COUNTDOWN Time. Only 2 months to go before Liberty One Radio plans to start broadcasting in San Diego -- bringing back the first locally produced progressive talk to San Diego since the end of Jon Elliott's show on AM1700 in September. In addition to legendary local talker Stacy Taylor and big-time talkers Ed Schultz, Mike Malloy and others, programming plans include a "morning militatary show" on topics of interest to the large military population here. Adequate funding is the tough goal, while sweat equity has come forth -- I know Sal and others at Liberty One have been working hard to get on-air, are producing podcasts already and training members. Next training is November 20. I saw Sal and crew when I videotaped recently at the Media Reform "Radio Dayz" forum (for the Save KLSD documentary), and I see them around town doing interviews.
I am seeking an update about the efforts of Activist San Diego to start a community FM radio station after winning approval from the FCC. Please comment here if you have any new info.
Miriam Raftery has an excellent story from July on the two radio projects at http://www.eastcountymagazine.org/node/1613
BTW: In case you didn't read it -- here's the Voice of San Diego's article from early 2008 about the decline of talk radio in San Diego: http://www.voiceofsandiego.org/articles/2009/01/14/economics/864radio011309.txt
