Glad to finally have them on the air. I just hope they getr on more and more stations before long. At least it is streaming.

They've been putting up ads for it in the subway today. Hopefully, it would attract listeners.

Have a very nice day.

And now comes the big thing..... WILL ANYONE LISTEN?

That it seems has been the problem as it seems(If we fully embrase sterotypes) Beer Drinking Dynmite using Right Wingers are much much more likley to owe a radio that Ultra Vegan Peacenick Left Wingers

Remeber I said embrasing sterotypes in all their Sunday Political Cartoon glory

Whoever is on right now sucks ass. I think I'll stick with The O'Franken Factor.

The interesting thing is that even if this Liberal Radio succeeds, it won't detract from the Conservative Radio audience.

How is that at all interesting? It's rather obvious that if you can stand to listen to Rush, you don't want to hear liberal things.

True enough, the question becomes are there twenty million or lets go lower, five million hard core left wing folks willing to listen?

I'll take that back since I don't O'Franken will run a show strickly appealing to the hard core of his party

It appears the Daily Show remains the only nonpartisan political entertainment in the universe.

I take it's rather strange that I enjoy listening to Rush even though I disagree with >90% of what he says?

Oh, and how do you listen to that? Looks like it says .ram, is that Real Audio? No way in hell I'm touching that.

Garofolo is on right now. Not bad. Chappelle is a guest.

SHIT! Just as the repeat of the first O'Franken factor comes on, the streaming fucks up. Too many people trying to listen?

Post by **Vympel** » 2004-04-01 12:22am

LMAO. Huge stuffup. I can hear the technicians over the stream trying to figure out how to get the shit to work.

It isn't really about hurting or affecting conservative audiences (it isn't an election). It's about giving people who want a discussion on politics something else beyond O'Reilly, Hannity, Limbaugh, etc. I am enyoing it, just wish it was in more venues, so I could hear it when I drive around.

Yeah I was just listening to it as Garofolo wrapped up (loved hearing from Maher and Chappelle). They had a bit of dead air, then kept cutting off the newreader and he seemed a bit steamed at what he was supposed to do. They had a bit of trouble during Garofolo's start up to. But this was the shake down cruise. I am curious to see how tomorrow goes, especially as they are then adding a moring list of shows.

I also hope they get their webpage setup for listener use.

I think if they play their cards right Franken could be a hit, but not Garafalo. I just don't see her doing very well as a talk radio host, given what I've seen of her on Tough Crowd.
