I'm hearing some rumblings that Clear Channel is looking to put BizRadio on 570. www.bizradio.com/home.phpI've never heard of most of these people before. That would make it a tough sell. The only one I've heard of is Loral Langemeier and that's only because I've heard a ton of commercials for her mail order stuff. That's not saying much. Seems to me that even Air America would be a better choice. At least at AA you've heard of some of the hosts. |

Wow. That's hard to believe, but certainly possible. There is plenty of business news available besides BizRadio. I'd hope they would choose the best among that which is available. Years ago I used to listen many hours a day to business radio in Phoenix (KFNN 1510) and in Portland (KBNP 1410), but that was before CNBC became available on satellite.
They certainly wouldn't have a large audience but it would be comparatively very affluent -- prime territory for Lexus ads.
And yes, Loral Langemeier has some extremely annoying ads. I guess that's why we remember her name.

Was KFNN ever affiliated with the FNN satellite network?

Was KFNN ever affiliated with the FNN satellite network? I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised. As you may know, FNN started as a single UHF TV station in LA and eventually became CNBC. There is certainly a market for financial information. I miss being able to hear the Bob Brinker show that KNRS used to carry on weekends. XM doesn't carry it any more either. I actually have to listen through the static to KVNU 610 in Logan to get my fix. Maybe the new KNRS will carry him again. |

CNBC was created by NBC and was separate from FNN for a number of years. CNBC won the ratings war and ended up buying FNN. They branded as CNBC/FNN for several months to transition FNN's viewers over. |
