Louisville gets FM hate talk station

As if Louisville doesn't have enough right-wing talk on AM (with no liberal counterweight), now it has a right-wing FM talker to boot.

WLRS has adopted a new talk format, filled entirely by syndicated hosts. These include right-wing loudmouths like Glenn Beck, Michael Sewage, and Laura Ingraham.

Right-wing hate talk proliferates in Louisville despite the fact that the Republican presidential ticket lost Jefferson County by 12%. (No GOP presidential candidate has won the county since 1988.) A similar pattern of hard-right radio can be seen in other cities where the GOP has been rejected by the public (including Cincinnati).

WLRS was a legendary set of calls before the early '90s, when bad programming decisions reduced its influence. It was decimated further when the WLRS call letters were moved from 102.3 to the weaker 105.1 facility.

After the latest dumb move, don't expect WLRS to recover any time soon.

This is radio, after all.
