Freepers, I'm a regular reader here, occasional poster. Love the forum! I hate to post a somewhat self-serving topic but I do think it would be of interest to most here who enjoy conservative talk radio. I host a weekly talk show on WYSL 1040 AM in the Rochester NY market, Saturdays 8 am. Assuming most here are not local to Rochester - it can be heard live on their website, WYSL1040.com and they post the past 4 shows in their podcast section. WYSL carries shows like Quinn and Rose, Michael Savage (they just got him!), Laura Ingraham and my...

OPRAH WINFREY dissed by BARBRA STREISAND and talk show titan is more than miffed --As OWN just can’t get NO respect! Barbra Streisand was so petrified that Oprah would pester her to appear on her troubled network, she crossed the TV titan off the guest list for a black-tie gala. Insiders say Oprah was left out in the cold when Barbra’s good friend, world renowned fashion designer Donna Karan, was honored at the Dream Foundation’s annual gala fundraiser – just a stone’s throw from Oprah’s sprawling Montecito, Calif., estate. “When Donna was drawingup the invite list, she put Oprah at...

If you want to know why President Obama spends so much time talking instead of diligently working to turn the economy around, he gave the answer on Sunday night. In an eye-opening interview on “60 Minutes,” the President said the word “job” 12 times. Seven of them were in reference to his own job or that of his attorney general. Three of them came in this statement: “It is my job to put forward a vision of the country that benefits the vast majority of Americans. It is my job to make sure that my party is behind those

Dolphins "talk" to each other, using the same process to make their high-pitched sounds as humans, according to a new analysis of results from a 1970s experiment. The findings mean dolphins don't actually whistle as has been long thought, but instead rely on vibrations of tissues in their nasal cavities that are analogous to our vocal cords.

The Rev. Al Sharpton abruptly backed out yesterday of a symposium on the 1991 Crown Heights riots after his invitation triggered outrage. Sharpton said he would not appear on a panel discussing the "State of Black-Jewish Relations: Twenty Years After Crown Heights" because it would "pain" Norman Rosenbaum, whose brother Yankel was stabbed to death during four days of rioting. After the invitation to Sunday's symposium at The Hampton Synagogue on Long Island was disclosed, Rosenbaum denounced it as "an absolute disgrace." He said Sharpton's "vile rhetoric incited the rioting."

NEW YORK (AP) -- The TBS network is canceling George Lopez's nightly talk show. The network says Lopez's Thursday night show will be the final one. "Lopez Tonight" is in its second season.

Talk show pioneer. Best selling author. Incredibly successful business woman. Actress. Philanthropist. Billionaire. "Most influential woman in the world." Oprah Winfrey, the King Midas of her day, is ending her 25-year, multi-award-winning talk show this May, signaling the end of a staple in 21st century television. But amid all the fawning retrospectives and misty tributes, it's important to remember just who Oprah is, the biased viewpoint she represents and the damage she's done to popular culture.

NEW YORK— FOX News and Mercury Radio Arts, Glenn Beck’s production company, are proud to announce that they will work together to develop and produce a variety of television projects for air on the FOX News Channel (FNC) as well as content for other platforms including FOX News’ digital properties. Glenn intends to transition off of his daily program, the third highest rated in all of cable news, later this year. Roger Ailes, Chairman and CEO of FOX News said, “Glenn Beck is a powerful communicator, a creative entrepreneur and a true success by anybody’s standards. I look forward to...

Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee (I.) will soon send out a directive that state employees may not call into or spend any time on talk radio during state time. Chafee doesn’t think state resources should be used for “ratings driven, for-profit programming.” NPR of course, will be exempt. But is this really a problem in Rhode Island? Has there been some sort of epidemic of state workers ignoring their responsibilities and showing up on talk radio? A very small percentage of listeners actually call into talk shows, and of those callers a minuscule number of them are state workers on...

N.K. says inter-Korean talks must be resumed SEOUL, Jan. 5 (Yonhap) -- North Korea said on Wednesday the two Koreas must reopen governmental talks with no conditions attached. The North made the proposal in a joint statement adopted in a meeting of its government, political parties and social organizations.

The biggest battle in the lame duck session of Congress may well be over whether or not to extend the Bush administration's tax cuts, scheduled to expire in January. The fact that this decision has been left until late in the eleventh hour, even though the expiration date has been known for years, tells us a lot about the utter irresponsibility of Congress... Theoretically, the Democrats could win, hands down, since they have the votes. But Congressional Democrats are well aware of how they lost big in the recent election, and some Democrats don't want to gamble their own jobs...

