Another Progressive Talker has reached the end of its lifecycle.

Americom’s 1230 KJFK Reno will cease broadcasting the format on Monday, March 18. In a letter to its listeners, the station states that the format has been operating at a loss but they wished to keep the station on through the past Presidential election.

We lost our local progressive radio station back in January. If you lost yours, check in.

 It was replaced with an all news station that seems to interview only members of the Heritage Foundation for stories they are following. They dumped Stephanie, Thom, Randi and Mike, but kept the local guy Bill Benica. I had to go into town and had Benica on and there is no more talk about politics with him local or otherwise. All he and a guest talked about was movies. So today our local paper the Tribune has a story about it.

Progressive talk radio station KYNS has changed its format, knocking such liberal icons as Stephanie Miller, Thom Hartman, and Ed Schultz off the air in San Luis Obispo County, and leaving local talk radio the near exclusive domain of conservatives like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck.
 
The change to straight news took place at the end of January, and the station, located at 1340 on the AM dial, is not explaining why it made the move. Station manager Aaron Criswell declined repeated requests from The Tribune to say whether poor ratings and a failure to sell advertising doomed the progressive shows.
 
Michael Morin, of Morin Brothers Automotive, who advertised on the progressive shows — some say he was the only advertiser — said a station salesperson told him KYNS was shooting for a more affluent audience.
 
The shift is not going over well with former listeners of KYNS, dozens of whom are scorching an online comment site with blistering attacks on station management.

No, that's not Rush, either.

They told me Rush Limbaugh was doomed.

What's going on here?

Big surprise that DUmmy radio wasn't bringing the big spenders to the sponsors.  :rotf:

Their listeners need larger welfare checks and more foodstamps......and an IPAD instead of just a plain Obamaphone.

Fixed for truth and honesty.

Hmmm. It seems a few poorly managed radio stations couldn't entice enough adds to stay on the air. So in a very capitalist move, the station folded and a new company purchased the channel and started broadcasting.

[DU Logic}and if two stations fold, then ALL stations will fall! So Rush is Doomed! [/DU Logic}

Just imagine if Cable companies went A La Carte on their channels.  BSNBC, CNN, HLN, and the like would be gone in a matter of weeks.

I'd keep HLN. They've been all Jodi Arias trial, all the time.

The Jodi trial has been hilarious, far better than Casey Anthony.

Who can resist Nancy Grace with her Flaming Nostrils of Justice?

Do I wish and I agree.  They would evaporate very quickly.  I hate the fact that my subscription funds the slimy bastards.

I don't know how they exist now.  I assume they are subsidized by there parent networks.  CNN and HLN by turner and MSNBC by NBC.  And of course Comcast owns a majority in NBC Universal so they probably don't pay much if anything to broadcast them and since they have the majority market share in cable they are in more households at a relatively low cost to Comcast.

Mr. Ed Shultz lost his 7pm central timeslot up against Bill, too.

The world is ending. :rofl:
