LEFTY NET OFF WLIB


August 3, 2006 --
RADIO

THE liberal Air America radio network is going to be harder to hear in
New York.

Next month, it is switching stations - to a weaker AM station, WWRL
(1600 AM).

Al Franken and his lefty colleagues are leaving WLIB (1190 AM)
apparently because they couldn't come up with enough cash for the
owners, former Manhattan Borough President Percy Sutton and his son,
Pierre.

Starting Sept. 1, Air America will be on WWRL, at the top of the dial
where AM signals are weakest - especially at night, when greater FCC
restrictions apply.

As The Post reported last March, the ratings-challenged liberal
network failed to renew its two-year lease with the Suttons.

Relations between the Suttons and the network's execs were rocky from
the start and only got worse after the network's shaky finances became
known and a scandal broke out involving loans to Air America from a
Bronx charity.

WLIB's future after Sept. 1 is not known, although radio industry
heavyweight Randy Michaels - the builder of 1,200-station Clear
Channel - has expressed interest in leasing the station as a base for
a new talk-radio network.

Michaels declined comment yesterday and the Suttons didn't return
calls.

I've listened to a bit of Al Franken show and I tried to get interested,
but it is so much crap, just plain rubbish and VERY boring that I felt
that I had to throw up. So I never listened again. Old Al is a joke.

I've been listening to Shaun Hannity and found him to be interesting,
fresh, with good stuff. He was pinging on the terrorists the other day.

Old Rush seems to have changed his voice, LOL.

I miss being able to listen to Rush, but he has changed. The wife has
changed him, no doubt.

Al Franken isn't. Frank that is. Pinko maybe. Airhead America has such a
lineup of unbelievable left-wing Michael Moore lovers that I made sure that
was one spot my radio didn't have a button for. Barfing all over the car is
not a good way to make 90 mile trips, and the barf really starts to stink on
these 100 degree days, not matter how well you clean up afterwards.

Rush isn't married anymore.

You can listen to Rush on the web.

If you really want to hear a good guy, listen to Howie Carr
on WRKO Boston.

He is terrific and funny as hell...

You can listen to him on the web.
