Letter: Right monopolizes local talk radio

Tuesday, Sept. 26, 2006 | 7:21 a.m.

I sympathize and support recent readers who lament the absence of local radio stations with "oldie" formats. I also wish that the Las Vegas Valley contained an outlet for "Air America Radio," as do a number of other cities.

Right-wing radio is overrepresented here, in terms of both national and local talk shows. A balance is needed to maintain the sanity of progressives in Southern Nevada - particularly during ride times - and to provide a bit of humor to offset the anger and hatred of the authoritarian right.
