Wausau lost liberal radio [View all]

[HelenWheels]

Our area had a liberal line up that included Bill Press, Ed Schultz and Tom Hartman. It was off the air Monday so I called the station's owner, Steve. He told me businesses wouldn't buy time as they feared blow back from conservatives. The only Democrat that bought advertising was Jeff Johnson who was running for Assembly. The stations' owner even went to Mandy Wright and Tammy Baldwin and they refused to buy any time. I doubt if many Democrats called and thanked him for carrying the liberal hosts. He was losing money and could no longer carry the liberals.

I guess we just keep shooting ourselves in the foot. How hard would it have been for Dems to call the station or for Mandy and Tammy to buy time?
