Franken on Armed Forces Radio

[erpowers]

Starting soon the first hour of Al Franken's show will be heard on Armed Forces Radio. I think it would be great if Franken and Shultz could gain more rating than Limbaugh and the others.

WASHINGTON — American Forces Radio this week began airing “The Ed Schultz Show,” nearly two months after the controversial host was originally scheduled to hit the airwaves.

But Russell said not everyone may be able to hear the new shows.

Anyone living on a military base with cable or satellite service receives all AFR stations, and will be able to listen to the new additions. But Russell said regional affiliates, who offer just a sampling of the AFR programs through over-the-air broadcasts, will decide on their own whether to add the new shows.

AFN Europe is receiving the three programs but has not decided which, if any, it will be putting on its AM Power Network, which broadcasts across Germany.

Air Force Capt. Jeff Clark, public affairs officer for AFN-Europe, said that the radio station has to decide how great the demand is for the three programs, because if it decides to broadcast one or more of them, it will have to remove programs on the schedule, and it thinks it has a popular lineup.
