Twice in one month
This may not be Dennis Prager's year. After announcing that he's getting divorced earlier, he apparently is having to deal with lawyers yet again over his subscription web site. That's how I listen to Dennis, via downloads, only they stopped suddenly this week. A stark note on the free side says " CDs, audio tapes, and downloads of the Dennis Prager Radio Show are no longer available through this website." On the inside it says:
I can't help but wonder if this is a community property problem. Meanwhile, the page where you unsubscribe is curiously unavailable.
UPDATE: The dispute is between Salem Broadcasting and Dennis Prager, Salem beleiving the content is theirs, not Prager or his company "The Prager Perspective". I still fault Dennis for the lack of warning, meaning unless this is solved fairly soon, I will forever miss last week's shows. He is at least suspending the automatic payments and offering refunds. Hugh Hewitt says he is working on a podcasting deal for early this year. Maybe he's run into the same thing.
Personally, I think Salem has the better of the argument here. There is so much more than just the on-air talent involved in making a national talk show work.
We are locked in a dispute that prevents us from [rebroadcasting] the show. We are hoping to get it resolved very soon, but until we do we can't post shows. When the problem is resolved we hope to have expanded and improved offerings, including podcasting. Right now, however, it's day to day.
