If you're a progressive researcher, red flashing lights will go on in your brain and a siren will go off as you read one key word in the following and not just for the usual reasons:
It appears that Air America, the liberal talk-radio network, won't be on the air much longer in Dallas-Fort Worth.
Guadalupe Radio Network, a Midland-based Catholic broadcasting company, has announced on its Web site that it will take over two Dallas-Fort Worth stations as of Oct. 1: KXEB/910 AM, which is Air America's Dallas-Fort Worth station, and KJON/850 AM. Guadalupe Radio will broadcast in English on KXEB and in Spanish on KJON.
Midland? Midland??? You mean Bush's "real hometown"? You mean the hometown of Laura Bush? Why, it surely must be a coincidence! Yes, yes, I'm sure it is... Yes, I'm really, really sure.
The change will take place on October 1; this site (directs us to the homepage of the NeoCon Catholic group that's buying the stations.
From the first report:
It didn't debut in Dallas-Fort Worth until March 2005, and it never really registered in the local Arbitron ratings. Coincidentally, Al Franken: God Spoke, a documentary featuring Air America's best-known host, is scheduled to open Sept. 29 at Dallas' Angelika Film Center -- two days before Guadalupe Radio takes over KXEB.
Perhaps Al Franken could lead a crusade or something to keep the FCC from approving the buyout.
>>God Spoke
..and said get that AAR crap off the Dallas airwaves!
ooh, they're giving away tickets to see Al "Convenient Lie"
Gore speak on Sept 30; coincidentally their last day as an AAR station!
About time there is a Catholic station in DFW. I have always been annoyed that EWTN doesn't broadcast here.
Bye bye
