All I have to say is good luck. Stations in many markets have tried this across the country and failed miserably. Why? Because whiny liberals don't make for good radio, And a national network morning show hosted by Bill Press has no shot at beating the VOM show with Ric and George,

Here's a suggestion: Want this station to really get noticed? Stephen & Tabitha need to host the morning show. That has potential, at least for awhile.

Thats just what maine needs is more liberal crap. The liberal way of life is what has got the state of in the trouble its in now as well as the whole country. You need to put conservative talk host on so that maine folks can hear the truth and not have all that liberal crap pushed down their throat. YOU NEED TO TELL THE TRUTH

seriously? Lib radio is a known entity. Kings tinfoil must need replacingng, or he is just rich enuff 2 not care about this new way 2 blow money. Mr King Maddows ratings Suck. Really?

The reason lib talk has failed so often is because it has been tried on crap signals. It's not the content, it's the reach. Put good lib talk shows on a good stick (like Miller/Press/Schultz/etc.) and it will do very well. Limbaugh isn't successful because he's conservative, he's successful because he presents in a compelling, engaging way.

I agree with DFR, there are things that have gone wrong with progressive radio, but little has to do with content. I think the conservatives just "want it all" in this department and can't stand the idea of progressive radio even existing. Why 90% of talk radio isn't enough for them is beyond me.

If Mr. King is paying attention to our inane dribblings here, I would like to provide some insight for a local host, which I understand he is looking for. This can be a great resource and is sadly missing from most formats, even here in progressive Seattle (we have Reagan, but it's a national show).

I used to live in Miami, and while progressive radio existed there (sadly and insanely replaced with a 4th (uneeded) sports station), we had Jim Defede as a local host in the mornings. I was an avid listener at the time and was at first pissed, because Jim's show had bumped Maddow's current time slot. I quickly got over that as Jim's strong coverage of S Fla political issues combined with his goofy sense of humor was complete ear candy. Another radio great of the region was Neil Rogers. His politics were not completely progressive, but he knew how to draw listeners, and basically showed Randi Rhodes the "ropes" of the business. Either one of these shows would provide a great model for what a local show should sound like.

I find Maine's conservative talk radio to be boring and disgusting propaganda. I have just started listening to this new station and quite honestly, I find it to be boring and disgusting propaganda. How about dispersing some contemporary adult music into the mix to brighten up the day? Maybe limit the talk to half hour intervals.

This is the worst radio station that I have ever listened to. I took it right out of my memory bank in my car. Come on Stephen King, you can do better than that. I am tired of politics, all they do is bash the republicans and still use George Bush Jr. as an excuse for all their screw ups!!!! Please change this format.

Love the new format! Hopefully, this will have the same effect on the Maine tea-baggers as a detox program has on drug addicts. I've lived in Maine for over seven years now and I've never seem so many ignorant and misinformed people in my entire life. Nurtured no doubt on The Voice of Maine 103.9, Maine conservatives still believe that Iraq had WMD'S, that Bush 43 was a great President, Palin should be elected in 2012 and people on welfare are a greater threat to our freedom and standard of living than the unbridled capitalism and Wall Street greed touted on conservative talk radio.

The best and most listened to programs on WZON are Dale and Clem. What they do in covering the sports scene for the local schools is uplifting. The way to help the economy is to get behind our youth and all the extra curricular activities posted by many high schools in the state. Children are still the same, they just want to know the adults care and show a good supportive example. Sports on WZON is the last great hope for our youth who will be leaders for tomorrow. Come on WZON - improve your sports coverage so youth feel there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks to Dale and Clem, kids have a ray of light in which to strive for. Sports was once the driving mechanism for your listening audience. Maybe more time should be given to the kids to protect the future.
