Talk about sour grapes! The New Orleans radio station WSMB 1350AM has just the dropped the 'progressive talk' shows from its program and is now playing re-run shows of their 'sister station', WWL 870am. This makes three channels playing the same frickin shows which include Rush and some local right wing idiots. Then there's the Clear Channel Stations playing O'Reilly and Hannity on WRNO- the once "rock of New Orleans" station. And of course 690am which has really bad conservative talk like Neil Boortz and Tammy Bruce. Bleck! Why are these people competing for the same listeners when there are so many liberals in New Orleans who have nothing worth listening to anymore? The change for 1350 just happened to take place the day after the Democrats took control of the House and possibly the Senate. Very suspiscious being that the ratings would have been up with people wanting to hear election coverage. Some think that its because Air America is going bankrupt. But these shows weren't all Air America shows- like Stephanie Miller and Ed Shultz. Is this happening in other cities too? So far, I have not heard anything about it in the media or on WWL's web site. WSMB's site is gone. So what's going on guys?

Update: This guy says it better than I ever could.
