Liberal talk radio station set to debut in Milwaukee-Waukesha

The Milwaukee-Waukesha radio market is getting a liberal talk radio station Feb. 1.

Wisconsin-based Devil's Advocate Radio Show announced Friday that it struck a deal to acquire WRRD-AM (1510) from current licensee Good Karma Brands.

Financial details of the deal were not disclosed.

The format change will take place Feb. 1 even as the application for the Federal Communications Commission license transfer is processed. The station currently airs Spanish-language sports ESPN Deportes.

The station has a 25,000-watt daytime signal that covers the Milwaukee metropolitan area. The station will also simulcast on a live stream, 24 hours daily.

"I'm a big believer in facts. I don't believe in alternative facts," said Michael Crute, co-host of Devil's Advocate Radio. "I don't care what the (political) letter is around the name, we're going to hold all politicians accountable."

Crute and co-host Dominic Salvia will anchor afternoon drive-time with The Devil's Advocates Radio Show.

Other programming includes the Bill Press Show, the Stephanie Miller Show and the Thom Hartman Show. Westwood One will provide national news. The Earl Ingram Show will air Saturday afternoons.
