And since ...I have a professional writing business. And since I have learned to give and supply every thing to God, I have provided this enterprise to Him from working day 1. I have to confess that there are days when I am pressured to make much more money and I can very easily do this by using in more customers than I can manage and then not conference my commitments to them. But because I abide by the Bible's "service orientation", I give only my greatest to <a href="http://www.procustomwriting.com/custom-term-papers" rel="nofollow">procustomwriting.com</a> customers, which implies I have to set high quality above amount. And indeed, amount translates to more revenue, but in the lengthy operate, high quality will create a lot more satisfied consumers which in change will carry in a lot more earnings for the enterprise.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03006793125395228381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17391593.post-40899978648879116362011-11-24T22:48:16.106-08:002011-11-24T22:48:16.106-08:00Thank you for providing the information that i was...Thank you for providing the information that i wasn't know.

It's like uberhater Mark Levin spewing macho hate with his 13 year old undescended-testicle voice, once even falling over with a heart attack as he was screaming in a liberal woman's face.<BR/><BR/>I think Clear Channel is too lazy to sell ads and prefers prepaid formats, which is what they did to every talk radio station in the south right off the bat which didn't have stars under million dollar contract. But they mess even with their ratings successes on libtalk, like legendary Mr. K on KTLK drivetime who goosed those ratings high. Today he was doing an interview with DUI lawyer sponsor for his whole first hour. Infomercials r us. <BR/><BR/>Eddie was their biggest ratings and they put him in a sports preempt evening slot. He wouldn't play to pay, and he shouldn't have to. This is nothing but evidence that our public airwaves are being squandered like the treasury under free market bucaneers.gregrockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14593667040335769773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17391593.post-25867466477030032642007-12-18T16:28:00.000-08:002007-12-18T16:28:00.000-08:00The loss of John Ziegler from KFI Radio is a blow ...The loss of John Ziegler from KFI Radio is a blow to a public that wants to listen to straightforward, informed talk instead of political party loyalists. The parade of substitutes KFI has inflicted on the public would make even the most hardened Abu Ghraib prisoner surrender. It's like being held captive at a dinner party by a boring relative who won't stop blathering.

Like John Edwards as a candidate, a flaming liberal talker is just too great a threat to the corporate balance sheet. The few corporations which still have loyalty to America or good government are not in the radio or news business, apparently. <BR/><BR/>Clear Channel's experiment in lib talk was never anything more than a dirty trick, or at best an opportunity to cut their losses if Dems won it all back. But the Dem Congress elected in 06 is so spineless and witless that CC feels free to dump progressive talk, while the other corporate owners thumb their nose by doing such things as rolling out ratings0clunker Dennis Miller on 100 stations while ignoring winner Ed Schultz. <BR/><BR/>Try to imagine how it could have all been different if the Dem Congress would have been smart enough to assure its longevity by FIRST hauling the media corps. before multiple committees to grill them about the far-right takeover of the AM radio dial, or the lies being told by Faux on publically owned airwaves. This would have educated the public to what really poisoned their politics, reminded us who really owns the airwaves, and caused the near-zero-liberal AM talk ownership to have better excuses than flimsy lies about not being able to sell ads on progressive talk signals, when KTLK in L.A. has United Airlines, Bank of America and Trader Joes who would NEVER advertise on rr hate radio. Don't look now, but CC is already trying to lie that KTLK can't sell ads!!gregrockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14593667040335769773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17391593.post-30841592967083047102007-12-13T15:32:00.000-08:002007-12-13T15:32:00.000-08:00I'm bummed about losing Kent also.

Hopefully, Rachel won't leave next. <BR/>At one point, AAR was so entertaining, funny and informative that I didn't have time for all of the great shows although I always had time for Morning Sedition. I will get used to the new AAR though. It's still left, it's still anti-corporate and they still have some great shows like Thom Hartmann, Seder On Sundays and Ring Of Fire. I've listened to alot of radio over the years and I do know that we are lucky to have AAR. For most of my life, we had no voice at all. I'm thankful for any network that dares to question authority and speak the truth and AAR does still do that.progutopianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14993364066984593789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17391593.post-54655711122737531152007-12-13T12:20:00.000-08:002007-12-13T12:20:00.000-08:00"Dr. Maddow?"Who's that?Dr. Savage.

Yes they are the ghost/UFO/loony show, but why not them? Why isn't the most successful show falling over? Well, maybe because that's what people want? If C.C. reads this blog, which I know they do, if you hire more progressive talkers and have equal programming, then maybe you will do well? Bain Capital Partners would not have to be an issue and C.C. would be the greatest network around. Or maybe you should cut cut cut, don't move your investments to new areas, keep it with Rush and watch his show go from 30 million to 10 million (after Howard Stern moved from terrestrial radio to Sirius) and watch the ONLY real progressive show on Premiere's rating go higher and higher and higher, <BR/><BR/>Baroosk, interview George Noory at george@coasttocoastam.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17391593.post-19818537624489778952007-12-13T05:25:00.000-08:002007-12-13T05:25:00.000-08:00Will the last person working in radio please turn ...Will the last person working in radio please turn out the lights?<BR/><BR/>The other people "no longer with us" are listeners. <BR/><BR/>Air America was over-staffed to begin with.

He's been there, what?, six months. He was going to turn things around. He brought in Lionel (questionable move) but little else noteworthy. Now gone.

They've taken their best product and have eliminated a key ingredient. Rachel Maddow is brilliant, entertaining, incisive, and funny, but her program will be just as beige now as the other single-talkies at AAR. Since the axe fell on Marc and Mark, every management incarnation has been determined to weed out any little fiber of quality entertainment they can. No, when AAR dies, I won't feel like a friend of Richard Jeni's when he died (oh my God, how did that happen, I just saw him last week and he seemed just fine), but more like a friend of Chris Farley's when he died (oh, I thought he'd already died, actually, gee, that's too bad, bastard's lucky to have lived long as he did...).Aaron B.
