The 6 - 9 PM Crash of Air American Radio! At least, in Portland, OR...
KPOJ rearranged their Portland broadcast a bit this week. Not that I hate what they did for most of the day -- they probably had only a LITTLE BIT of CHOICE.

But this is a bad move, in my opinion. Sam Seder, who used to be heard in the evenings, has moved to morning drive time. Sam's an OK guy, and morning drive is a luscious plum -- but hearing it in the evening doesn't work for me.

The day is over in New York by the time we hear it. Sam Seder recorded the show more than 12 hours earlier. Lots of things happened today. What you are hearing about is YESTERDAY's NEWS. We can't have that because news is in a constant rush -- and the late show should be covering it live and discussing what happened.

I don't mind his voice. He isn't as radical as others I've heard. He seems to be a nice fellow. I wish him the best in markets that are hearing him in the morning.

But he's so yesterday -- and I won't be listening to him in the evenings. Sorry about that.

In peace,

Radio_Lady

Attention Progressive Talk Fans! The AM 620 KPOJ lineup has changed...ever so slightly! See our complete weekday schedule below!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monday-Friday
Program Line-up
12A - 2A The Rachel Maddow Show
This woman is smart! Rachel Maddow hosts this fast-paced “radio magazine” full of information and insight. Rachel’s resume includes a doctorate in political science, a background in HIV/AIDS activism and as a regular liberal contributor on MSNBC’s “The Situation with Tucker Carlson.”
2A - 3A The Mark Riley Show
Former co-host of “Morning Sedition,” veteran newsman Mark Riley brings you a radio show full of news and analysis from a progressive point of view.
3A - 6A The Young Turks
It’s early morning energy from the Young Turks! Cenk Uyger, Ben Mankiewicz and Jill Pike host this politically edgy talk show. It’s smart! It’s funny! It’s free-wheeling! Perfect for the early riser…or the late night listener looking for a jolt!
6A – 9A Thom Hartmann and Heidi Tauber
AM 620 KPOJ features a brand new live, local morning show to its Progressive Talk line-up. Nationally syndicated talk host and best selling author, Thom Hartmann, hosts the KPOJ morning show weekdays from 6am-9am. Thom Hartmann comes to KPOJ from Vermont where he’s been hosting his own progressive talk radio show for the past two years. KPOJ listeners will know Thom from his days of filling in for Air America radio host, Randi Rhodes during the past few months. Hartmann is the award-winning, best-selling author of fourteen books currently in print in more than a dozen languages on four continents. Joining Hartmann in the morning is veteran radio news anchor, Heidi Tauber. KPOJ has also added long-time radio news and talk show
producer, Paul Pimentel, to the morning program.
9A – 12P The Al Franken Show
This is the show that takes the fight against the conservatives to the airwaves! Al delivers daily irreverent commentary, comedy and interviews. Above all, the show will deliver the truth, in what Al calls the Zero Spin Zone.
Al Franken is a star in several mediums, having won five Emmy and two Grammy awards and he’s written four New York Times bestsellers. He also helped create a little television show called Saturday Night Live.
12P – 3P The Ed Schultz Show
“Big Ed” has won Marconi, Peabody and The Eric Sevareid Awards. All this from a former conservative who became a liberal (“but not a wacko liberal”) because “…I basically got out in the world…”
Ed Schultz has delivered 20 shares on KFGO/Fargo for the past 15 years. He considers himself “…a gun-toting, meat-eating lefty.”
3P – 6P The Randi Rhodes Show
Randi’s legendary South Florida talk show (WIOD/Miami and WJNO/West Palm) is the PMD anchor for KPOJ. The program features commentary, interviews, call-ins and Randi’s trademark candor.
Randi is one of the first female political talk show hosts in the country. She started her radio career in Seminole, Texas and honed her skills in Milwaukee, Dallas and New York. Surprising fact: Randi was voted “Most Outstanding Woman” in the US Air Force in 1979.
6p - 9p The Sam Seder Show
Weekday evenings, Sam Seder takes an admittedly jaundiced look at the day's news, newsmakers, and the media. Sam is the co-author of "F.U.B.A.R. America's Right-Wing Nightmare" and has served as director for Comedy Central's "I'm With Busey."
9p - 12a Thom Hartmann - Nationwide!
In addition to hosting the local KPOJ morning show with Heidi Tauber, Thom Hartmann goes nationwide with a 3 hour talk-fest! It’s the “No Boring Zone” as Thom takes on the progressive issues facing our planet.

1. To make matters worse, look at the description of Sam Seder's show!
Edited on Wed Sep-20-06 10:07 PM by Radio_Lady
Um-m-m, if your show is RECORDED from 9 AM to 12 Noon Eastern Time, and PLAYED BACK from 9 PM to 12 Midnight Pacific Time, then for goodness sake, how can this be true?

6p - 9p The Sam Seder Show
Weekday evenings, Sam Seder takes an admittedly jaundiced look at the day's news, newsmakers, and the media. Sam is the co-author of "F.U.B.A.R. America's Right-Wing Nightmare" and has served as director for Comedy Central's "I'm With Busey."

You've got to be kidding!

2. Too bad you don't pick up the Peter B Collins show...
Edited on Wed Sep-20-06 10:40 PM by LaPera
He's extremely knowledgable and well informed progressive, liberal, funny and a real radio pro...he subs for Thom Hartmann occasionally.

His radio signal is from Brookings OR down thru California...Humboldt to Mendocino - and also in Monterey, Salinas and Santa Cruz areas...
(Peter B show is also heard on delay in Sacramento, CA & Phoenix, AZ).

3. Thanks for the advice, LaPera. I've heard Peter as a guest host
and enjoy him very much.

Right now, I'm concentrating on improving a medical condition and probably won't be listening to radio or TV for quite a while.

Appreciate your comment.

Best,

Radio_Lady
