 "Dial Global...is shopping them elsewhere"! Even before the Jeff Santos-financed "Progressive Talk"
 on WWZN-AM, it would seem that there should have been a market for Stephanie Miller and Ed Schultz,
 since both shows are professionally produced and "entertaining". (Right-wing talk-show hosts constantly
 promoted the idea that left-wing talk isn't as entertaining as its right-wing counterpart, even though
 hosts such as G. Gordon Liddy, Bill Bennett, and Mark Levin among others rivalled Ambien(tm) and without
 the side effects. Apparently nobody saw fit to add them to their lineups then, and it's unlikely now unless
 some suburban signal is interested.
