If a tree fell in the forest and nobody was around to hear it, did it make a sound?<\/p>\n
The answer is “yes”, and with that I breeze right past an old chestnut of a Zen riddle.<\/p>\n
The analogious question concerns the news that broke yesterday.\u00c2\u00a0 Air America Radio is now dead.\u00c2\u00a0 So it is every conservative talk radio host will get in one last dig, and other than that nobody noticed.\u00c2\u00a0 The quote-in-quote “Progressive” talk radio format, such as that is, long moved past “Air America”.\u00c2\u00a0 The most viable hosts on that channel long moved past Air America.\u00c2\u00a0 Al Franken is in the Senate, Rachel Maddcow is on the television, Thom Hartman has a different syndicate, Randi Rhodes is with Clear Channel, and Mike Malloy self-syndicates.\u00c2\u00a0 Today’s KPOJ programmer faces the daunting task of replacing programming for the hours of 6-8 pm and 11 pm -3 am.\u00c2\u00a0 I imagine the 6 to 8 slot will be filled in with something temporarily, in the expectation that Ron Reagan will be picked up by someone shortly — similar to what they did with Randi Rhodes.<\/p>\n
As for 11 pm to 3 am… whatever moves the meter.\u00c2\u00a0 Hey!\u00c2\u00a0 They have Alan Colmes!<\/p>\n
The weekend schedule is where they face a task… and you know, for what that’s worth.\u00c2\u00a0 Its broadcast of “Air America” programming seem as much a dumping ground as anything else. I imagine that they’ll slot in Stephanie Miller broadcasts for Sunday, as they currently do on Saturday.\u00c2\u00a0 Er… Alan Colmes on Saturday, as they currently do on Sunday.\u00c2\u00a0 After that, I have no idea.\u00c2\u00a0 They have to find something to replace Lionel.\u00c2\u00a0 Lionel, I never understood.\u00c2\u00a0 He was with WOR and syndicated from there, then he made this weird career move and signed with Air America.\u00c2\u00a0 That career move never made much sense to me, and maybe it doesn’t any more for him either.<\/p>\n
Maybe they can put on a new local show with host Heidi Tauber.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
