Columbus Wins Back Progressive Talk
A year-long fight to bring Progressive voices back to the heart of the swing state of Ohio has met with victory!
I am soooo happy she's coming back
Almost a year ago, just a day after we had won the fight to keep Progressive Talk in Madison, Wisconsin, we were contacted by Dave Daulton of Columbus, congratulating us and then begging for whatever help we could give him... you see, Columbus was about to lose its Progressive Talk station, too.
NonStop Radio jumped right into action, helping him form Ohio Majority Radio, a focal point around for the efforts to secure Progressive Talk in central Ohio. I then asked Stephanie Miller and Jim Ward to voice a promo spot to help the cause, which they graciously did. It was to no avail, the management of WTPG wouldn't listen, and Columbus lost its only link to Progressive news and views.
But NSR and Ohio Majority Radio wouldn't quit. Making an alliance with ProgressOhio, a potent local progressive activist group, together the fight kept being waged until recently... when Columbus WON!
That's right. As of Monday, December 3rd, 2007, 1580 AM WVKO goes live with a full Progressive Talk lineup. Ohio Majority Radio and ProgressOhio have scored a major victory, and NonStop Radio could not be prouder or happier.
Keep an eye on www.NonStopRadio.com for more details: as soon as the new station's website is up and running, it will be posted there!
And if you are anywhere near Columbus, make sure to tune in 1580 AM Monday morning. You wouldn't want to miss Stephanie Miller's welcome back party, would you?
