| From the website of WVKO 1580AM in Columbus, “Ohio’s Progressive Talk”: It is with great sadness I must inform WVKO’s listeners that once again, Progressive Talk will be silenced on the Columbus airwaves. Our one-year lease on the station is about to expire, and at this time there is no way that we can continue operating the station. So as of midnight on Sunday, December 16th, the new operators will be airing a gospel format on WVKO. Once again, we had a good run with the station, and we were happy to in some small way

Well, ya just had too much competition from ABCCBSNBC, etc etc etc. When everyone spouts the same line, the little guy goes under. Kind of a lack of "diversity" in programing there, son.

When there is no support of advertisers, it becomes difficult to operate unless you have a government teat like NPR.

Wow. They must have been REALLY bad when even Democrats won´t support their station´s format. Truth is, liberal radio is not informative, nor is it entertaining and in radio that combination fails. They just sit around and kvetch about Conservatives. I used to listen in Phoenix when Air America was on...those shows were just flat and they "hate(d) George Bush!"

Definitely go read the quote in the article. They gave their heart (and time and money) to 0bama et al and didn´t even get a kiss. And to be replaced by gospel music must feel like a hard slap. Too bad they´ll never stop and think about what really happened or take some of the replacement gospel music to heart.

The thought process of the moron left is encapsulated in this sentence fragment:
"...Progressive Talk will be silenced..."
You´re not being silenced you idiot. You´re being pulled because you´re losing money. Anyone this stupid should not speak into a microphone for a living anyway.

#4, that´s right.
The "progressive" program (what do they do that is actually progressive rather than regressive?) was pulled for lack of interest on the part of listeners, which translates into bad revenue for sponsors, who then pull their product/service off the show, leading to $ losses for the station. Is the station supposed to broadcast for free?
But hey, NPR gets public funding. Wanna bet the FCC will find a way to get this show funded by your tax dollars? After all, all sorts of government failures and travesties get funded by government. Why not this show, too?
As for "feeling betrayed", by whom? If they blame the station they claim some sort of animus or at worst, they betray a lack of understanding of how advertisers=money=continuance of show. If they blame the listeners, they´re calling them stupid for not realizing how wonderful the show is.
Whine, whine, whine. But at no time do they EVER blame the content of the show.

It would seem that when anyone dances with the devil he ends up with ashes in the end. Most of us already knew this. Only a useful idiot or true believer would dream of a different result. Obama is strutting across the stage in a large way. Does anyone imagine that God is not in control? He lets men rise to great heights all thru history. Each generation there is an anti christ in waiting because Satan does not know when the time for the End will be. Obama is a good model for how such a person will appeal to huge masses. Watch and wait and pray for lost souls. That is our mission.

Stuff like this make me think more and more that the election was fixed. Conservatives were riled up more than anytime in my lifetime. Liberals were holding their heads low a week before the election. The only way Obama won was by keeping it close and cheating the rest of the way. They call it their "ground game". I call it cheating and counting votes that are not there.

Those who support talk radio by advertising are the small businesses.
Those who support Barry S. by voting for him are all takers-food stamps, welfare, etc. These are the ones listening to liberal talk radio.
But since they can´t SUPPORT the station, failure becomes obvious.
Liberal talk radio fails to make the connection:

If they had ratings, they would have had advertisers. Thats how it works. The reason the advertisers didn´t return your calls is you weren´t worth the time, or they had be put out of business by Obama´s economy. The fact that gospel music would out draw liberal talks pretty much says it all.

U.S. and allied intelligence agencies have identified the launch zone on North Korea’s east coast where Pyongyang’s military is set to fire a salvo of missiles that risk being shot down by U.S. missile defenses in the region. The North Koreans recently began fueling two road-mobile Musudan intermediate-range ballistic missiles located along the east coast between the cities of Wonsan and Hamhung, according to intelligence officials. The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said in addition to the 2,500-mile-range Musudans the North Koreans could conduct test firings of several 620-mile-range Nodong missiles and shorter-range Scuds simultaneously

Where’s OFA? The pro-amnesty rally in front of the U.S. Capitol was described as “massive” on my local NPR station even before it had taken place. Here is an NBC newscast with a pretty good photo-not an up-close photo, but one that lets you gauge the size of the crowd. It’s not massive! It’s not even very large. I’d say 10,000 or fewer. Obama’s new high-tech political machine, Organizing for Action, doesn’t seem to have played a huge role in the rally. It declared a “week of action” on immigration, but that was last week.

Looking at the overall outline of the budget President Obama proposed on Wednesday makes it easy enough to see why the White House chose to leak in advance the fact that the president would propose to adopt chained CPI, one of the few non-counterproductive entitlement-reform ideas he has been willing to accept. The leak meant that Washington spent the weekend talking about entitlement reform and whether the president would anger his liberal base so that by the time the budget came out some reporters might have felt like it was old news and not actually spent much time on it.

