Well it looks like Clear Channel pulled one over on me and other Milwaukee radio listeners. The format change to talk radio was a hoax, and they're now playing 80s music (wow, how original).

However, the fact that they teased the audience that the station would move to "progressive talk" tells me they believe that there's an audience for it in Milwaukee. I wouldn't be surprised if CC switches one of their other low-rated stations to the format in the weeks or months ahead.

For the time being though, the wasteland of Milwaukee radio lives on unchanged in any significant way.
