Sunday talk show tip sheetBy DANIEL W. REILLY 8/30/08 12:15 PM EST Sunday’s eyes will be on Minneapolis-St. Paul, with the morning talk shows turning their Klieg lights on the Republicans on the eve of their national convention. “Fox News Sunday” lands the biggest scoop — the Republican presidential nominee in waiting, John McCain, as he prepares to accept the nomination. Look for Fox host Chris Wallace to press the Arizona senator on his stunning choice for a running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. Buttressing the candidate himself, his top surrogates also fan out across the Sunday airwaves. On CBS,...

I often compare Rush to Babe Ruth. Ruth forever changed the sport of baseball. Rush has forever changed the medium of broadcasting – not just talk radio, not just radio, but broadcasting.If Rush had only revived the AM band of radio that would have been a historic achievement. If Rush had only been affiliated with more than 600 radio stations, that would have been a historic achievement. If Rush had only attracted an audience of more than 20 million listeners, that would have been a historic achievement. If Rush had only led the way for several hundred other talk...

Please limit your responses to 300 words, and we'll consider them for next Sunday's Forum There's a mournful hush in Sacramento these days, the empty sound of an entire political viewpoint quieted. More than 32,000 weekly listeners who once tuned to KSAC (1240 AM) to hear partisan Democrats beat up on President George W. Bush, now hear only Christian hip-hop.

WASHINGTON (Army News Service, April 14, 2008) - Every Monday night at 8 p.m. a group of Army wives gathers to hear news, relationship advice, parenting tips and deployment support, but this isn't your traditional readiness or support group. Most of the women haven't met and don't even know each other's names. But over the Internet radio waves and blogs, "Army Wife Talk Radio" founder and host Tara Crooks tries to help Army Families and empower Army spouses. "I just wanted to mention how much fun I had yesterday rocking out to last month's AWTR shows on my Ipod! It...

February 21, 2008: Vermont businessman and former state government official Charlie Kireker is becoming Chair of the board of Air America Radio as his newly formed Pendulum Media agrees to purchase a controlling interest in the liberal talk network from Green Family Media. Kireker takes over from Stephen Green, who will remain on the Air America board. Green Family Media completed its purchase of Air America from Piquant LLC in March 2007, six months after the network filed for bankruptcy under previous owner Piquant LLC. Air America President Mark Green and COO Scott Elberg will remain in place under the...

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- The ABC7 I-Team has the inside story of what lead up to the arrest of popular talk-radio host, Bernie Ward, on federal child pornography charges. It's an investigation you'll see Only On 7. We warn you that some of the information is graphic. Bernie Ward got indicted in December and got fired from his job at KGO Radio, effective at the end of last year. Now, police reports just obtained by the I-Team tell us who blew the whistle on Ward, and how he came to send the woman child porn, by his own admission. The...

CPC delegation leaves for visit to DPRK A six-member delegation of the Communist Party of China (CPC) left here Tuesday for a visit to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).

>While more lawmakers are going hybrid-green, the Capitol's most powerful Democrat was rolling candy-apple red in a $38,600 Dodge Charger with 22-inch rims, yo. Turns out Perata, D-Oakland, was far from alone among state lawmakers -- and not even in the top 10 -- in his taste for gas-slurping automotive luxury at mostly taxpayer expense. More than half the senators who use state-leased cars opt for traditional gas vehicles that get 20 combined city/highway miles or less per gallon... The Assembly, which offers a lease break for members who choose hybrids, fares greener. Nearly two-thirds of the 72 members with...

In our daily business, good and bad seems to come our way and we definitely need a solution for all issues and to talk with someone about these issues.

SAN FRANCISCO (Map, News) - Radio talk show host Bernie Ward is considering pleading NO CONTEST to child pornography charges as part of a plea deal offered by federal prosecutors, one of his attorneys confirmed. Jeannette Boudreau, Ward’s business attorney and longtime friend, acknowledged that a five-year sentence has been one of the options discussed but said she wasn’t sure anything had been finalized. The KGO host and former priest faces a maximum sentence of 60 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

New York radio got the first look at its new ratings system Wednesday, creating smiles at mainstream pop and rock stations and causing at least one urban station to say it reads like a death warrant. "These numbers could put us out of business," said Vinny Brown, program director of WBLS. "And it's not just us. Listeners need to know this could threaten the future of black and Hispanic radio across the board." Overall, the October Arbitron ratings put WLTW (106.7 FM) back at No. 1. WHTZ (100.3 FM) was a close second and WCBS-FM (101.1) a strong third, ahead...

