Air America
You folks may have heard that there is a new Liberal radio network going on the air tomorrow at noon with (I love this) The O'Franken Factor.

Here's how you listen.
New York WLIB - 1190 AM
Los Angeles KBLA - 1580 AM
Chicago WNTD - 950 AM
Portland, OR KPOJ - 620 AM
Inland Empire, CA KCAA - 1050 AM
XM Satellite - Radio Channel 167
San Francisco Coming Soon
You can also get the feed at their website.

FYI: I spent some time yesterday talking to Janeane Garofalo and her cohost, Sam Seder during a runthrough of their show, the Majority Report, and I hear (to my utter amazement) that I'm going to be back at some point when they go on the air.

Bloggers you will definitely be hearing from on the Majority Report: Atrios, Kos and the editor of Liberal Oasis.

Word is that all three of them give really good radio.

After debunking right-wing propaganda in his bestselling books Lies, and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them and Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot, Al Franken is taking the fight to America's airwaves--and he's doing it drug-free. With his co-host, veteran radio personality Katherine Lanpher, Franken will deliver three hours a day of fearlessly irreverent commentary, comedy, and interviews. Franken and Lanpher have a mean streak a smile wide. The O'Franken Factor will energize fans, infuriate liars, and deliver the truth--in what Al Franken likes to call the Zero Spin Zone.

Wow, great news Julia! How can other female NY bloggers get in on this, hint hint? :) :)

Seriously, I'm way psyched to hear what's going to come out of this new network.

Woo

Yes, do let us know when you're on, and how I can get on!

I pressed AM this morning on my radio, and was simultaneously pleased and disappointed I already had my radio set for it -- pleaed because it'll be easier to remember tomorrow, disappointed ebcause I actually liked the old format. Some nice really old rock.

However, some sacrifices must be made in the name of progress!

Here's hoping people not in the choir will start listening.

Congrats on the gig.

I knew Lizz Winstead years and years ago. She was really funny and nice. We fell out of touch before her Daily Show years.
