8. A Major Defeat

AM 760 was the only consistently progressive voice I've heard on the public airways in the last 30 years. And I have to drive 500 miles to hear another! This is a major loss. It will deprive people who don't have unlimited streaming data phones etc of critical issue knowledge and dialogue. The people who need to hear it and participate the most, will pay the biggest price for Am760's voice being silenced.

There is absolutely NO way they are going to tell me it just wasn't working out, that's just complete horse hockey. "The outlet, which has struggled to make an impact on the radio market for the better part of a decade Michael Roberts,Gloria Neal's firing marks impending death of progressive AM-760May 13 2014" was complete nonsense. Just exactly how did he decide AM760 made no impact? Many progressives and liberals listened to this station.

This is a major defeat and liberals, progressives, and everyone else who values the free flow of thought and information on politics should be mad as hornets about this.

The new format is a disserivce to the state of Colorado. Invest into spice whiskeys ok wtf? Dr. Joy who babbling about movies and bullshit. Great. Clear channel should be boycotted until they return a fair and reasonable perspective back into the public airways, their license renewal for this station should be heavily scrutinized.
