.

Thank Minerva (the Goddess of Wisdom) for Pacifica!!!!! :D

[KharmaTrain]

19. 3 Very Weak Ones

Of the three Jones is in the best position as it has a corporate owner that is subsidizing this format with others, but it's never expanded to a full 24/7 network.

AAR's on its last legs. The Greens saved it from going under last year and little has been done to improve or expand the "big brand name"...and now with both Franken and Rhodes gone the only one left if Rachael Maddow...and I think her future is more at NBC than at AAR.

Then there's NovaM that needs listener support to stay operational and hopes to pick up where AAR falls. Again, they have no real assets or platform for growth. Unfortunately, fortunes haven't been made with a small radio station in Phoenix.

Progressive radio is very splintered and poorly funded and organized. There needs to be a better structure of financing, marketing and plans to combine both national with local programming...where a format can take root and gain an audience.
