Being in Ohio, I haven't been paying much attention to the
new 'left' radio network that's getting off the ground at
the end of the month. In Sunday's long Al Franken bio piece
in the NYTIMEs, I read this:
Most of the network's shows are
three hours long; live programming
will run from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.,
with reruns filling in overnight
and on weekends, at least
initially. Each show will mix hard
news, politics and pop culture as
its hosts and writers see fit.
Several programs will consist of a
pair of hosts, like a comedian and
a traditional radio news foil.
Franken's co-host is Katherine
Lanpher from Minnesota Public
Radio. Other hosts include the
comedian Janeane Garofalo, who
will run the evening shift, and
Winstead, who will fill the 9
a.m.-to-noon slot with, as
co-host, the Public Enemy rapper
Chuck D.
Holy smokes. Janeane Garofalo and Chuck D???
