Posted on 12/19/12 at 02:20 pm in response to Fall 2012 radio ratings: What's going on with talk?

MyTalk targets women. I find the personalities insipid and insulting. Don't they think women want any form of intelligent conversation? Didn't they let Kevin Berger go because she was too substantive?

I like all the MPR stations but have a hard time listening because their personalities (except for Mary Lucia) can't seem to complete a sentence without saying "um" or "ah". Like nails on a chalkboard. Actually that's happening in every media outlet. I'm listening to Pandora instead.

Mr. Krasnoff,

Surely you must be aware that not all marriages result in the production children. What you describe sounds like a business agreement whether you wish to admit it or not. With the world population at 6 billion maybe we need to re-think your definition and accept that same sex marriage isn't the farce you want to think it is. Same sex marriage will not impact heterosexual marriages or the ability to procreate.

Isn't it PArry with an A? :)

That's why I don't listen to My Talk - the lack of substance. I'm happy for Kevyn.

As a woman I much prefer The Current to Cities 97. What prevents me from listening to MPR is that their hosts use so many fillers (ums, ers, ahs) that I can't stand to listen to them. They should have better training. I listen to KFAN instead.

They haven't demonstrated a compelling need to change the current laws. There are more important things to concentrate on.

in addition to paying legislators only if they achieve real results, we should include sports teams.

How sad. This looks exactly like the type of program that should be funded.
