Limbaugh dumped for liberal show

January 12, 2005

By DANIEL BARLOW Southern Vermont Bureau

BRATTLEBORO — A southern Vermont-based radio station will trade in the rhetoric of Rush Limbaugh and other conservative talk show hosts for the liberal commentary of Air America next week.

WKVT-AM 1490 in Brattleboro will replace four of its weekday syndicated conservative talk shows on Jan. 17 with programs from the fledgling liberal radio network Air America, which launched in March.

The station will be the second in Vermont to broadcast Air America programs, which include shows hosted by comedian Al Franken and actress Jeanne Garofalo.

The Brattleboro area is highly liberal in its political beliefs and the Air America shows will be a better fit for the station's listeners than the conservative programs hosted by Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly, said WKVT program director Peter Case.

1. Easy Ways to Help Air America Radio
Edited on Thu Jan-13-05 01:17 AM by Eric J in MN
1. Buy a hat or shirt, and wear it.

2. Post about Air America on an internet message board.

On a political message board, you can post about something notable you heard on Air America anytime.

With a non-political message board, you can post about a related topic which comes up during a particular show. For example, when Gene Bauston of the vegetarian-group Farm Sanctuary appeared on Janeane Garofalo's show, I posted about it on a vegetarian message board.

Also, on most internet message boards, it's acceptable for regulars to occasionally make a post which isn't about the main subject of the board, if the phrase "Off Topic" is included in the subject line. (Don't make "Off Topic" posts on boards where that isn't acceptable. Ask the moderator if you're unsure of the board rules on "Off Topic" posts.)

3. If there is a physical, real-world bulletin board you're allowed to use, you can download this unofficial flyer I created, customize it to your location (it currently has stations and broadcast times for Minnesota), and put it up.
