KLSD Listeners Show Their Support

San Diego listeners turned out in force to let Clear Channel know that they support the progressive talk radio format. I'd like to note that, despite the common misconception, Clear Channel has actually been rather open to progressive talk and has added it in many markets across the country. They haven't done this for love; there are profits to be made, and the format DOES bring in the dollars. . .From KLSD's site, via Randi Rhodes:

Thanks to the hundreds of listeners who showed up Monday morning outside the KLSD studios at a rally organized by citizens, Democrat and labor groups to support the Progressive Talk format.

Between 300 and 400 KLSD listeners attended a grass roots organized event in front of the KLSD studios in Murphy Canyon to show their support and to help save the format.

Program Director Cliff Albert and Morning Host Stacy Taylor told the crowd that Clear Channel has been looking into the possibility of changing the format to another talk format, possible sports talk. But that no decision has been made and the show of support by so many listeners was gratifying.

Albert said that while various options are under consideration, they want the Progressive voice to remain heard loud and clear in San Diego.
