Fuck AM 1090 Seattle's Progressive Talk!!!!!!!
They seem to be anti Mike Malloy! First of all, they never play him during the week, instead repeating the day's Al Franken during Mike's timeslot. Now, instead of playing his Randi Rhodes show today, they've put on bloody Friday's episode! This is so fucked up. Now I have to wait til bloody midnight to get the archive!

What the hell is wrong with this station?

2. I'm talking about Mike Malloy, but thanks.
I don't like the fact that my supposed "liberal" station is banning the biggest liberal of them all.

3. I'm on 1090 as well.... it really sucks. Randi Rhodes is delayed too.
Why can't they just play the regular lineup?

I also hate how it turns in to a sports station in the evenings. I hate sports.

6. Go To An Advertiser
Wanna help keep Progressive Talk on this station...the ones who need to hear from you right now are advertisers, not the stations.

Listen to 1090, find a local advertiser you'd like to patronize...the stop in...and mention you came there because you're a listener. Good chance the business will be glad you said it and word will get to the station. Also that the business may be willing to support more Progressive talk programming that would replace Sports which makes the station more money.

Be glad you've got a station to listen to. Chicago is still Progressive Radio-less.

8. Studs Turkel on WFMT is Liberal radio.
It would be wonderful to hear warm and lovable old liberals like Studs Turkel on progressive radio. He is deeply liberal, edgy and very pleasant to listen to. We don't have anything like him in Dallas.

"I am a radical. A radical is someone who gets to the root of things."

We need AAR everywhere.

11. Stud's Been Off The Air For Years
Also, he's almost 90. Stud's is one of the last of the 30's radicals. He came from my father's neighborhood and generation...kids of immigrants who worked in factories and saw the unions as their strength and defenders.

Chicago has other liberal voices that have long since fallen off the dial and others who would love the chance to speak truth to one of the most liberal/blue areas in the country.

I have heard Dallas radio (just posted in the Texas forum)...and you're in hate radio hell. Here's hoping the Dallas and Texas DU'ers get their own radio show and bring some sanity and balance to that market.

7. Mike Webb is good.
I can only listen through iTunes, usually hours or a day late, but I listen to Mike Webb whenever I can. Same for Thom Hartmann on radiopower.org, AAR (no stations in Louisiana).

I can listen to Ray Taliaferro and Bernie Ward live from KGO Radio San Francisco. :)

14. Webb or Malloy?
That's a razor thin call. Webb has the best bumpers in the biz but nobody rants like Malloy. It's a win-win situation.

16. I know Webb personally so ... WEBB
Awesome dude. And if you ever wondered why he is so good, it's cause he works all day and all night. Those bumpers are homemade.

10. Is it a clear channel station?
I don't know if all the AAR stations are clear channel...
But, the AAR station here in Albuquerque does the same thing. They don't play Malloy during the week. Instead, they play Lionel (gag).

13. I love AM 1090! The only thing that bothers me is the fact that
the evening broadcast is encroached upon by a sports station using nearly the same frequency. The interference pisses me off.

15. SCREW YOU I like 1090
Most of it is pretty good.

Those who dislike it can go to KVI and listen to Jack Carlson.