Whatever big-busted fantasies crawl around the ex-congressman’s delirious noggin, la Weiner made his next goal as clear as the skin of the wholesome college students he craved: He relishes being Mayor Weiner. Please, shut up this clown. These days, the genitally obsessed Weiner has nothing much to do, except sit in his lavish Manhattan apartment and — the inhumanity! — change the poopy diapers of his 16-month-old son, Jordan.

Normally those of us in the news business love trials, the more sensational the better. Just look at the coverage of the Jodi Arias murder trial in Maricopa County, Ariz. — or earlier national obsessions with Casey Anthony and O.J. Simpson. Which makes the media blackout of one ongoing trial a mystery. Or maybe not. In Philadelphia, Kermit Gosnell is on trial on eight counts of murder: seven for babies he’s accused of killing with scissors after they were born, and one for a pregnant refugee who died after receiving an overdose of drugs.

Last week, Rutgers University fired its mercurial basketball coach after he was videotaped “shoving, grabbing and throwing balls at players in practice and using gay slurs,” according to ESPN. Under pressure from school administrators, Rutgers’ athletic director, who had previously defended the coach’s behavior, resigned. It was an appropriate response: violent oafs should be fired from their university jobs for violent, oafish behavior. On the same day ESPN broadcast the Rutgers tape, The New York Post reported that Kathy Boudin, a professor at Columbia University, was named the 2013 Sheinberg Scholar-in-Residence at NYU Law School.

Almost from the moment he walked into the Oval Office, Barack Obama has had a serious lying problem when it comes to firearms. The 44th president has a near pathological predilection for using defective, invalid, and flat-out dishonest statistics in his quest to restrict the 2nd Amendment rights of American citizens, a fact first pointed out here at PJ Media in the summer of 2009. At that time, the president, then-Secretary of State of State Hillary Clinton, and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder were heavily invested in promoting the deceptive theory that the supermajority of firearms being used by Mexican drug cartels

With the fate of gun control as muddled as ever, the best hope for congressional compromise centers on the most popular policy move Washington could make: universal background checks. The public supports other measures, but among all the limits on gun ownership that Democrats have advanced since the December shooting in Newtown, Conn., background checks enjoy the most support. A Quinnipiac University poll last week showed 91 percent of respondents in favor of “requiring background checks for all gun buyers,” compared with slimmer margins, 59 percent and 58 percent, for banning “assault weapons” and magazines

The legislation, to be released within days, would call for surveillance of 100 percent of the U.S. border with Mexico and apprehension of 90 percent of people trying to cross in certain high-risk areas.

To many in our cultural elite, Woody Guthrie is an American saint. The legendary songwriter from Okfuskee County, Oklahoma, is introduced to every American child by way of his folk anthem “This Land Is Your Land.” But for gatekeepers of the arts, Guthrie is much more: All of his work—every song, every article, every poem—is good and honest and true, the gospel according to Woody. What other justification is there for the release of this deservedly long-lost novel?

Even with the threat of furloughs and government cuts sparked by the sequester, Obama took the time to enjoy a star-studded concert at the White House tonight. The White House celebration of Memphis Soul music in the East Room--which included special guest appearances by Queen Latifah and Justin Timberlake--is likely to rile Obama´s Republican foes.

In the message he issued along with his budget proposal on Wednesday morning, President Barack Obama said he wants to see 4-year-old children in the United States enrolled in public schools. Obama said America needs to start enrolling 4-year-olds to make sure the children are “better prepared for the demands of the global economy” and to help parents save on "child-care costs." After saying the United States needs to “equip our citizens with the skills and training” to fill jobs in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, Obama said, “And that has to start at the earliest possible age.”

Although the first votes on gun -control legislation have yet to be cast, by some measures the National Rifle Association has already won. Obama’s ambitious plans to ban assault weapons and limit magazine capacities are off the table, while the NRA suggested it could support the most likely outcome -- expanded background checks -- as recently as 1999. The NRA claims that the president’s efforts have triggered a fundraising surge and boosted its membership from 4 million to nearly 5 million.

Myron Ullman, Johnson´s predecessor at JCPenney, takes office as CEO. When Johnson was initially wooed by JCPenney, it was to serve as CEO with Ullman as Chairman. In January 2012, Ullman was unceremoniously removed from the board. Gone with Ullman was any control the Board of Directors had over Ron Johnson and his control of JCPenney resources.

The state of California is reportedly considering legislation that would force group insurance policies to provide infertility treatment for gay and lesbian couples. Two men who have sex with each other for a year and do not produce a baby would be considered “infertile” under the proposed legislation. So would two women having sex. Since biology does not allow those without a uterus to conceive or those without a penis to impregnate, every year-long gay couple in California would potentially be covered by this new provision of California law.