"Recently, our good friend, Donald Gallerani, aka. Don in Lake Ronkonkoma, was showered with praise on talk radio by many hosts, including of course Mark Levin, for his book, Everything Worth Knowing I Heard On Talk Radio. As a result, Don updated the back cover of his book to display that. Those are some great endorsements, aren’t they?" For all you talk radio listeners, I know you've heard of Don in Lake Ronkonkoma. He has been an avid listener for quite some time (under exaggerated) and decided to write a book about it. The book also touches on so much...

Another all-sports radio station will launch in San Diego on Oct. 28, according to an internal memo sent out last night by a Clear Channel San Diego vice president. The station currently operating as KLSD-AM 1360 will become XTRA Sports 1360 and feature live and local programming each weekday from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Starting Monday, Oct. 29, Dave Palet and Jeff Dotseth are expected to fill the 6-10 a.m. slot, with updates from Mike Costa. At 10 a.m., Josh Rosenberg will host a two-hour show called "The Sportspage.'' At noon, Chris Ello will begin a three-hour show, while...

It appears your average talk-show host doesn't want to dig too deeply into any current issue -- it's enough to press those hot buttons. For all I know, these people are really nice guys who have been instructed by their superiors to be rabid, bearbaiting bozos while on the air. Perhaps that attracts a bigger audience, one that I won't be part of. Talk radio -- at least the local version we hear these days -- stifles dissent. My choice is to tune it out.

By BILL POOVEY, Associated Press Writer Wed Oct 3, 3:15 AM ET CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - In an unlikely marriage of desire to secede from the United States, two advocacy groups from opposite political traditions — New England and the South — are sitting down to talk. ADVERTISEMENT Tired of foreign wars and what they consider right-wing courts, the Middlebury Institute wants liberal states like Vermont to be able to secede peacefully. That sounds just fine to the League of the South, a conservative group that refuses to give up on Southern independence. "We believe that an independent South, or Hawaii,...

Isn't it always? But enough about Iran, let's talk about me! The same university that shouted down an American anti-illegal-immigration activist and the same university culture that just deemed former Harvard honcho Larry Summers too misogynist to be permitted on campus is now congratulating itself over its commitment to "academic freedom." True, renowned Stanford psychology professor Philip Zimbardo is not happy. "They can have any fascist they want there," said professor Zimbardo, "but this seems egregious." But, hey, don't worry: He was protesting not Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's presence at Columbia but Donald Rumsfeld's presence at the Hoover Institution.... Lots of prime...

FORT HUACHUCA — If some Army captains had their say, senior military officers would not be put in the position of having to testify before congressional committees, as Gen. David Petraeus did Monday and Tuesday before the House of Representatives and the Senate. After watching the general, commander of the Multi-National Force-Iraq, and U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan C. Crocker testify before the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday, the consensus of the 16 captains attending the career course at the Intelligence Center at this Southern Arizona Army post was that the senators were talking and not wanting to...

BURBANK, Calif. (AP) - Republican presidential candidate John McCain said Tuesday the public is yearning to hear the truth from politicians, and he didn't spare his troubled campaign from a critical self-appraisal. "We are doing so poorly I thought maybe I would announce on this show that I'm running for president," McCain told Jay Leno in an appearance taped for broadcast Tuesday night on "The Tonight Show." "We have obviously made mistakes," the Arizona senator said. Lagging in fundraising and national polls, McCain said he was relishing the underdog's role and remained enthusiastic about his chances in 2008. Americans "are...

The conversation now about revival of the Fairness Doctrine, buried by the Federal Communications Commission 20 years ago, shows no idea ever dies. Even the worst ones. The Fairness Doctrine's original logic was that broadcast media were transmitted over limited public airwaves. Therefore, the federal government had an obligation to ensure that competing views were aired. The FCC reasoned in 1987, when it closed the book on this doctrine, that emergence of cable to compete with broadcast had made media markets competitive enough to preclude government policing. If true 20 years ago, how much more so now. The Pew Research...

