Ed Anger is branching out – he has a new web site and he’s on Facebook and Twitter. He’s upset at the moment that CPAC has snubbed him again.

Jason Lewis has been taking voice training…. it’s getting hard to recognize his voice. His whiny screeching has been replaced by a carefully modulated voice kept loooow….. big improviement.

WKBN is carrying John Batchelor now – he’s on from the 1-2 AM hour even though it isn’t listed on their schedule (they apparently just dropped Savage and will air Coast to Coast). WKBN-AM is a Clear Channel station in … Continue reading →

About the discount rate… don’t read a whole lot into that (the market isn’t). The Discount rate is the rate charged to banks as the Lender of Last Resort. When a bank has to go to the discount window to … Continue reading →

Lee Rogers is out (again) at KSFO, the Citadel station in San Francisco. Melanie Morgan’s husband is a programming executive in San Francisco for Citadel, or at least was. With Citadel in bankruptcy, look for the banks to cut loose … Continue reading →

The madness of the federal government: 1) File for unemployment benefits 2) Get hit with taxes on the money that they just gave you to survive on [face/palm] I would say that perhaps I’m starting to understand the Austin terrorist’s … Continue reading →

Trouble in Texas… man blows up his house, flies his plane into the building housing the IRS, leaves a suicide note saying he’s coming after the IRS, and has a screed on his web site – and authorities are investigating … Continue reading →

Joe Scarborough is having a hissy fit with Brent Bozell. Those of you who are skeptical of Salem’s motives in buying Michelle Malkin or detect a left leaning news operation take note – Scarborogh writes for Townhall.com.

Wal-mart’s same store sales are down for three quarters in a row – looks like a recovery to me!

Lame excuses for being silent – if you hold an FCC License, you are obligated to be on the air all the time at close to authorized power (special exceptions for schools and LPFM…). If your station is going to … Continue reading →

Are silent AM stations not telling the FCC? This is a question I’ve pondered several times, and this morning I found this discussion over on radio-info.com from 2008. It’s regarding a daytime only AM station in Alabama – the point … Continue reading →

Glenn Beck isn’t on in Boston (yet) – WRKO was carrying his weekend show, but not during the week. That will change April 1st when Clear Channel launches their new news/talk station. Why I bring that up is the Scott … Continue reading →

Are you an “independent contractor”? The NY Times stokes the fire of the government engine by pointing out that contractors can’t collect unemployment! (Gasp) that’s just not fair. The IRS and state revenue agencies are coming for you.

Leykis lands in L.A…. The “Comb Over Boy” (Phil Hendrie’s pet name for Tom Leykis) has landed a station finally for his Wine show (“The Tasting Room”). He will be on KGIL-AM from 8-10 PM on Thursday night (after the … Continue reading →
