KLIF drank too much Kool-aid

[Maestro]

I posted this in GD, but I'd thought I would post here as well as it might affect more people. KLIF radio is using shock in its campaign for ratings and it is creating fear in the public to promote its neo-con agenda.

See here: KLIF is drunk on the Kool-aid

1. very scary radio station.

I live in the area,and the only talk shows available are right wing loonies. KLIF is the worst.

[Maestro]

2. Yep!

That is one reason I bought Sirius so I could listen to some more progessive ideas. D/FW radio is horrible.

16. WRONG! Best talk shows anywhere are on KERA!

Diane Rehm in the mornings, and Glen Mitchell from noon until 2 and in
between you can listen to Terri Gross's incomparable "Fresh Air"

True, not what we need most, a talk show which will be a free for all that is liberal and local, but at least they are not crazy insane mean
and RIGHT WING!!!!!!!!!!!

Give Glen a try, he is just plain fun. Especially on Fridays

3. What do you expect when they advertise that

"We're A Fox News Affiliate"

[Maestro]

4. I expect nothing substantive.

And they say that about Fox with such pride. :eyes:

5. It wasn't just Kool-Aid, but some really serious chems had to have been

added, besides just the "sugar" and the "poisonous" water. Problem is they are distributing this shit for free.

KLIF used to be the best, way, way long time ago. So sad. Clear Channel strikes again.

6. Clear Channel don't owns KLIF

But it might bring Air America to Dallas before long.

[anarchy1999]

7. Okay, so ClearChannel "don't owns klif". Who does?

I've been googling and I've traced it down this far. I'm tired and I quit for tonight. Glad just to still have some good grammer left intact, I hope.

8. Here is more info on them

http://www.susquehannaradio.com/aboutus/history.asp


Today, Susquehanna Radio Corp. is the 12th largest radio broadcasting company in the United States (based upon 2003 pro forma net revenue). The company owns and/or operates 21 FM and 11 AM stations in eight markets including Atlanta, GA; Cincinnati, OH; Dallas, TX; Houston, TX; Indianapolis, IN; Kansas City, MO; San Francisco, CA; and York, PA.


Take a look at KLIF webpage..their poll about their billboards and the HORRIBLY inflaming commercial that local stations refused to run.
Also on their main page is a link to their advertisers..wonder if calling them and threatening boycott$ would help???

12. Gawd! I listen quite a bit and YIKES!

Sometimes I call-in and rantat the afternoon host, Greg Knapp, he's a lunatic! Btw: They are owned by FAUX news.

[tx_dem41]

17. They are NOT owned by Faux News.

They are an affiliate. A big difference. They are owned by Susquehanna Broadcasting.
