On Friday, December 8, the Cincinnati Post reported that Clear Channel programmers were terminating the progressive talk radio format on WSAI on the following Monday, changing the format to "self-help" including 3 hours a day of reruns from another Celar Channel station.
Mr. Parks said: "Radio, at the end of the day, is about ratings and revenue. There were some good (liberal) shows, but they need to start looking to more broad-based subjects than just harping on politics."
Mr. Parks' action leaves Cincinnati with no balance to another Clear Channel station, whose weekday lineup is over hours of right wing political shows by Laura Ingram, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, and Mark Levin. It eliminated the balance of progressive talk shows by Rachel Maddow, The Young Turks, Al Franken, Ed Schultz, and Randi Rhodes, and interviews with progressive authors and legislators.
Please sign the petition and help let Clear Channel and others know that there is support for progressive talk radio in Cincinnati.
We will not sell email addresses or use them for anything except the purposes of the petition.

| 365 | 3:54 pm PST, Jan 24 | Really MoveOn | balanced media? overwhelmingly liberal colleges put out the liberalized graduates overwhlming the media fields- from the heads of the smallest talent agencies to the HR departments of nearly every mainstream film and television production houses- and every writer inbetween. If there is any skew of media bias it is to the left in nearly every visual image this country confronts in our daily lives (including advertising). Get real, the san fran socialist freaks you miss listening to are winning without radio. The country is 85% moron thanks to the dumbing down of our population through our educational system (see above)and these ignorant masses are like mice via those images. Grow up and get a real life. | |

| 357 | 8:21 pm PDT, Aug 2 | Bill Cahalan | I loved hearing Al Frankin and Ed Schultz every day. You still support another mostly political talk (right wing) station. Please consider the tastes and desires of so many listeners in our region whose needs are not being met. | |

Return Progressive Talk and Balance to Cincinnati
In the 2006 election a majority of Ohio voters voted for progressive candidates. Cincinnati has a Democratic Mayor and the Hamilton County Commission has a Democratic majority. We want to show that there is support for progressive talk radio in Cincinnati.
We want to see progressive talk radio returned to Cincinnati. And we want to see balanced restored to the public airwaves. Cincinnati is not red, and not blue, it is both - purple. And local talk radio should serve the blue side of the market instead of just the red side.
