KPOJ wasn't the first station featuring liberal talk in the Portland area, and now we know it won't be the last. KBOO isn't as predictable and there's a lot of different formats/interests represented, but it's community-owned and won't get shut down on some millionaire's whim. Plus, it's FM, so you get Grateful Dead concert reruns in stereo. http://kboo.fm

IMHO shutting down KPOJ right after the election is a pretty obvious revenge move. Sucks, but what can we do? Until we have a community-owned liberal talk station, we'll always be subject to the vicissitudes of corporate capitalists.

KpoJ and Bain capital zwyziec Nov 2012 #6

The rationalization of "lower ratings" is crap. KPOJ is only 25,000 watts compared to 50,000 watts cascadiance Nov 2012 #7
