Clear Channel Kowtows To Liberals

Apparently Clear Channel doesn’t believe in the free markets and has decided that because liberals protest they will continue to struggle “for the good of the people”.

Air America Station to Stay in Madison

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — After a backlash from this liberal city, Clear Channel Radio is keeping its Air America affiliate on the air instead of switching the progressive talk format to sports on Jan. 1.

Citing the overwhelming negative reaction to the planned change, the nation’s largest radio station operator said it would keep The Mic 92.1 FM on the air as a progressive talk station.

The planned change to Fox Sports Radio, announced three days after the Nov. 7 election, had sparked outrage in Madison, a city long known for its liberal activism. Clear Channel said the station, WXXM-FM, had struggled to attract advertisers despite high ratings and a sports format would be more profitable.

Having once worked as a salesman for the “progressive” station here in Pittsburgh it is amazing how many people do not want to be associated with the left wing ideology and advertise to that crowd. How much longer will they continue?
