KLCC is decidely slanted to the left with stuff like "earth and sky" "new dimensions" and news heavy on all things environmental, sensitivity stuff, stories about being "inclusive", etc. Can't blame them if they're catering to the dues paying members I guess.
Jefferson Public Radio (AM 1280) and KDRV are much more interesting to me and entirely different menu so I don't think KLCC will be cutting into their listener base. If the KLCC folks think it's going to happen I'm sure they'll be disappointed.
What IS interesting is that an AM license is suddenly worth $500,000 in Eugene! A decade ago they were almost being given away--and sometimes they actually were.
What happened? Well, I don't really like the guy but I think Rush Limbaugh happened. AM radio was dead in the water with nothing but oldies formats and hispanic. Talk made AM viable again and Limbaugh is they guy they all imitate...even the lefties.
