Important Announcement (KJFK libtalk gone)
KJFK ^ | 3/6/13 | KJFK

Posted on 03/16/2013 12:55:20 PM PDT by raccoonradio

As of March 18th, “AM with I.Q., 1230 KJFK” will no longer be on-the air.

KJFK recently passed the mark of 8 years as Northern Nevada’s only voice of the Progressive viewpoint. A lone voice apart from other radio stations in Reno airing views, information and attitudes from those who hold a Conservative ideology, and by the way, in competition with us for the ears of people interested the issues so vital to our country.

Given the volume of rhetoric dispensed on-air from “the other side”, we felt it vital to remain on-the-air through the 2012 General Election, despite the fact that KJFK has operated at a loss of thousands of dollars a month. Since we launched the station with an appearance by Al Franken in 2005, when nearly 500 people joined us at the Atlantis for now Senator Franken's appearance just days after we hit the air, we’ve known a passionate audience has been with us all along. Unfortunately, this station was never able to generate the revenue necessary to sustain, and we simply cannot absorb the financial loss any longer.

This current webpage will soon be gone, but replaced with a new page featuring an online player that offers a line-up of some of the shows KJFK has been honored to bring you through the years. You can access these programs on your computer or mobile device. Many of the hosts offer podcasting at their websites. If possible, support the hosts themselves by subscribing. In any case, please continue to seek out truth you may not be offered courtesy other over-the-air talk forums. Please take a moment to explore the online player here. We will continue this new page at our current website www.1230kjfk.com for the foreseeable future.

Through this online source, you can access the passion of Stephanie Miller, Ed Schultz, Thom Hartmann, Bill Press, Mike Malloy, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and others. Below, you’ll find links to your favorite shows that may not be offered on the new player. Thank you.

Businesses need to make money and even in Dingy Harry’s home state nobody wanted it. (Also in Boston the longtime progressive weekly Boston Phoenix is shutting down after almost 47 years)

I’m sure El Bozo will send some taxpayer-confiscated cash their way, a token of thanks for helping him and Dingy Harry get re-elected.

Yeah, we got npr but like kjfk (cute, using the “jfk” as part of their call sign) the audience is mostly..........non-existent. Just one more thing to make today a beautiful day in Reno. So long losers. Don’t let your one way door hit you in the butt. Seems like the radical left wing extremist demokkkrat scumbags have a hard time finding anybody to listen to them on air. Hey, maybe aljazzeera will want to pick them up for cheap. Well, at least cheaper than (non)current tv. Nice score algore. Cha Ching!

Yeah, and their tone is one of disbelief and bewilderment.
They have absolutely no idea why their ‘message’ is unpopular in such media.

from their facebook group (SCHADENFREUDE!)

—:( Super bummed to hear you go.

—I can’t believe KJFK is going off the air. This is the only station I listen to everyday. What are we supposed to do now?

—SO SAD to be losing you!! You’re the ONLY terrestrial station I listen to!! #crying in my coffee

-—Why didn’t the listeners know in advance of a week, that KJFK NEEDED support and was leaving the airwaves-? I would have supported a Pledge Drive- I have only been here 2 years and KJFK is the best thing here in Reno...there’s nothing else-when you can get AM radio.
Heck, I would have knocked on doors to keep y’alls on the air. No more progressive talk radio in Northern Nevada after this Sunday ? Just SAD.. and No more GIANTS basseball ? Thank you for your service..

It sounds like KJFK is looking for someone to bail the losers out. Maybe Daddy Warbucks Soros will come through with some big money. Their National Socialist Nazi “passion” is in danger of no longer being able to pollute the Nevada air.

Schadenfreude is a beautiful thing. What I don’t understand is: if Nevada is full of patriotic conservatives, then where does that bilge-rat Harry Reid come from?

Vegas unions. Vegas population trumps the rest of the state with no problem. Like most population dense cities, they, unfortunately swing the electoral votes and senatorial votes along the lines of the radical left wing extremist demokkkrat scumbags(RLWEDS). We barely squeeked in a repub from the Reno are as the other NV senator. But hey, we’re tryin’ to do what we can. Reno is a real mixed bag since there are a lot of hispanics here. Trespassers or otherwise. Don’t quite understand what they see in the RLWEDS but they do.

I caught some coverage of the World Baseball Championship or whatever it was called on ordinary ESPN. The game (Dominican Republic versus Puerto Rico) announcers were speaking Spanish and many of the commercials were as well.

It being baseball, I had no trouble at all following the game...the commercials were pretty easy to understand too!

This was not on some unusual channel. It was the same American ESPN I watch from time to time. Last night was Notre Dame (in LIME GREEN uniforms losing to Louisville)

“What I don’t understand is: if Nevada is full of patriotic conservatives, then where does that bilge-rat Harry Reid come from?”

Corruptocrats and union mobs in Vegas, and an endless stream of Californians flooding over the mountains like a horde of locusts.

Maybe a conservative company will buy the station and it will broadcast conservative talk.
