Liberal radio doesn’t have broad appeal
Earlier this month I wrote about the death of Greenstone Media, Jane Fonda and Gloria Steinem’s failed attempt at all-women’s radio (aka WPMS). Critics of my column pointed to the success of other liberal women radio show hosts like Stephanie Miller and the Satellite Sisters.
Guess who is joining Greenstone on the unemployment line?
The Satellite Sisters are being dropped by ABC Radio Network. I guess they’ll have to change their name because XM radio is also taking them off their system.

The Satellite Sisters were called that long before they were on satellite radio. They were on public radio for three years before they went to commercial radio. I listened on Minnesota Public Radio. They are a lot more like the car talk brothers than they are like the rest of talk radio. They spent the last five years being distributed by ABC Radio to many local stations plus XM. I listen on my local station in the Twin Cities FM107.1. They are not a political show and I would never describe it as either liberal or conservative. Have you ever listened? It’s much more just about a women which is why i like it so much.
