All of a sudden, Thom Hartmann is off KTLK Los Angeles

[PlanetBev]

Replaced by some show called "Diverse LA". Anybody know what happened?

Well, this is just swell....

1. I don't know about this particular situation, but Stephanie mentioned that some markets were.....

being shaken up, and timeslots were being upended to accomodate Glen Beck! I'm not sure that this anything with Thom & KTLK. Has he been completely removed from the lineup?

2. I read that Thom changed his broacasting time

and that the new time would conflict with Randi Rhodes so it wouldn't fit.

12. they like to have live broadcasting

there attempts to tape delay Ed Shultz etc didn't go well. The time change conflict hurts the LA market but I imagine is better for Thom. 10-1 west coast doesn't exactly mean the best marketing wise. Seems like the station lost a huge amount of talent the past 2 years. It is hard to listen to after Stephenie signs off. Wish they'd move Milloy to a better time slot to cover.

14. Hartmann was on from 9-12

in the LA market. If he is moving his program later in the EST, then he loses the good time slot he had out here. I was apprehensive when he moved from the west coast but I guess he heard the siren song in DC. I'm sorry he has left the LA market.

3. I know that yesterday.....

the am1090 out of Seattle line up was different....

Ed was on when Thom used to be and Thom was on in Ed's slot.
Just checked their website, but it still has the old lineup...

4. KPTK Seattle has the best line-up. That's what I listen to.

7. Thanks- that's similar to Green 960's lineup in San Francisco before they put Beck on in the AM

Now I can contact that station's new configuration and let them know I've left 'em for someone who's better

[eridani]

11. They switched Ed Schultz and Thom Hartmann

This is a definite plus, since people in the listening area can now call live.

5. Hartmann now comes on from 12:00 noon to 3:00 pacific time on television

That new time was as of Monday. FSTV switched his tv show around. And I think his tv and radio shows are broadcast together.

[PlanetBev]

6. Thanks for the information, everybody

Guess I'll have to stream him from now on....

[villager]

8. Noticed that too, and had to dig around to find out about Hartmann's time slot change.

Apparently, on Hartmann's end, they wanted to become an afternoon show, but don't know why KTLK couldn't run it on delay, for example..

Basically, KTLK keeps going downhill. Alas.

9. Thom changed times so he didn't have to compete with Ed

a lot of radio stations aired the live versions at the same time, or delayed it do locals couldn't call in real-time. Now that's fixed--however, still haven't checked KTLK to see if that's where Tom went

on edit, Thom Hartmann is completely off the KTLK schedule, replaced by Diverse LA. Local diverse programming is good, but did they have to pull Thom for it? Crap.

16. 'Diverse LA' sucks.

Tried to listen yesterday; tried again today w/ a self described 'social conservative'. Nope. Just Stephanie from 6-9 then OFF it goes.

Their broadcast area is much larger than LA anyway.

[madrchsod]

10. he`s on live from 2-5 in chicago.

that`s right after ed. thom was a rebroadcast 2-5 with one hour live on friday in chicago.

[taught_me_patience]

13. I caught the first five minutes of Diverse LA this morning

and the guy comes on and says he's a registered Repuke. Turned that shit off immediately.

[Johonny]

17. Show's terrible

gave it 2 days now I'm done. Howard Clark is better and that's not a compliment to that show by any means.

[Justice wanted]

15. He's moved to 3-6 EST so 12-3 LA time.

[backscatter712]

18. He's on at the usual time at AM760.

I believe the only difference on my local radio station is that he's now live, instead of on tape-delay.
