The Mic 92.1 Spins in Circles

Monona resident and progressive left Madison's Progressive Talk - The Mic 92.1 shortly after the station gave the steel-toed boot to Thom Hartmann and replaced him with a conservative Christian financial talk show (Huh?).

Isthmus: Madison's The Mic 92.1 boots Thom Hartmann, and Lee Rayburn follows

But after local outrage, station management has returned Hartmann to our airwaves (yes, the radio airwaves belong to the public). Yeahh! Double but, management has now slotted the conservative (don't really care that he's Christian) into Lee's old time slot (5 a.m. to 8 a.m.). Boo!

Isthmus follow-up by Emily Mills: Madison progressive radio fans win again (well, sort of in a half-way kind of way).

What the H-E-double hockey sticks is going on around here?! (H-E Double Hockey Sticks - the movie version).

Is financial and personal advice from a conservative host a sensible lead in to The Stephanie Miller Show?

And Lee is looking for another gig:

"Rayburn discussed his desire to revisit Willy Street Media, a nonprofit news outlet featuring Madison-area activists and artists, something he’d launched in 2007 with business partner Joe Connelly. He reiterated some of what he’d told me in our phone interview from the previous day. Now, however, he sounded surer of himself and of his determination to find a new broadcast venue, giving voice to local issues, in the very near future."

My friend, as another radio guy used to say, "Good night, and good luck".
