Progressive Talk Radio for Eastern Iowa
- by: PREIA
- recipient: KXIC Radio
As a radio listener in the Cedar Rapids / Iowa City area, I am concerned that radio programming on local stations is too heavily skewed to a conservative point of view. To achieve better political balance that will promote public dialog and democratic discourse, I encourage radio station managers to consider switching all or part of their programming to progressive talk radio. There are many highly successful progressive talk programs to choose from - Thom Hartmann, Ed Schulz, Stephanie Miller, to name only a few.
I believe that progressive talk radio has a high probability of financial success in the Cedar Rapids/Iowa City area because it is a market that votes predominately Democratic in local, state, and national elections. I also believe that progressive talk will succeed in the Cedar Rapids/Iowa City area because of verifiable voting trends, and because people in this area enjoy healthy debate and are starved for a balanced perspective on our airwaves.
We the undersigned would like you to add progressive talk programming to your daily line-up. The Iowa City corridor is a progressive, diverse community, and we feel an alternative to conservative talk radio is essential to reflect the range of views of our local citizens.
