Progress Media(Al Frankens radio Co.) should sign Stern for the markets

[Bombtrack]

that he was kicked off of by Clearchannel. Specifically Pittsburg, South Florida, and Orlando. These are a few of the most important electoral metros in the country. If we had newly ABB and pro- Al Franken Howard as a leadin, we would be alot more successful in getting people to listen to the station.

If we do in fact get the liberal radio going by springtime, as has been reported, we would get the most bang for the buck if we started our biggest audiences in these cities.

We already know that there is a liberal radio audience in South Florida(Randi Rhodes), and if she happens to have her contract ever run out, she could probably be more successful if she hopped over to progress media and became the drive-time follow up to Al Franken, maybe to be syndicated to other stations.

1. That is a great idea!

I think alot of his loyal listeners would move with him.

[Kira]

2. Can we start a Mike Malloy

campaign to get him on the station? Do you have the phone number or email address for them. I'm going through withdrawl already.

[Bombtrack]

3. I have the stern E-mail

[e-mail]

I don't know how to get in contact with Al Franken or progress media, but I once heard Randi Rhodes say that she used to know Howard, and you should call into her and E-mail her with this idea

[Gothic Sponge]

12. Mike Malloy needs the job...not Stern

16. Malloy isn't as talanted as Stern

a station, if it wants to be successful, needs to have a diverse lineup and mix it up. It can't be 24 hours of people with the same opinions and it can't just be talking about whats in the news.

Howard will bring the audience in in the morning, and for alot of people, keep them the rest of the day. He has 17 to 18 million LOYAL listeners. This Malloy guy couldn't even bring in enough of an audience to keep his own show going

[Kira]

29. You actually don't know what

you are talking about. Mike had the number one show in his time slot in Chicago and Wls got rid of him because they didn't like what he and his listeners had to say. (the truth) Plus his has been named on the top 100 most important talk show hosts list at least 2 or 3 times. Mike is extremely talented, funny, smart and has a GREAT voice.
The only reason he lost his show now is because the Union that was financing IEamerica radio pulled out of the station and it went under.

[Bombtrack]

33. Ok, my mistake, what timeslot did he have?

Just curious.

[Kira]

36. He was on 8-11PM

on ieamerica radio. He had that time slot for I don't know how long. Before that he had afternoons. In Chicago he had 10-1. I taped it every night. He would have had the same following at anytime of the day but it was an extremely right wing station w/ Dr Laura and Rush all day.
Whiterosesociety.org has his archives or you can go to his web site Mikemalloy.com for links. Malloy is the coolest. I hope he gets a new job soon.



Go Red Sox!!!!!

[Kira]

30. Thanks for the web site

I am going to call and ask them to consider Mike.

[Chicago Democrat]

4. Great Idea.

Maybe Howard will become a Democrat; that would be nice. Help with the Male-Chauvenist-Porno-lovin-piggy vote...

God that would really eat into Bush's base. Hehe

[bambo53]

5. Wrong...

15 year old male perverts usually don't vote. :)

[Bombtrack]

6. Howards listeners are working class people and they do vote

ask George friggin Pataki.

Everyone who listens to honesty isn't a pervert

[bambo53]

8. Larry Flint tells the truth too,

Is that what we want to project as our parties mouthpiece?

[Bombtrack]

11. The radio show needs to entertain, not be a democratic party mouhpiece

It's centrist-to-liberal radio.

Howard is a person who changed radio for ever, and has thousands of wannabes and copycats all over the country and the world trying to replicate his success.

Stern is not a pornographer. He's a humorist and satirist who isn't politically correct. And he's one of if not the most talented radio/media mogul in history. His job and his shows job is to make people laugh and entertain them and they are successful.

[lumpy]

19. Humorist and satirist ?

Some people don't consider watching an idiot insert a stick up his butt to be used for ring-toss humorous. Hard to understand why you would be pushing to have Stern a representative of the Democratic party unless you are working for the dark side.

[Bombtrack]

23. Hello? You don't "watch" people on radio

and if you LISTENED to his show you would know that anything having to with sex consumes at most one 8th or so of his show. That's what they air mostly show on his television show, which is what all these people judging him from the religious right and uptight sexophobe left base there opinions on

[StClone]

7. Do

Adult males with Fifteen-year-old mentalities vote?

[Bombtrack]

9. I don't know, do bitter, uptight, prudes who can't tolerate honesty vote?

I'd say they both do

[BillZBubb]

10. I have my doubts

Is Stern a progressive? He's supported a lot of right wingers (especially right wingers posing as moderates).

