What happened to Andy Johnson's experiment with Progressive radio in Jax? Last heard at FM 105.7  but not there anymore? Did he move to another spot on the dial? AM?  Or was he screwed by the stationowners who didn't want folks around these parts to hear the likes of Ed Schultz, Thom Hartmann and the excellent lineup Andy put forth?

I would imagine a lack of sponsors and listener base.  I only knew about the station because I happened to work in the same building.

I personally never saw any ads anywhere for it.

Their website says there is a new station announcement coming soon.

We even got a mention on the Stephanie Miller show a few weeks back about being one of the few cities in Florida with a Progressive station. So many conservatives called in during Andy Johnson's show I'm surprised it wasn't a bigger success. Not to mention that Andy has some really conservative ideas when it comes to local politics. He was opposed to Audrey Moran but gave a double endorsement to Alvin Brown/Mike Hogan....
Had a real problem with that.
I just hope his station comes back again because now I listen on the internet.
