| Chattanooga talk station dumps Air America |
| 2006-08-24 |
| On the heels of yesterday's announcement that their NY affiliate is goin' Gospel . . . ChattanoogaÂ’s oldest radio station, WDOD, has ended its 11-month experiment with progressive talk radio. At 10 a.m. this past Monday, the station switched to a format featuring musical oldies and standards from the late 1950s and the 1960s and 1970s, according to Danny Howard, director of programming and operations for WDEF and WDOD. The new format, which is locally controlled, is known around the station as Ruby AM 1310. . . . One highlight of the new format will be RubyÂ’s Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting, when host Chris Adams will play Southern Gospel music. Adams also will host a similar show on Sundays called RubyÂ’s Fried Chicken Sunday Dinner. You've pulled the plug on Al Franken and all of the moonbats, Ruby are you contemplating changing your format? The Arbitron report tells me our rating's goin' down, Oh Ruby, . . . don't kick me out of town. It wasn't me that started that old crazy Iraq war,--it was Bushitler and Halliburton and Karl Rove and the Jews and the oil companies and Diebold voting machines and Jews and black helicopters and the CIA and the Jews and . . . whaddaya mean "it doesn't fit the tune 'cause it's got too many syllables?" But I was proud to go and do my liberal Marxist chore, And yes, it's true that nobody's listening to me, Oh Ruby, . . . I still need some company. (Apologies to songwriter Mel Tillis and to Kenny Rogers & the First Edition.) |

| #2 Having lived near Chattanooga for 13 years, I can't believe anyone put it on the air at all. Whose Now, "RubyÂ’s Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting," Southern Gospel, and "RubyÂ’s Fried Chicken Sunday Dinner" sound more like the Chattanooga I knew. |
