Bring Back Laura

As part of some dumb reformatting decision, the AM 570 station in Washington has moved Laura Ingraham off the morning 9-12 slot she so brilliantly fills.

As part of some dumb reformatting decision, the AM 570 station in Washington D.C. has moved Laura Ingraham off the morning 9-12 slot she so brilliantly fills.

The Washington Examiner explains:

While sports enthusiasts probably were excited when Dan Snyder's Red Zebra Broadcasting switched talk format WTNT (Freedom 570) to SportsTalk 570 on Monday, talk radio lovers may be noticing a void. The swap pulled Laura Ingraham off the air in Washington.

Phil Boyce, president of programming at Talk Radio Network, which syndicates her program, said not to worry. He expects Ingraham's voice will be on the airwaves in the area again in several weeks.

Sorry - this will not do. Laura Ingraham is an indispensable voice in the conservative conversation, and the capital needs to hear her in the days leading up to November 2. Laura delivers a unique combination of a strong right-wing message, leavened with humor and humanity. She reminds too that not all of conservatism's talkers need to be men. Washington's other main talk station, AM 630, listen up: You need Laura. We need Laura. Let's get this done.
