Talk radio takes left turn in Albuquerque with arrival of Franken




TRIBUNE STAFF

Starting Monday, Albuquerque radio listeners will be part of a nationwide experiment in talk radio.

Air America Radio Network is coming to the Duke City on KABQ-AM (1350), owned by Clear Channel Radio. The network was established to counter conservative domination of the talk-show format by figures such as Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage and Sean Hannity, all of whom have shows broadcast on other AM stations in Albuquerque.

The format, which begins airing Monday morning, will include Limbaugh archcritic Al Franken, whose show is scheduled to run from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., directly opposite Limbaugh on KKOB-AM (770).

1. Well, whoop-de-do

My internet router is broken, and we STILL don't have AAR in Chicago, so I am going to miss the REAL coverage of the RNC. So stop rubbing it in ;-)

2. Hint: Patronize AAR advertisers when you can...and say

"You know, I heard your add on KABQ..."

weaken the perceived machine's hold on commerce

Thanks for that!

I plan to patronize any local business that advertises on these shows, and I will make sure they know why.

9. comcast loves money more than

it loves bush

it dosen't have rush limpdick ot the savage weenie, and the other rw hacks are pretty marginal here so might as well check out the lefties

10. Wow, this is VIRAL

But the ABQ station is owned by Clear Channel? I thought the AAR M.O. was to own the station. CC is a right-wing outfit, so can we trust 'em? Or are they such capitalists that they'll keep it on as long as it makes money?

By the way, when are we going to get Al Gore TV?
