The lone liberal voice on Atlanta Radio

[ecstatic]

His name is Ike, and he comes on at 7am on Sundays on 790AM. Has anyone else heard his show yet? For weeks he discussed the vote fraud that went occured on election day.

1. Ike is great but we now have an AirAmerica radio -so I would not say

he is the lone liberal voice here have you listened to AM1690 yet?

[ecstatic]

2. OMG it's here?!

I had no idea. I'm glad I posted this LOL

3. Yes, If you like Ike who I wish was on all week instead of the wee hours

of Sunday morning. Your gonna get addicted- it is funny hearing nothing but talk on my radio now- only thing bad is they have CNN whore news instead of AirAmerica's national news- just turn it down for five minutes at the top of the hour :00 and botton :30. 1690 is not as polished as other affilates, I have heard in other markets, (like Miami, FL. 940). The fact that you haven't heard shows how heavly it has been promoted, which makes me wonder... Maybe they are waiting till they get their act together- lots of Tech problems, but better than nothing

4. I am not able to get AirAmerica on my car radio.

I only listen to radio when I'm driving. I work in Marietta and live in Woodstock, but can't get reception from either location.

5. Just curious--is your daily commute mostly non-daylight hours?

I find that WAAA 1690 (the Atlanta Air America affiliate) is especially difficult to tune in during my inbound/outbound commute these days because it's just before dusk / just after dawn, and AM stations have to reduce their wattage at night.

During the day, however, I can tune it in a lot better, although it's still pretty dicey in northern Gwinnett.

6. It is dark on my way to work in the morning.

But it's broad daylight when I leave. I have tried to tune it in during the day on the radio at the office, which is in Marietta. But I can't get reception then either.

8. Guess they're just gonna have to get a better transmitter

I ain't holding my breath. It is frustrating for me, not being able to tune them in much of the time, as well.

14. I live in Hall Cty, and I can usually pick up AAR in the car, but

it's not great reception. I have to listen via the net at home though. I've tried every radio in the house, and nada. I'm hoping they can get enough popularity that they can get a more powerful transmitter. I really believe there are a lot of people in Ga. who would love to have an alternative to the excessive RW stuff.

10. That's an awful high frequency

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the coverage area of AM radio stations decrease as the frequency increases, provided the ERP is the same.

If so, many people are going to have a hell of a time picking up AAR

16. Didn't know it but rest assured everyone...

I know now knows about it.

7. Ike is still on?

Gawd, I think he was on 790 when I first came to Atlanta in 1975.
He is cool.

9. I think Clark Howard is a closet liberal.

You don't see to many conservative consumer advocates.

11. I saw him in a picture w/ Democratic candidates.

It was a partisan event in Atlanta. I think Shirley Franklin was running for mayor of Atlanta.

edit: He has to hold his nose and deal with Boortz and Hannity on 750 AM.

12. He drives a hybrid (Prius, I think)

He sticks up for the little guy. He sticks it to rotten, corrupt, theiving corporate scum.

Of COURSE he's a liberal! not even in the closet. He just doesn't attack the WSB fascisti head-on.

[geemonkey]

15. I dunno, I think he is...

a conservative. He is always preaching about freedom and personal privacy and big brother lookin at you.

[BamaLefty]

17. I Agree

What about Boortz? ;)

[napi21]

13. I haven't heard Ike, but I will tune in on Sunday.

I don't usually have the radio on on Sunday morning, but I just wrote myself a note as a reminder to do so this Sunday.

Thanks