Do we want a guy on a progressive station who would support ANY Repug? Seems to me that's a contradiction given the state of the Repug party.

[Gothic Sponge]

13. Stern is

A fiscal conservative that only leans left on social issues. I think Mike Malloy is the better pick here.

[Bombtrack]

15. I wouldn't call him right-wing on economic issues

He's indicated that he basicly believes in the libertarian philosophy on them, but not enough that he ever promotes tax cuts or anything. He cares more about the environment, womens rights, and gay rights than he does in getting some more of his 20 million dollars a year.

[Bombtrack]

14. Howard voted for Clinton twice, and Gore

The local tri-state Rockefeller republicans and Arnold Swarzeneggar have initiated a friendly relationship with Stern and they have reaped the benefits.

However stern is a rock-solid liberal on social issues (other than gun control where he's a moderate) and because he's so rich and isn't extravagant, he cares more about social issues than economic.

[lumpy]

17. Howard Stern is a perverted filth monger

I don't give a damn who he votes for or if he is a liberal concerning social issues. The Democratic party doesn't need his support. No need to scrape the bottom of the barrel. Believe me every woman I know, young and old, would like to see him and his toadies crawl back into the slime from which he came.

[Bombtrack]

20. almost a third of Stern's listeners are female.

Some people can't take people being honest which is why they can't take Stern. Nobody has to listen to him, but people should have the right to not be cencored because of a coallition of the religious right and feminaze-left

[lumpy]

25. Some people mark their

territory by rolling around in s**t just like dogs in a cow pasture. Howard Stern has made his mark in the world not by being an advocate for human decency but by appealing to the most purient of human instincts. Roll around, baby.

[Bombtrack]

27. Like the human instinct to laugh at jokes? Yeah, that's really shameful

Europeans laugh at America because we're so afraid of sex and nudity. Or talking about it honestly and frankly

I guess some liberals only want to poin to Europe as more civilized when they're arguing against the death penalty or foriegn policy, but not when you agree with the taste-police of the religious right

[messiah]

18. I would rather hear Mike Malloy

[Bombtrack]

21. Well Stern was probably number 1 in both Florida markets that he was

cancelled from, so obviously more people would rather listen to Howard from 6-11

[DemocratSinceBirth]

22. Howard Stern Is One Of The Good Guys On The Radio If You Employ

A Good Guy/Bad Guy Dichotomy but he's not a "liberal"...


However I live in Orlando and pulling him off the air is busllshit...

They replaced him with The Monsters Of The Midday...


They are just as "vulgar" and not a fraction as funny...

[libview]

24. Howard Stern is a discusting human being,

he has retarded people and homeless people on his show and they laugh at them.
Anyone who makes fun of mentaly challanged people should be in the Republican party, not the Democratic party.
I prefere he support Bush

[Bombtrack]

26. Howard treats the retarded friends of the show great

he's never mean spirited towards them.

His ex-wife was a social worker who worked with the mentally challenged.

Look at Gary, Howard's given him more fun than Gary ever would have.

[lumpy]

28. I'm impressed

Not. Gary is in for a big let-down when he discovers that women aren't going to be fauning over him in the real world. Howards ex got sick and tired of putting up with Howard's obsessions.

[GreenPartyVoter]

31. He's a misogynist

I wonder how long he'd last in the same room with Randi Rhodes though.

[Bombtrack]

34. Howard is the opposite of a Mysogynist, he loves women

a mysoginist hates all women.

Unlike alot of a-holes in society, Howard doesn't look down apon strippers and he thinks they're great people.

[GreenPartyVoter]

35. No, he asks gals to strip down in front of him then rates their bodies

So basically he loves the swimsuit model types. And that's it.

[Bombtrack]

38. Wrong again. They ask to be evaluated.

Female fans will come to his show who want to be in playboy go on to see if they are good enough to be in playboy. But according to you he should refuse the opportunity to see naked women.

[classics]

32. Stern is a liberal now?

What part of screaming insults at people and treating women like bags of meat with breasts makes him a liberal?

[Doctor_J]

37. I disagree

I want centralair to be very partisan and very political - unemcumbered by horny circus freaks, women coming in to get their new boob jobs evaluated, and other Stern fare.

Sorry, but we're trying to take on Limpballs and Hannity, not Imus.

[Bombtrack]

39. Imass is a Stern wannabe who happens to be racist

I don't care about all the uptight people who make Europeans think we're complete babies because we can't handle being open about sex and nudity, I do believe Stern has made our country better. Imus hasn't.
