There is a new talk station coming to Philadelphia. It sounds like it's going to be similar to 1210 AM, with the bulk of its programming being syndicated conservative hosts.

When I first heard buzz about this a little while back I had hopes that it would be all local, with a mix of liberal, conservative, and maverick hosts, like WWDB used to be.

This piece appeared in the Inquirer a few days ago. Since then it's been announced that former Secretary of Education Bill Bennett will be the morning host.


Michael Klein of The Inquirer on 990 AM

I am open to different point of views and have tried to listen to some of these conservative talk shows, however these shows are just a one man/woman show in which the host preaches conservative views (or should I call it propaganda?) with a total lack of discussion or rationalization.

Those conservative monologue artists are all over the radio. They're spreading like a virus. I listen to them sometimes in awe of their sheer tenacity. We certainly don't need ANYMORE of them. It's garbage. Just more trash entertainment. The most dangerous kind. It masquerades as real and informative, but it's just a radical tirade, 24 hours a day.

I am still giddy with joy over Rush being a drug addict.

He's a hypocrite with cast iron balls too. Hasn't missed a beat. Still on the radio talking **** despite the fact that he has NO moral standing.

I don't know of ANY non-biased raido personalities on either side of the political spectrum. Liberals think their personalities are right and fair, as do conservatives. Not too many moderate personalities.

I would like to see him experience some of his own philosophies towards drug addicts...just throw him in jail for awhile and see what he says after he does his time.

Well, drawing outrage draws in listeners. My whole bordering on commie family listened to Rush for years...as if they'd get a lead on conservative thought that way. They'd just infuriate themselves. No point. It's obvious he doesn't even believe in what he's saying.

F Rush...what about our local boy Smerconish? He's ok, but sometimes he comes off as a bit elitist / racist, not all the time, but sometimes.

I, for some reason, still like O'reilly. Yesterday he was complainign about ludacris being a gangsta rapper, he's got no idea what gangsta rap really is, luda is harmless, he's just having fun, if anheiser bush had used 50 cent or Ja-rule, tupac or someone like that for an endorsement, I would have agreed, but not for Ludacris.


Hannity is a different story, I really don't like the guy, he's too far right wing for me, I feel like he goes along with 95% of what the GOP says.

Both Hannity and Colmes give me the creeps. Rip off their masks and I'm pretty sure you'll find Kang and Kodos underneath.
