AA- 3 stations in RW areas, need more

[oscar111]

I see AA now has stations in

Florida

N.Carolina..chapel hill

Alaska... anchorage

Perhaps LosAngeles... might be calles RW area.

Plus the usual LW areas up the east coast, across the north, and down the leftwing coast.

We need to grow it into the south, etc, to really expand our voting base. Satellite radio ... well, not many have it.. am band far better.

Aflcio and DNC should subsidize it to ensure their own survival.

1. Right here in the middle of the country would be nice.

2. That's great news! I keep hoping we'll get one in Ga.

I'll be absolutely stunned if we do! Ga. radio is a little better than SC, but not by much. They still both have lots of religious chanels, country music, and RW talk!

I'd love to have JUST ONE LW radio show. I think their ratings would shock the station owners!

3. I poke around a few radio boards

And I've seen some rampant rumors about AAR affiliatesl

Some (and these are just rumors, but do make some sense):

WRLL (1690) Chicago
KOY (1340) Phoenix
KPOP (1360) San Diego
WTNT (570) Washington, DC
KLAC (570) Los Angeles

The Chicago, Washington and LA signals are owned by Clear Channel, who has had great success in Portland and is trying it out in Miami.

Speaking of Chicago...

Chicagoan Fred Eychaner has long been a major Democratic fundraiser as well as a significant player behind the scenes in local media.

And, as Robert Feder reports this week, Eychaner has been reinvesting proceeds from his sale of WPWR Ch. 50 into buying up small area radio stations to be part of his Newsweb Corp. group.

That group now includes four FM and five AM stations on the local dial, which leads me to speculate in a hint-hint sort of way that one of them may soon become a home for the fledgling liberal talk network, Air America. The programming, featuring comedian/author Al Franken, was yanked from the local airwaves several months ago because of a contract dispute between the network and the owners of the station.

Newsweb's stations:

WKIE-FM (92.7)
WKIF-FM (92.7)
WDEK-FM (92.5)
WRZA-FM (99.9)
WNDZ-AM (750)
WCSN-AM (820)
WAIT-AM (850)
WSBC-AM (1240)
WCFJ-AM (1470).

4. Maybe someday "Newsweb" could become our "Newscorp" and...

Eyechanner will become the Left's Murdoch!

5. Chapel Hill nor the area around it

is right-wing.