(SEATTLE, WA) -- The bloom is off the rose for conservative talk radio in some markets around the country and a landmark station in that format in Seattle has joined the ranks of others who have decided to move on – and not in the vein of moveon.org, format wise. KVI-AM radio - after some 15 years in the conservative talk format and being the legacy station that launched that format for the first time in Seattle – is leaving the format to go to Rock Oldies, according to Fisher Communications, which owns the station ...

Is there anything that Sarah Palin says that doesn’t get twisted by the liberal media? In response to a clip of an “Entertainment Tonight” interview with Sarah Palin, the ladies of ‘The Talk’ misconstrue Palin’s response in order to project her as ignorant. The highlighted interview question was “How does it feel to be one of the most polarizing figures in America today?” Palin replied “I think that that is a bit perplexing, because I think what is polarizing about believing in the United States Constitution and our Declaration of Independence and all those things that it stands for and...

As Obama administration officials put into place the first major wave of changes under the health care legislation, they have tried to defuse stiffening resistance — from companies like McDonald’s and some insurers — by granting dozens of waivers to maintain even minimal coverage far below the new law’s standards. The waivers have been issued in the last several weeks as part of a broader strategic effort to stave off threats by some health insurers to abandon markets, drop out of the business altogether or refuse to sell certain policies.

In a Labor Day address touting how the economy is moving in the right direction if you hold it up to a mirror, Obama went off prompter for a second... You can view the video embedded in the original post here or at YouTube If he wants his critics to stop talking about him "like a dog" then he should stop lying like one.

First they had to pass it so we could find out what’s in it, and now they know what’s in it but they can’t talk about it: The progressive coalition Health Care for America Now fought hard to pass health care reform. Now it’s fighting hard to help reelect lawmakers who voted for the bill — even if it means not talking about it. While polls show that health reform has become slightly more popular since passage, it’s still a polarizing issue, particularly in districts where Republicans and conservative groups have bombarded voters with negative ads. Now, HCAN’s field crews...

No explanation given for the cancellation Controversial televangelist Zakir Naik’s talk at North America’s largest Islamic gathering Saturday night was considered by many to be “the heart of the journey,” but two cancellations later, many are wondering why his voice was stilled. After being banned from Canada for his controversial remarks, Naik was to have given Saturday’s keynote address by live video conferencing at Journey of Faith, the Islamic gathering held on the weekend at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

It was but only a short six years ago today that Air America first began arriving over the airwaves and to your ears. That is if you lived in the small micro-chasm that actually had it on the dial when it first aired. Even though you showed promising growth the first two years, but eventually lying about the amount of venture capital you had was your undoing. Oh wait, that’s not right, you’re undoing was your abysmal ratings...

Wasn't sure where to post this but .. here goes anyway. I am looking for a site similar to what I use now called: radiotime.com I am not interested in music, only talk radio. radiotime allows you to search for stations based upon your preferences and when you find them .. save them in your presets and listen when that paticular show is on. The problem that I have with radiotime now is that .. for the last six months .. the shows and times of the shows are never what they are displayed as. I REALLY need to find...

Newsmax first reported that Organizing for America, the community organizing outfit under the auspices of the Democratic National Committee, has launched a plan to inundate talk radio shows with callers. The action will occur when a particular radio show is discussing ObamaCare. This is an extension of OFA’s and Health Care for America Now’s campaign to flood last summer’s town hall meetings with union members and left-wing activists supporting Obama’s government takeover of health care. The intent then, just as it is now, was to drown out average taxpayers showing up to voice their concerns or vent their frustrations. The...

Dem Astroturfing Campaign Targets Conservative Talk Radio By Lachlan Markay Created 02/26/2010 - 13:16 Conservative dominance of the talk radio airwaves continues, but liberals are making concerted efforts to get their voices heard through large top-down campaigns. Organizing for America--the campaign arm of the Obama administration--is rolling out the astroturf in an effort to get liberal voices heard on the nation's most popular (i.e. conservative) talk radio shows. The campaign is called "On the Air." Visitors at radio.barackobama.com [1] (talk about grassroots!) are provided with a phone number of a conservative talk radio show, and a list of health care...

