'''Liberal talk radio''' has been around a long time. Many people have heard of the launch and subsequent ups and downs of the Air America Radio network, but there are many other less well-known but still significant players on the stage.  Conservative talk radio currently enjoys a 9:1 advantage over liberal talk radio in air time, which has led to talk of reviving the [[Fairness Doctrine]]. <ref>[http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2007/06/talk_radio.html| Structural Imbalance of Political Talk Radio]</ref>

==Personalities==
 
 
 
===Peter B. Collins===
 
 
 
Peter B. Collins broadcasts his three hour daily show "Live from the Left Coast", which is a mix mostly consisting of interviews with a wide range of guest experts early in the show, followed with as many calls from as many kinds of people as he can fit in. Often the guests and callers are able to interact when technology permits.  Peter B. has been in radio since the 70's, working many talk time slots at many stations.  His style is low-key and non-confrontational, even when arguing with people who strongly disagree with him.

6 - 8 pm EST on AAR.
 
 
 
===Mike Malloy===
 
 
 
Mike Malloy has been broadcasting his particular brand of inciteful analysis, listener conversation and disgust with the Bush crime family (and those who should, but do not oppose them), from a secret location near Atlanta since ().  His wife and producer, Kathy Bay also joins in on air, and does a very credible Laura "Pickles" Bush impression.

===Stephanie Miller===
 
 
 
"Mama" Stephanie Miller's three hour daily show is more of a sketch and outrage liberal comedy show, also featuring her Chris Lavoie and "voice diety" Jim Ward.  Many regular features are repeated every day, such as Right Wing World, Stand Up News, and Tinsel Talk.
 
 
 
6 - 9 AM PST on Jones Radio Network

3 - 6 PM EST on AAR
 
 
 
===Ed Schultz===
 
 
 
A native of Norfolk, Virginia, Ed Schultz went to Moorhead State University (now Minnesota State University - Moorhead) on a football scholarship.  After playing one season of professional football in Canada, Schultz moved to the Fargo, North Dakota as a radio sports reporter.  He is currently the #1 [[progressive]] [[liberal]] radio talk show host in the U.S.
 
 
 
Noon - 3 PM EST on Jones Radion Network
 
 
 
===Sam Seder===
 
 
 
An initiate into talk radio hosting with the genesis of Air America Radio on a show he co-hosted with Janeane Garaofolo, "Majority Report", Sam developed a style all his own, and proved himself to the manner (or manor) born.  After Janeane left to pursue her acting career, and to get away from Sam's stutter, he carried the three hour "Sam Seder Show" himself for a year or so.  He is one of the few talk radio hosts who will stay with an angry "oppositional" caller and just keep on arguing with them.  When AAR 2.0 launched, the bean counters relegated him to the 4-7 (EST) slot on Sundays - a surefire way to build ratings in the (northern hemisphere) summer (not).
 
 
 
Maybe it's just that opening bumper music that gets me - The Clash's version of "Pressure Drop".
 
 
 
==Networks==
 
 
 
===NovaM Radio===
