Can't listen at work, since they block streams at the firewall. Caught a bit of Garafolo's show and was not impressed with the show, but they do have a better grade of transitional music than standard talk radio. The stream cut out at 11 when they were supposed to repeat Franken. The website was lacking, too. They're starting small and they have a lot of work to do. Most of the commercials were PSA's, so once they get some more stations and a solid revenue stream in place it should improve. Rhoads is the only 'radio' person they hired, so I think Franken and Garafolo were just to get some press notice for the start-up. They'll probably be replaced by the end of the year.
BTW - There was a announcement in Today's PD that Clear Channel hired Jessie Jackson for a one hour Sunday Morning Liberal talk show... It looked legit, but it could have been a spoof. Haven't seen any other source.
