I listen to the internet and Sirius radio mostly. Randi Rhodes is on in Palm Beach 1230 am from 3-6 but that is about it. I listen to local host Nicole Sandler on Radioornot.com from 10-12.

I’m planning on moving down to Miami in a couple of months. Have there been any changes to the Miami talk radio scene?

Apart from WLRN 91.3, is there any outlet for Progressive Radio?

Thanks.

I don’t like the right wing stations too clowny and no substance. Rush Limbaugh always sounds like he is on drugs. To me, its all about politics and money. It was nice having Nicole Sandler with a local staion to call in. Tom Hartman was the best, and so inteligent, I could listen to him all day. I will send a complaint to the FCC, and also contact 850 wftl. Don’t know if it will help, but, at least I feel like I am doing something.

Could it be about politics? Could be, but I doubt it. If Clear Channel could make a financial killing with any format, believe me they would. The problem is with the shows that they air.”

My2bucks, I think it may actually be politics. I really think that Clear Channel may have their own agenda that they’re working on. This may be their warped way of doing things for their own greater good. Don’t they have a lot more to lose (financialy) with Obama in power. I have always thought of Clear Channel as greedy and power hungry.

I have an updated post and will add it there as well.

To make change (Yes, we can), simply call, write, or email WFTL 850 radio and let them know they have a ‘Progressive Audience’ waiting for them and their advertisers.

I am an on the road sales rep and listened to Randi Rhodes and Thom Hartmann everyday. This is just awful. I wish they’d find a way to get back on the air, until then, they are truly missed. It’s as if they’re trying to force us to listen to the right wing crap. Never.

relative and ambiguous to my mind.

This actually leaves us with 3, yes 3, very right wing talk stations in this area. Thank you, NPR, as the only remaining voice worth listening to. I believe that, we, the listening public, are the only ones that can effect any change. With radio station ownership in so few hands, local radio coverage is non-existant, and a variety of opinions is difficult to come by. I guess that this is why the Fairness Doctrine (limiting ownership of media blocs), or something similar is so important. Maybe we should press members of Congress, as well as the FCC on this matter. I miss Rachel Maddow Thom Hartmann, Randi Rhodes (very much! – abrasive, but always did such great research on everything she presented). We really need other voices on our local stations!