So, Miss Hillary and Miss Barbara are tired of that right wing radio and are thinking about how to legislatively "fix" the problem. Well, it seems the progressive left not only wants to muffle talk radio, but boost their own voices and not have to worry that no one wants to pay for their "product." On the Friday June 22nd Democracy Now! television program, hostess Amy Goodman interviewed Hannah Sassaman of the Prometheus Radio Project, which she hopes will help small, low-powered radio stations in urban areas spring up, and get "information" out to the community. Sounds like a good...

She asks..."But it's really curious how Mark Levin went from obscurity to a wingnut radio host who is now syndicated across the ABC radio network. How'd he do it?" She also want to know.... " Can one single progressive host claim such a bounce from radio obscurity to syndication? Having worked to get back on the air for over 3 years now, I have to say that it's not easy. No, in fact, it's near impossible for this to happen and absolutely impossible for it to happen if you're a progressive talker.". Hey, I have an idea. I would like...

I was struck by a thought about the use of loaded words while reading a few threads recently. We had a story/ thread on a New Hampshire couple who was protesting taxes. The media described their home as a “compound”. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1853401/posts Then we hear of criminals on the Armed Citizen ping list here at FR. The most famous loaded word there is “alleged”. Watching the Discovery Channel, I am amused by the musings of the writers. A theory, however improbable is made to be the truth by oft inserted words:” If, then, possibly, maybe, etc” Let’s see what the collective...

WHY MEN SHOULD NOT TALK TO WOMEN. (Unless you have too) I was standing and gazing at a supermarket shelf when I overheard a conversation between a young couple nearby. “Do you think we should have the Taglatelli or should we go Chinese for dinner?” The man thought for a moment. “I would prefer Chinese.” He said. “Yes, but we had Chinese last week.” “We had Taglatelli last week as well.” He replied. I knew at this point he was on a loser here. Her question was not really a question at all. It was a ruse designed to look...

I was listening to the Michael Medved show on my way home today, and he said something to a caller in passing that I had never heard before and could not believe. He said it in a very casual manner, and did not expound on it, and I had one of the biggest "What the hell"? moments I have had in a long time. A caller was accusing him of harping on the subject of homosexuality too much. He defended himself by saying that he did not spend alot of time on that subject, and he knew this because talk...

In one of the new joint American-Iraqi security stations in the capital this month, in the volatile Ghazaliya neighborhood, Capt. Darren Fowler was heaping praise on his Iraqi counterparts for helping capture three insurgent suspects who had provided information he believed would save American lives. “The detainee gave us names from the highest to the lowest,” Captain Fowler told the Iraqi soldiers. “He showed us their safe houses, where they store weapons and I.E.D.’s and where they keep kidnap victims, how they get weapons, where weapons come from, how they place I.E.D.’s, attack us and go away. Because you detained...

Tanks keeping illegal immigrants from U.S. borders? Nukes dropped on terrorist sanctuaries? Iraqi insurgent strongholds barb-wired and then decimated? That's just a glimpse into the future should ultra-opinionated radio host Michael Savage have his way and become the next leader of the free world. The highly rated talker, whose books include "The Enemy Within" and "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder: Savage Solutions," announced last month he may leave the airwaves, join the political zoo and run for top office in the United States. Since then, over five million people affirmed they want him to seek the presidency, according to an...

Breaking hard... Developing... Must credit Bore America...

VB will fill in for Howie today. Note: "The Celtics play a rare weekday matinee in Atlanta today as they meet the Hawks for a 2 p.m. start on MLK day." Which means dribble dribble on Howie's flagship station WRKO. You can try WCRN AM 830 in Worcester (hopefully game will be over by 5 pm or so), other Howie affiliates, or Howie's site which I assume will carry his show and not the Celtics!

Now is the time to drop a dime. In state government, it’s back to the future, or actually Bulgaria. Moonbats rule. Ponytails are in; work experience is out. Co-workers have been replaced by comrades. And comrades, if you want to make $125,000, it pays to have experience filing death-row appeals for vicious killers. Just ask, most recently, the state’s new homeland security czarina. The ancient regime is scattered. In the tradition of all losing local candidates, Muffy Healey has set up shop at Camelot High, aka the JFK School of Government. And Mitt, shorn of his armed state police escort,...

Mr. Franken, who is on a U.S.O. tour of Iraq and Afghanistan and says he is owed $360,750 by the network, declined requests for comment. Through Air America’s spokeswoman, he said, that “although I do not know the specific details about A.A.R.’s progress through the Chapter 11 restructuring process, I was pleased to hear that they had received a letter of intent from a prospective buyer.” He added his hope “that the network’s ownership situation and financing difficulties will be resolved while I am away.” When he returns, he faces competition from an unexpected source: Product First’s Ed Schultz, who...

After filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in October, liberal talk radio network Air America has spent the past two months looking for someone to buy it out of the $40 million hole it has dug itself since launching in March 2004. With reports of potential buyers ranging from a group of investors led by two Showtime executives, to a small obscure media company, this week the network finally confirmed that a letter of intent has been signed by an undisclosed potential buyer, and that negotiations have now turned to drafting a purchase agreement to divvy up the $20 million of...

*Progressive talk will soon be history, it seems, in eastern MASSACHUSETTS, as Clear Channel's continued corporate retreat from the format brings a format change at WKOX (1200 Framingham) and WXKS (1430 Everett), which have struggled to find an audience since flipping from leased-time Spanish (on WKOX) and standards (on WXKS) in October 2004. Almost from the first day of the new format, rumors began flying about its possible demise. In the last few weeks, as Air America's financial struggles worsened and other progressive talkers slipped away from the format, the rumors began getting louder. Then, last week, Brian Maloney's "Radio...

Questions for Dr. Louann Brizendine Q: As a professor of neuropsychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco, you’ve drawn some strange conclusions about “The Female Brain,” to borrow the title of your debut book, which argues that a woman’s brain structure explains a good deal of her behavior, including a penchant for gossiping and talking on the phone. The hormone of intimacy is oxytocin, and when women talk to each other, they get a rush of it. For teen girls especially, when they’re talking about who’s hooking up with whom, who’s not talking to whom, who you like and...

Boston may soon have a new Spanish-language radio station as WKOX-AM drops its liberal talk format, sources said. The progressive talk currently heard on WKOX-AM (1200) and WXKS-AM (1430), including Air America Radio, is being dropped in favor of a Spanish-language format sometime in the beginning of next year, several sources said. WKOX and WXKS, which are owned by Clear Channel Communications, air syndicated talk shows from the Jones Radio Network and from the bankrupt Air America Radio network. Station officials confirmed the liberal talk format will be discontinued, but were mum on what will take its place. But sources...

Spinning the dial Fans of "Boston's Progressive Talk Radio" will have to find another outlet soon. Although Clear Channel representatives are not discussing details, the national radio group, which has been selling stations across the country, acknowledges that change is in the works for the two local AMs that carry Air America and related programming -- WXKS-AM (1430) and WKOX-AM (1200). Saying that details will be released within two weeks, Clear Channel vice president of programming "Cadillac Jack" McCartney acknowledged this week that changes are pending and that Air America "is history." . .

A source at Clear Channel has hinted that the two Boston stations running progressive talk/Air America (WKOX 1200, WXKS 1430) may be dumping the format on Friday whether or not Air America finds a buyer. Lower ratings than Kerry in that last poll...could be off air in liberal Boston!

The numbers just don't add up. On "Meet the Press" Sunday morning, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said "the next big challenge" for the state is to obtain health insurance for the 6.7 million Californians without it. ... But just last week, the governor was saying he wanted to get health insurance for only half that number of people. So the coverage, and the cost, effectively have doubled in a week. Host Tim Russert asked the governor where the money would come from in a state that still has a structural budget deficit of more than $5 billion. And Mr. Russert quoted...

Women talk three times as much as men, says study By FIONA MACRAE Last updated at 13:39pm on 28th November 2006 Women talk almost three times as much as men, according to the research. It is something one half of the population has long suspected - and the other half always vocally denied. Women really do talk more than men. In fact, women talk almost three times as much as men, with the average woman chalking up 20,000 words in a day - 13,000 more than the average man. Women also speak more quickly, devote more brainpower to chit-chat -...

WRKO talk jock John DePetro is back in the hot seat and fighting for his job after calling gubernatorial candidate Grace Ross a “fat lesbian” on his radio show yesterday. Sources say Julie Kahn, vice president and New England market manager for Entercom, owner of WRKO-AM (680) and WEEI-AM (850), is “furious.” “This corporation has zero tolerance for this type of nonsense. We have a high standard,” said George Regan of Regan Communications, which represents WRKO. DePetro was pulled off the air today and has been ordered to a meeting at the station. The latest on-air insult comes nearly four...
