"The Voice of Reason" has been silenced.
Beginning today, WHLD-AM News Talk 1270's short-lived experiment in progressive programming - featuring locally produced broadcasts and syndicated shows from Air America Radio and Pacifica - has been converted to an urban inspirational station.
...
The new station will include gospel music, talk radio and brokered time, in which churches buy air time and produce their own shows.

One less "Progressive" radio station.
I always found their pretentious name funny.

'Progressive' is a term stolen from Teddy Roosevelt Republicans.

Not to worry!
Air America is about to become Taxpayer Funded!

brokered time Nice way of saying "PAID PROGRAMMING". Imagine that, infomercials (mostly get rich quick, get laid quick, grow hair quick, and other scams) generate more audience than progressive radio.

Also, Ed Koch used that term on his ante-Rush show on WABC 770.
Ed has his problems, but the sing-songy way he said, "The voice of reason" told me he was half tongue in cheek. It wasn't so much that he was the voice of reason, but that Dinkins was the voice of irrationality.

Remember the line from "As Good As It Gets".
How is it you write liberals so well?
"I think of a Republican, and take away reason and accountability."

I tried listening to it one morning while driving to work. The local hosts were giggling about how Ann Coulter was going to go to jail for voting at the wrong place. And that was pretty much all they had to say.
Never listened since!
