America needs alternative radio for progressives to listen to

Most radio markets no longer have the option of choosing a 24 hour format of progressive mainly because progressive radio is not profitable kind of like here in Anchorage when a common working stiff taxi driver can not own a taxi permit because they require that you pay over 100,000 to get one.  This is not the American dream even many taxi drivers who come from other countries come to America to seek opportunity.  Plus progressive need their own radio station to hang up.  Many people say that NPR or I like to call it National Puke Radio already is the progressive which only ten percent of federal taxpayer dollars to the Corporation for Public Broadcast.  You figure places like Seattle and Portland progressives actually control the local government would have an independent progressive radio station.  The progressive radio station have converted to sports stations.  Here in Alaska we need an outlet for Shannyn Moore, Kathy Phillips and Cary Carrigan to air their opinions to local Alaskans.  Right now on Shannyn has a progressive show on a station that carries Fox News Radio,  Cary last time I check is a sub playing records and Kathy is reduced to reading the news and occasionally does a show does a podcast version of the Better Beer Show however does not appear live on KOAN version at 5pm on Saturday's hosted by someone else
