Stephanie Miller joins the 540AM XESURF lineup
San Diego liberal talk fans still in KLSD remission do have at least a little something to cheer about, as a strong signaled station in the market adds one of the most popular progressive talk shows in the country to its lineup.
The Stephanie Miller Show has been added to Saul Levine’s XESURF (540AM), which covers the San Diego market from its Tijuana tower. Her show will air in morning drive from 6-9A weekdays. This will be her first affiliate in the market, as KLSD never carried her show.

Save KLSD: The Film – Nearing completion
A documentary about how corporate influence corrupts government regulation, limits the free flow of information, and adversely effects American democracy.
The producers of this film report that they are nearing the end of the filming stage. This film is about how media consolidation has affected radio and our democracy, wanted to give you an update on our progress. It tells that story “through the events that led up to the demise of KLSD as San Diego’s only Progressive Talk station – as the owners of the station, Clear Channel, flipped the format to Sports Talk.”
They also point out: “It’s interesting to note that the latest ratings of the station are so low that they don’t even show up in the listings, which is the first time that’s happened in the history of the station.”
You can watch an updated preview clip at: www.saveklsd.com/KLSD_Preview.wmv

How to listen to streaming radio
One easy way of hearing your favorite programs is by using your computer and its speakers as a radio. A WiFi connection helps to get the best audio quality, but decent audio quality can be had for spoken word with even a low-speed dial-up connection (but watch the phone bill). There are many audio players that can be downloaded from the internet for free and used for streaming. I recommend iTunes and Winamp for best features and fewest problems. I would stay away from RealPlayer and Windows Media Player because they crash often and give poor audio quality. Some streaming sources will require you to use a certain type of player, so you may not have a choice. The iTunes has a good selection of “radio” streams you can browse including “Talk”, where you will find Air America and KPFK (Pacifica community radio) among others. To hear your favorite programs streaming through your computer’s speakers, just find out when it is broadcast live, then find a website that carries live streaming audio. Click on the link, and usually that’s it. Here are a few good sources of streaming audio for some of the most popular shows:
