    WHAT HO, W V K O !!!!

    I'm so glad you have a prog station again! I lived in COL OH back in 2005 and worked at the Mothership by Polaris. AM 1230 came in great there. Back then, Jerry Springer did the AM drive-time! HAHA! AND AL Franken at lunch! Good times, good times. I'm in CLE OH now and used to work in the radio biz (before the 1996 Telecom Act).

    Glad you picked up AAR AND Jones Media (good item for building the station). Steph is great! (Big Eddie not so much.) Can you run some more of Thom Hartman besides one hour a week? Delayed shows are great! Put Thom on instead of a Lionel repeat! Then pick up Malloy from Nova M and run it delayed 3a - 6a (start your day SCREAMING!) and your all set! HAHA!

    Best of luck! Hope to visit soon!

    For the moment, until the satellite comes up, we're stuck with the straight Air America feed at night.

    (My apologies to Richard Greene and Jon Elliot.)

    I love Thom Hartmann too, but I won't get really picky yet.

    I agree with puffy but what about Thom Hartmann and the Young Turks and I am not going to get picky either.

    Man, this is GREAT! You guys in Col. did a heck of a job. Any thoughts on having a seminar on how you done it? It would be great to have a station in Dayton. I listen to AAR streaming, but when you go to talk with anybody about what you learn on Randi, Thom, or the Turks they look at you like you're from another planet. It needs to be on radio for the masses. And I have to agree about Thom being more of a presence. He is one of the smartest people I have ever heard. I'll listen streaming and whenever I get close to Col. and try to support your sponsors whenever possible. Again, GREAT JOB!

    It is so wonderful to have Progressive radio back in Columbus! And thank goodness WVKO is streaming online 'cause the signal is weak and I have a rough time picking up AM at my office.

    I have always told Air America I would gladly listen to commercials online in support of their programming. So keep on streaming online... commercials and all.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    To answer a question from earlier,

    Yes, the agreement is to air CNN news at the top of the hour. When the satellite comes up. Until then we have Free Speech Radio News or "filler".

    Hmmm.... two things I can do without. Sports programming pre-empting the progressive talk shows and CNN Headline News. I supposed both are too lucrative to pass up. Oh well...

    So glad to hear prgressive talk in my car again! I would like to put in my request for Lionel (the greatest free thinker on the radio) and Thom Hartmann (the most intelligent talker on the radio). Both of these guys are better than all of the rest of the lineup. I hope they can be put on at a more convenient time - perhaps move Stephanie Miller (I still can't figure out why she is so popular!)

    Good Call Thom Hartmann got more going for himself than Lional. Yet they all are great
    and there is only so many hours in a day.

    AM 1580 Thank You for bringing life back to Columbus Radio.

    Every one PLEASE let the station know what you think etc.

    And in anyway possible help these people make it work !!!!

    I have moved the discussion about Congress and the 2008 Elections over to a new thread:
    https://www.wvko1580.com/forums/topic.php?id=46

    Please continue the conversation over there.... hopefully this interesting discussion won't get buried in this Welcome thread.

    I don't know about having CNN as the canned news feed for WVKO AM. WYTS have CNN news and that non com 88.1 FM carries it as well. I think WVKO should stick with Free Speech News.

    Yuck!!! No!!! Stephanie gets pretty good replacements instead of having the Best of...Any of her replacements are better than Lionel.

    This would not be allowed, because of the agreement between WVKO-AM and the Stephanie Miller Show. Stephanie's advertisers still air her commercials, even while she's on vacation.

    Well Lionel and Thom Hartmann are the only good AAR personalities left on the network. I lost intrest in Rachel Maddow when they fired Kent Jones. Randi is like the female Savage. O.K. that goes a bit to far but there styles are annoying and screechy. I still want to see Thom Hartmann 6-9PM and Mike Malloy 9-12PM. Heck if Stephanie Miller can do the Jodie Foster bit during daytime (east cost time) then I don't see the issue airing Mike Malloy at his correct time slot. All the stuff that Stephanie Miller gets away with during daytime then there wouldn't be a problem airing Mike Malloy 9-12AM.

    I like to speak my mind like Ralph Waldo "Petey" Greene. See the movie Talk to Me. Best movie about radio.
