KPTK 1090 AM

UPDATE :
After about 8 months of phone calls and emails, I finally got a refund on the certificates that didn’t work. SO, I’m bumping them up for doing the right thing ans sticking by their products. Excellent Radio line-​up, but I’m still staying away from the ½ off promotions!

THIS IS A GREAT AM AND LATE NIGHT PROGRESSIVE TALK LINEUP. The shows deserve 3 – 5 stars. Steph is wonderful, Thom is brilliant, and Mike Malloy the the soul that screams the rage I feel every night.
I will agree that they need a local show, however…
THE SEATTLE HALF OFF IS A TOTAL F – KING SCAM. DON’T BUY IT!
To date I have seen several restaurants featured in the Seattle half Off decide that they no longer accept the certificates for various reasons. One mentioned that they were scammed by the promotion. Another told me that due to a change in management they didn’t want to honor the certificates. I’ve lost more money on this SCAM than I hoped to save.
I’ll continue to listen [or pod cast], I’ll even encourage people to listen and support the advertisers, BUT I WILL MAKE SURE I TELL EVERYONE TO AVOID MEDIAWEBCONNECT AND SEATTLE HALF OFF.

No local shows. In a progressive city like Seattle, this is unforgivable. KPOJ in Portland sets the example on how to do it right. It’s not as if we have a shortage or radio-​experienced progressives — Goldy, Dan Savage, Erin Hart…
I CAN’T STAND STEPHANIE MILLER. And Malloy, for that matter.
Air America made a huge mistake when it canned Morning Sedition and Sam Seder. KPTK could really establish itself — locally and nationally — if it courted and syndicated a morning show of Maron vs. Seder vs. Goldy.
This would require spending some money, though, for something other than bumper stickers and sign-​wavers — KPTK doesn’t strike me as that kind of operation.

Have to say that I don’t usually have time to listen to KPTK 1090 AM (Air America) except for later afternoon. This is awesome, because that’s when it airs «The Rachel Maddow Show» — and it’s aired live, too! I’ve listened to Rachel Maddow’s incomparable punditry skills for more than three years, and she gets better and better all the time. Thank you KPTK for continuing to keep her on the air schedule (… also for having neat contests and stuff, too).

I love these guys! I first got hooked on Air America in San Diego, and totally miss Stacy Taylor and Scooter, but we’ve got a pretty good line up here too. Good luck to Al Franken with his campaign! My only gripe is that the reception is pretty spotty out here in the boonies (Edmonds ;-).

I usually get the end of the Young Turks when I wake up in the morning, and the beginning of Stephanie Miller show. Both interesting programs. I havent been listening too much lately because I dont have headphones with am/​fm at work, but if I did, I would be listening to this station more often. My favorite radio personality is Thom Hartmann because he really delivers the background on different issues he talks about. Ed Schultz is entertaining as an every day Joe, though I dont believe is as authoriative as Hartmann. I havent listened to Rachel Maddox too much, but from what I heard she is interesting. Al Franken, the superstar of Air America, brings comedy to opinion. Love the guests he brings in. Not a huge fan of Randi Rhodes at all. Just sounds like she complains all the time. And Mike Malloy… are you kidding me? Not a fan at all, but I guess the left needs someone like Michael Savage. I wish they had some local talent, to talk about local issues from a left of center perspective.
Rock!

Randi Rhodes, Al Franken, Stephanie Miller, Thom Hartmann, Ed Schultz and if you really want to get riled up — Mike Malloy! Every since we lost Erin Hart and others over at KVI, I’ve moved my radio here. 1090 am. The best talk radio I’ve ever heard! Never boring, they get me thinking, get me riled up and keep me awake at nght. It’s hard to pick a favorite, first Randi has me laughing then Al Franken’s got me ticked off! A new home for thinking, progressive people.
