Right-Wing Radio Work Around

The Thom Hartmann Program has a new outlet in Asheville, WPVM-LP FM. From the Mountain Area Information Network:

The nationally syndicated radio program, The Thom Hartmann Program, is moving to MAIN-FM, 103.5, where it can be heard live from noon to 3 p.m. beginning Monday, Feb. 15.

MAIN-FM is a low-power radio station licensed to the nonprofit Mountain Area Information Network (MAIN) in Asheville.

...

Bowen called the show “compelling radio” due, in part, to Hartmann’s practice of interviewing conservative guests. “Thom is that rare talk-show host who is willing to talk to people who disagree with him,” said Bowen. He lauded the show as “evidence-based, give-and-take dialogue in the democratic tradition of debating important issues in a public forum.”

Thom Hartmann has been doing something very interesting in the world of talk radio. He has allowed his show--which is a commercial, advertiser-supported program--to be carried by non-commercial, community & college radio stations.

There's more than one way to skin a cat. And if the corporate-owned, right-wing world of talk radio won't allow alternative programming on their air? Then its just time to get creative.

Thom Hartmann here. MAIN here.

Thom Hartman is one of the few in media today that is able to accurately interpret the circumstance of the time and place we are in.

Out of work? Try writing inflammatory muck. Don't attribute. Real references lead to trouble.
