WTF! Glenn Beck ad on my local AAR station!
Edited on Mon Jun-05-06 04:23 PM by WahooJunkie
I just heard an ad for Glenn Beck's show on my local Air America Radio affiliate (WVAX 1450 AM, Charlottesville, VA)

:wtf:

That is all. If you don't know who he is - go to www.mediamatters.org and search for his name, if he's not on the front page as he is very often.

2. Heard 'em duringt Stephanie Miller show too
It must stop. I am not against progressive radio making money, but not with a jerk like that. DO NOT WATCH HIS SHOW NO MATTER WHAT!

4. Glenn's got one piss-poor media buyer then
I'd say he won't get much for his money on THAT placement. Idiot.

5. That's the problem - there are no "AAR stations"
They own no radio stations as Clear Channel does. They're only content providers - a sort of liberal/progressive syndication.

There's nothing to prevent a station from carrying Rush from 2-5pm, immediately followed by Randi Rhodes.

6. I heard it on the SF station
960, The Quake. Dumb, dumb, dumb station. I'm mostly back to streaming.

7. I've made a point of not watching him so far.
But I did hear the ad during the Stephanie Miller Show. He's also advertising on MSNBC.

10. I don't think ANYONE knows what to do with Glenn Beck
The guy is such a wacknut that no one knows what he stands for. I personally think the dude is a fake, found some suckers to give him some money. One thing's for sure, he is doing huge damage to the RW by getting air-time.
