By choosing Springer, It appears that AAR has decided in favor of high ratings over daring, innovative, quality radio. aplaud.gif

Obviously you haven't listened to Springer's radio show. It's actually very informative and smart, just like most of AAR's shows. I think it would be great if AAR picked up Ed Schultz too.

What use is the middle of the road at this stage? Negotiating compromises with right-wing thugs is like reaching out to a rabid dog.

I am sick and tired of giving up vital ground because some weak-willed "leader" says it is the only way we can win. This is no strategy; just a foolhardy surrender to brutal exceptionalism.

Hillary is losing me by moving to the middle. It is doubtful that Jerry Springer can heal the wound.

Springer on the Radio audio archives

Will this be the only audio archive for the Springer show? Or will there be a 'more current' archive on AAP? I clicked on this link and the most recent show I can access is Weds, Mar. 23. I confess that I've gotten spoiled by being able to get download today's show (aaof, aauf, and aams) to listen to the parts I had to miss throughout the day.

Hi Beejaycee-- I can' t answer your question about whether Springer will be archived here at AAP but I'll pass it on to the man who can-- our own fearless leader, bob.

What most people on these boards fail to acknowledge is that in most of the country -- even in markets where Air America has "affiliates" -- it can't be heard by most of the people who might be inclined to listen to it (or it can only be heard through a lot of static) because AAR is on so many puny little stations with terrible signals (in major markets such as Boston, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Detroit, and Dallas). Soon it will apparently be on a puny little suburban daytime station outside of Chicago -- and AAR will proudly announce that it is now on in the nation's third largest market -- even though most of the people in Chicago won't be able to get the station, even in the daytime, and not at all after the sun goes down.

The only way AAR is going to be picked up by powerful stations is get good ratings.

Putting on radio that hardly anybody can hear isn't the way to enlighten enough people to get the Repugs out of power. And no, Internet radio is not the answer -- not for the forseeable future anyway, since only a comparatively few people listen to the radio on computers, even though you and I may. Most listening to talk radio in general is done in cars and trucks, not at desks.

So I say, if Jerry Springer can get good enough ratings to get AAR on more decent stations, then GO JERRY!

You are correct. I have not heard Jerry on the radio. The computer stream continually broke up on Friday during Springer's show. I will try again Monday.

(Furthermore) I hereby declare that I will give Jerry Springer a chance on AAR. I hope he succeeds.

The cancellation of Unfiltered is largely the fault of the market (and Clearchannel decisions) , not AAR management decision. As good as UF was, it had to get on more stations nationally. Jerry is already on 46 of AAR's 51 stations nationally. A sound business decision. Jerry's radio persona is vastly different from that of his television one. (Even so, perhaps I am a tad bit too puritannical on the issue.) I get it. bowdown.gif

ps Let Schultzie stay with Jones. AAR has Randi.

I listened to Springer today and was very disappointed. He's boring and rambles on...seldom making a point. Not very entertaining at all, much less informative. AAR is becoming too middle of the road. And as for the poster who said she hopes AAR picks up Ed Schultz-- well, he's more entertaining, but too much bluster-- only two steps left of a Republican. AAR is becoming like the Democratic party-- Republican Lite.

Personally, after listening to 2 shows on XM Radio and 1 show downloaded from his website, I find him to be not bad. Not challenging and not high-brow at all but we could do much worse (such as losing Air America entirely!). Very conversational and articulate, with a common touch.

Unfortunately, I haven't heard anything as impressive as "Ask a Vet" but maybe somebody will yet pick up that terrific idea and continue it.

Maron, Rhodes, Garafalo, Seder and Malloy are "Republican Lite"? What parallel universe are you living in?

Seems pretty obvious to me. You said AAR is "becoming Republican Lite." I named all the hosts who are about as far from that category as you can get. And Springer and Franken don't sound Republican to me. I'm glad they're there, to bring in some people who might be persuadable, but are put off by liberals they consider too extreme. And for that matter, even though I'm a Mike Malloy-style liberal, I'd prefer to listen to Springer than to Lizz and Rachel, who spent far too much time giggling about their own cleverness.

I agree with Lefty. While politicians like Clinton may be republican lite, hosts on AAR certainly are not. Push at the limits until we reach our goal.

Jerry is a good man.. stinks on the Radio. Unfiltered is missed by all. Replace him with Stepahnie Miller or Ed Schultz. ASAP please. [QUOTE]
