I'm bumming...The progressive radio station that I have been listening to for a couple of years is going away. It seems clear channel has decided on another sports station...

The timing of this stinks because I was really looking forward to hearing some positive stuff on the radio instead of the usual wailing against whatever right wing policy is carrying the day.
I would listen in the morning on the way to work...over lunch if I went anywhere and in the evening on my way home. That's about the extent of it. Lee & Jodi in the morning, Al Franken over Lunch, and Big Eddie for the ride home. Every once in a while I would catch Stephannie Miller or Randi Rhodes if I was out and about, but I generally don't listen to the radio other then when I am in the car.
When the gas prices spiked during Katrina a couple of coworkers and I started carpooling and I would listen to NPR in deferrence to my coworkers less liberal tendencies. So I have been listening even less lately. Now I am bumming.
This morning it wasn't Lee and Jodi but something different. I didn't think much about it until I saw the article.
So what's a guy to do?
How do you get your fix of progressive radio if you're unlucky enough to live in an area that is deemed unworthy by clear channel?
