The purpose behind progressive talk radio is to espouse the progressive point of view. People in Eugene already have multiple opportunities to hear the right-wing point of view. "Political intentions" is the whole point.
I wasn't always totally enamored at their programming choices either, but will lament the loss of the only liberal/progressive voice on local commercial radio.
It's too bad liberal/progressive advertisers seemed unable to get beyond the ownership of KOPT and support the VOICE of KOPT.
