Author: "Vince From Villanova" (wannabe talk-show host extraordinaire)
Subject: Why do people say that liberal talk radio CAN'T work? There are plenty of failed conservative hosts out there too. (Fine, fine, add me to that list for now.) But there are a handful of successful liberal talkers: Alan Colmes, Randi Rhodes in West Palm Beach, pretty much the entire roster at Real Radio 104.1-FM in Orlando. I'm sure there are others too. Liberal, conservative, doesn't matter. First and foremost, you have to be ENTERTAINING. The hosts I mentioned are.

Do you actually think Alan Colmes is entertaining? Good grief, is it entertaining to watch him make a fool of himself just about every night on FNC? I will admit, he would fare better on radio..... he is very hard on the eyes.

[> [> [> [> Alan Colmes "WOULD fare better on radio"? He already is on radio, and has been for a while in New York City, and he's just been rolled out for some small-scale national syndication as well. (WMEL here in Melbourne just added him.) I rarely agree with him, but he actually makes me think, unlike the parade of syndicated conservative clones that masquerade as talk show hosts on many stations. Just because I agree with a host doesn't mean I like to listen to them. -- "Vince From Villanova" (Don't make me nod. Make me think.), 06:03:36 03/07/03 Fri

I could have sworn that I heard his radio show was cancelled in NYC. Did one station cancel him and another then pick him up? I know one thing, I won't be searching the AM dial to find him.

That's why Fox News paired him with Sean Hannity. -- "Vince From Villanova" (Liberals are people too...), 17:18:38 03/08/03 Sat
