Clear Channel to air more liberal programs
Radio stations lean to the left
By DEE-ANN DURBINA
Associated Press

WXDX-AM now known as WDTW-AM is one of 22 stations owned by Clear Channel Communications Inc. that have switched to a liberal talk format in the last year. This month, KTLK-AM in Los Angeles became the latest Clear Channel station to adopt the format.

2. The money is too much for them to resist. Clear Channel's other...
programs are not doing as well. It's good to see that KKKlear Channel realizes that we Liberals have money to spend too.

3. Watch their idea of "liberal" be just slightly left of
Fatboy Noon-3PM EST . . .

Watch them try to label Triv (3-6 or so PM EST in Cleveland Ohio) as "liberal" just because he supported Tim Hagan over Bob Taft in 2002 . . .
