AM620 KOPJ A LITTLE TOO LEFT FOR CLEAR CHANNEL IN PORTLAND
Luckily my voice lasted until the end of today's show...that time of the year for throat problems!
Today I talk about Veterans ...and a few stories associated with Veteran's Day as they relate to the real ways we should honor vets...especially those sent to fight in illegal; invasions and occupations.
Second hour we discuss right wing radio propaganda as Clear Channel shuts down another progressive talk station in Portland, Oregon and turning it into Sports Talk...when there are already 2 Sports talk stations there and no other progressive radio station in Portland, let alone, the whole of Oregon.
Same damn thing Clear Channel did to our station here in San Diego in 2007.
From Bradblog:
A documentary film, Save KLSD, has been screening around the country this year. The film documents the ultimately unsuccessful 2007 fight to keep Clear Channel-owned KLSD AM-1360, the only commercial progressive talk radio outlet in San Diego at the time, from flipping to a Fox Sports format. The film details the dangers of media consolidation and "how corporate influence corrupts government regulation, limits the free flow of information, and adversely affects American democracy."
THERE IS A PETITION UP TO SAVE THE PORTLAND STATION AQLTHOUGH NOW THAT IT IS FLIPPED TO SPORTS TALK IT MAY BE A BIT LATE...YOU CAN STILL CHECK OUT THE PAGE HERE.
That and a few more things on our Manic Monday edition of the show!
