Keep your comments coming...
It has been encouraging and exhausing to read through the many emails I have been getting and to talk to listeners on the phone. My phone message stack is getting thinner, but I still have quite a few people to call back. Be patient with me.
We've been getting lots of emails, phone calls and letters and I encourage everyone to share this site with your friends and keep them coming. It may help get the approval we need from the progressive talk networks to carry the format on one of our new FM HD channels. Yes, it's new, but more and more HD radios are coming down in price into the affordable range and the progressive talk is at the leading edge anyway.
Again, thanks for sharing your comments here. You should know that your favorite talk hosts are checking out this site every day. i.e. Ed Schultz, Thom Hartmann, etc.
More later, Cliff

Welcome to KLSD listeners!
Welcome to the San Diego Progressive Talk blog. This is going to be a place where former KLSD listeners can come to share their thoughts, their desires and their hopes for progressive talk in San Diego. Effective Monday Nov. 12th at 3 p.m., KLSD-AM switched to XTRA Sports 1360 AM. This was a business decision based on the fact that while we were able to survive for four years since the launch of Progressive Talk AM 1360 KLSD, we have been unable to make it a financial success so that we could continue the format. Sports talk radio attracts more traditional radio advertisers than progressive talk.
We do thank you for your support over the last four years so that we could keep San Diego's progressive talk voice alive during that time on KLSD. You have been a part of clearly the most loyal audience of any radio station in our community."While the format has had some challenges being financially successful, the progressive voice will not go away in our community. It will exist in other forms, from the individual voices of our listeners and believers in the progressive cause, to some of our talk show hosts who will continue to be heard in San Diego on traditional radio, around the world on satellite radio, Internet radio and high-tech wireless.
And remember, your support of KLSD and the efforts of our talk show hosts and all those responsible for our format over the last four years, have not been in vain. Anything but. You can take heart in the fact that we all have been able during these last four years to bring to life the progressive voice in San Diego that had been far too dormant in the years before. You and our talk hosts have made a difference in San Diego. And we thank you.
Cliff

What are you going to do about the companies that are supporting the new Xtra Sports with advertising?
Hi Anon...No idea who those companies are since KLSD is now off my radio dial. Refuse to listen to it. And since the owners are supporting Republicans, naturally, I'm gonna vote Dem. Think this is a lousy Rovian-type scheme to muzzle the media and in no way play fair with balanced programming.
I am totally sold on WPRR 1680 AM. Anyone in the Grand Rapids area should tune into their programming and give them a listen. It’s the replacement for the old Radio Disney, but the new format is pretty amazing, especially considering the standard fare that we get from radio broadcasts in Grand Rapids. Anyway, they have a streaming cast on their page at http://www.publicrealityradio.com. They’ve got great educational, progressive programming that is both locally produced and taken from the Pacifica Radio network from around the country. A friend of mine suggested I tune into the “Infidel Guy”, who I guess is pretty popular for his podcasts online, but it was surprising to find such content being broadcast over the air in Grand Rapids, Michigan of all places. Agree or disagree with the opinions, it is refreshing new content for listener supported radio in West Michigan.
