Hi Dusty,
We’re getting to be regular penpals. First of all, you don’t have to convince me of the viability or the audience for oldies. AND, there is no need to even speak of your own reputation, because it speaks for itself. I’m a baby boomer and I love oldies. When I moved to Cincinnati in 1973, I listened to you on the radio regularly. I’m not campaigning to replace oldies stations with Progressive Political Talk. I’m campaigning to restore this format somewhere in this town, anywhere in this town, for the audience who wants it. There is an audience. OK, it’s not as big as your format attracts, but I don’t think that’s the debate.

I wanted the HCDP Hamilton County Democratic Party to help promote this format because it presents the Progressive, Democratic views to this SW Ohio audience who are monopolized by the right-wing. I like the Ed Schultz show, as well as Stephanie Miller, because every day, they have major voices from the Democratic Party in Congress on the air giving their views. For example, yesterday, Ed had Senator Sherrod Brown on his show, but I was probably one of the few in this town who heard the interview. As long as the right-wing conservatives, like Hannity, Limbaugh, and Cunningham have exclusive rights to the microphone, the Democratic Party will always suffer as a near-silent minority in this town."

Good for Jerry Baker.

That sounds like our area. If I did not have XM and my computer, I would hear nothing but conservative and religious programming.
