Rich,
Generally in the UK we have a relaxed and permissive attitude and on air presenters do not try to make fools of those who 'phone in. Mike. |

I have to wonder why he needed all those painkillers when he has such a cushy job in radio. A cushy job in radio prevents pain? |

None of them are competitive, from a signal standpoint, with the stations that air the right-of-center programs. The LA station on 1580 is a 50kw, that dumps most of its power over the Pacific Ocean (to protect stations in Mexico....) If you're referring to the former KDAY in Santa Monica, it has a decent signal to the North but does have to protect the Mexican (used to be XEDM, I believe) on the same frequency. It is only moderately listenable in the San Fernando Valley in the daytime, and virtually useless there at night. That is to the North. 1580 in the US protects, if I am not mistaken, the B assignments in both the US and Canada. And XEDM in Hermosillo, a non-directional 50 kw station, virtually wipes it out in the fringe areas at night. |

Unfortunately, making fools of callers is what drives most US Talk Radio. We get a reprieve on the weekends when the "lifestyle" shows predominate. It's hard for a pet show to make mean-spiriited fun of someone who chooses a pig as a pet. You can criticize our President, but keep your opinions to yourself when it comes to our pets. In this case, the pig is smarter. Rich |

@xuxa.iecc.com: I wonder if the new station, Air America, will be welcomed to widen the dialogue. Will advertisers aim to the liberal market? So far today, the only advertising has been PSAs, promos for other programs, and an XM trade. And Franken pushing his books, of course. G. Gordon Liddy calling in from his show to congratulate Franken on HIS show is a nice touch. FWIW, Air America is streaming at: http://play.rbn.com/?url=airam/airam/live/live.rm off of http://airamericaradio.com. -- |I always wanted to be someone,| Tom Betz, Generalist | |but now I think I should have | Want to send me email? | |been a wee bit more specific. | http://tinyurl.com/ps2u | |
