Contrary to the news on all the major networks, Liberal talk radio has not just begun. Air America is off to a Kick-butt Start and they're just the beginning of a whole WORLD of Progressive media Content, if you're not already familiar with it, that's been in existence and coming into existence, all aimed at sending George W. Bush Back to Crawford, and taking back the congress from the far right wingers who are trying to radically change America; a bloggish article.
Air America Radio goes live, joining a host of other already up and running talk radio, talk internet and soon to arrive liberal cable programs...
Today, there's a huge amount of major media coverage of the new kid on the block, Air America Radio. But they are not alone. There are new liberal talk shows, networks and cable operations either up and running or on the verge of going live. These will be a strong supplement to the existing liberal and progressive news and opinion websites and blogs that already serve millions of visitors daily.
Air America Radio, fielding Al Franken, Jeanene Garafalo, Chuck D,, environmental activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and a team that will cover the airwaves from 6:00 AM through midnight EST, will start broadcasting today. The cities they will be covering on opening day include:
New York - WLIB 1190AM
Los Angeles - KBLA 1580
Chicago - WNTD 950 AM
Portland, OR - KPOJ 620 AM
Inland Empire, CA - KCAA 1050 AM
Minneapolis MN - WMNN 1330AM
If you can dial them in, make sure to contact the station and let them know how happy you are that they are carrying the shows. Then, make sure you support the local advertisers. Tell them you are doing business with them specifically because of the network. Tell them you weren't doing business with them before if that's the case, and tell them how much more you appreciate them for supporting the network if you were already a customer.
If you can't tune in the dial, you can also tune in to Channel 167 on XM Satellite Radio. Email them to let them know you are listening. And if you don't have XM radio, then the website www.airamericaradio.com is promised to have the show accessible by streaming audio on the net.
Here's the anticipated lineup, according to a press release from XM sattelite radio:
