[LTR]

From Clear Channel Communications, San Diego, Aug. 20:

Clear Channel Communications San Diego press release: Clear Channel Radio announced today the launch of KLSD AM 1360, San Diego’s Progressive Talk Station, featuring Air America Radio Network programming beginning Monday, August 23, 2004.
The new “progressive” talk format is a radical new talk format in the San Diego Radio market. The station was created to utilize a combination of local and nationally renowned personalities that reflect the viewpoint of a large segment of the San Diego community.
"San Diego has been clamoring for a new talk radio station like this and we think our mixture of Stacy Taylor along with some of Air America Radio's personalities like Al Franken and other progressive talk show hosts will satisfy that need," said Cliff Albert, Program Director, KLSD AM 1360.

“We are excited about coming to San Diego,” said Doug Kreeger, CEO of Air America Radio. “This city now has an opportunity to voice its local and national concerns. In other parts of the country we found that a strong loyalty to Air America Radio was quickly established. We have a successful track record with our partners at Clear Channel that we are confident will be extended to San Diego.”

The following is the KLSD AM 1360 Radio weekday programming line-up:

6 a.m. - 9 a.m. The Stacy Taylor Show
9 a.m. - 12 p.m. The Al Franken Show
12 p.m. - 3 p.m. The Ed Schultz Show
3 p.m. - 6 p.m. The Randi Rhodes Show
6 p.m. - 9 p.m. The Ray Lucia Show
9 p.m. - 12 a.m. The Lionel Show
12 a.m. - 3 a.m. Majority Report with Janeane Garofalo
3 a.m. - 6 a.m. Morning Sedition

“There has never been a progressive talk radio format like ‘KLSD AM 1360’ in the San Diego radio community,” said Kelly Kibler, VP & Market Manager for Clear Channel Radio San Diego. “We found a talk radio niche that is under represented in this market and attracts an extremely enlightened and affluent audience. At a local level we try to develop products that reflect the voice of the community and the people we serve. We think KLSD AM 1360 will represent that audience.”

2. Yeah! Where the hell is Malloy!?

I guess we have to be grateful for what we do have! Finally a San Diego station with no Rick or Roger.

There was alrady one caller I heard this morning who was whining that she "...didn't need anymore political commentary on the radio."
