| Harry Shearer's Le Show - Sundays at Noon |
|---|
 Quirky, acerbic, and witty, Harry Shearer - the voice of many a Simpsons character, author of "Not Enough Indians" and proud part-time resident of New Orleans - offers a unique hour of political commentary interspersed with music, the "apologies of the week" and, chances are, a self-voiced character or two for good measure. |

 LEFT, RIGHT, & CENTER
Now on Fridays at 5:00pm
Provocative, up-to-the-minute, alive and witty, this weekly confrontation over politics, policy and popular culture proves those with impeccable credentials needn't lack personality. This "love-hate relationship of the air" features four of the most insightful news analysts anywhere: Tony Blankley, Robert Scheer, Arianna Huffington, & Matt Miller.
COUNTERSPIN
Now on Fridays at 5:30pm
CounterSpin provides a critical examination of the major stories every week, and exposes what the mainstream media might have missed in their own coverage. Combining lively discussion and a thoughtful media critique, CounterSpin is unlike any other show on the dial. Hosted and produced by Janine Jackson, Steve Rendall, and Peter Hart, and presented by FAIR (Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting). |
