About the Speaker
David Goldstein is an American blogger and former talk radio host in Seattle, Washington. From 2006 to 2008, he hosted The David Goldstein Show on Saturdays and Sundays on710 KIRO.
And we’re delighted to share the terrific news from our friends from Blue Oregon about Carl Wolfson’s return to the Portland airwaves:
When Clear Channel killed KPOJ‘s progressive talk radio, thousands of Oregonians lost access to a lot of great progressive talk. People pulled together and built the Save KPOJ movement and helped Carl Wolfson back behind the mic, with an internet radio show.
Now, it’s time to take this to the next level. Progressive talk radio is coming to the FM dial in Portland: KXRY — to be known as XRAY.¬FM will be a combination of progressive talk radio and music from the Northwest. It’s a local, not-for-profit radio station.
Soon Portland Area residents willl be able to hear Carl Wolfson and Thom Hartmann on their FM dial. Before that happens, XRAY.-FM will soon be available online, so everyone in Oregon will be able to enjoy this new progressive radio station.
We had a famous local radio guest at our last Progressive Radio Seattle meeting! Following is the response from a Team member who couldn’t be there that I wanted to share:
“Hi. What interesting developments! I’m glad there are radio professionals who feel that broadcast radio is not doomed to irrelevance. My sense is that talk radio can be a means to build community and should be cultivated.
The problem is return on capital. There may not be enough profit potential to entice investors whose only interest is making more (and more) money, but there could be “social returns” that would stimulate donations and memberships from the community.
This means that there is an opening for alternative institutions based on democratic principles. We just need to frame the possibilities correctly, articulate institutional designs, and organize!” – PH, Seattle
We are still working to host a Reunion Event. If you want to help plan the event, and have not yet been contacted please email Julia: Juliachase@comcast.net
Thanks all for hanging in there. We’ll send out another update soon with some additional information.