The Democratic National Committee's Organizing for America has quietly launched an initiative aimed at making Obama supporters' voices heard on the largely conservative airwaves. "The fate of health reform has been a focus of debate in living rooms and offices, on TV and online -- and on talk radio. And since millions of folks turn to talk radio as a trusted source of news and opinions, we need to make sure OFA supporters are calling in with a pro-reform message," says the introduction to the online tool. The online tool presents users with a radio show discussing political topics, to...

TALEBAN go-betweens are trying to broker an 11th-hour peace deal with militants in Marjah, on the eve of a massive operation to clear the insurgents from their central Helmand stronghold. Interior minister Hanif Atmar led talks with "relatives of the Afghan Taleban" in the capital of Helmand province yesterday, as more than 15,000 soldiers prepare for Operation Moshtarak, or Tog-etherness. Nato's decision to deliberately hype the operation, which they've been talking about since November, appeared to have eroded the resolve of at least some of the insurgents, although officially the Taleban have vowed to stay and fight.

Beyond left or right: Last night Obama called for bipartisanship. And last night on Larry King, the pundits delivered. The bipartisan consensus is that Obama’s speech was crafted from poll-tested ideas and focus groups. Some comments from the video: * Focus group tested within an inch of his life. * Did not make the middle class a priority. * Conveyor belt of poll-tested ideas. * Obama simply ‘checked political boxes.’ * Obama’s sin: Hubris. * Obama is arrogant… assuming people do not like healthcare because Obama didn’t explain it clearly.

Opinionated talk is big business on cable news networks when the sun goes down. During the day, though, it's the opposite. MSNBC is shuffling its daytime lineup early next year because its strategy of spreading personality-driven programming throughout the schedule isn't working. The new approach will emphasize a fast-paced review of the day's big stories as they break.

Senate passage of hate-crimes bill wins plaudits By Eric Fingerhut · July 17, 2009 Jewish groups are hailing the Senate's passage of legislation expanding federal involvement in hate crimes. The Jewish Council for Public Affairs, Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism and B'nai B'rith International have all released statements today praising the vote attaching the hate-crimes bill to the defense authorization bill. "Bias-motivated crimes have terrorized families and communities for far too long," said RAC director Rabbi David Saperstein. "The Senate’s vote for the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act is a celebration of tolerance and respect and will give...

ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, FL -- A central Florida radio talk show host has lost his job, several days after being arrested for allegedly shooting and injuring his wife and dog. Officials at Clear Channel Communications terminated 43-year-old Shannon Burke's contract on Monday. He had hosted a show on Real Radio 104.1 Authorities say Burke was at his Altamonte Springs home Thursday night when he fired a shot that went through his dog's leg and then grazed his wife. Burke told deputies that he had become angry with the animal and began waiving around the gun, which he thought was unloaded. That...

It has been reported that UPS will stop advertising on the Orielly factor because of pressure from groups funded by George Soros. They are also pressuring other advertisers that advertise on his show to pull out. If this tactic works they will certainly move on to talk radio and anyone else that is not a fascist lemming. Rose on the Quinn and Rose show suggested that the 9/12ers and we surround them and others particiapate in a letter writing campaign to UPS and excoriate them, and to the other advertisers on his show and other shows, offer praise and and...

Hey folks, Harry here... I don't know about you, but I have an eternal love for Maurice LaMarche due to his voice work as THE BRAIN from PINKY AND THE BRAIN. So when I received an email telling me that The Brain was declaring this date "3-22" forever to be INTERNATIONAL TALK LIKE WILLIAM SHATNER day... including his expert advice on how to Talk like William Shatner... well... I had to share. Only 192 people had seen his podcast - and that number needs to go up significantly. I mean... on June 4th you can own Kirk's Captain chair for...

A top economic adviser to US President Barack Obama, along with nine former senior officials, is calling on the American leader to launch a dialogue with Hamas, the The Boston Globe reported Saturday. SLIDESHOW: Israel & Region | World According to the report, Paul A. Volcker and other members of the bipartisan group - including former national security advisers Brent Scowcroft and Zbigniew Brzezinski - have sent a letter to Obama urging him to engage Hamas in order to coax the terrorist organization to disarm and join a peaceful Palestinian unity government.

Barely a month into the presidency of Barack Obama, a profound realization is spreading among the pro-Israel community: we do not have an ally in the White House. The growing threat that Israel and the Jewish People now face demands an immediate acceptance of the "facts on the ground" regarding President Obama's perspective and agenda, and decisive action to prevent the frightening reality that he may play a leading role in creating.
