Democracy Radio was an organization founded in 2002 by Tom Athans and Paul Fiddick dedicated to creating political balance on America s commercial radio airwaves. The concept was to develop and incubate progressive oriented talk programming and enlist radio networks to market the programs to stations around the country. Democracy Radio developed and produced talk shows that launched the national careers of Ed Schultz and Stephanie Miller , among others. In 2003, Democracy Radio recruited its first talk show host Ed Schultz from KFGO in Fargo, North Dakota . The Ed Schultz Show was launched January 4, 2004. Democracy Radio retained Jones Radio Networks to handle radio syndication affiliate relations and advertising sales. The show became a quick success, as it grew to over 100 stations and 8 of the top 10 markets since its debut. On June 8, 2005, Democracy Radio sold its stake in The Ed Schultz Show to a new company headed by veteran radio executive Randy Michaels , the former CEO of Clear ... Miller debuted her new show, also syndicated by Jones. In November 2005, Democracy Radio s partner in The Stephanie Miller Show, WYD Media headed by radio industry veteran Ron Hartenbaum , purchased Democracy ... WDTW in Detroit, Michigan . Democracy Radio helped to develop new radio shows concurrently with the rise of another similar venture, Air America Radio , which created an entire radio network of left leaning talk shows. As the goal of Democracy Radio was to help grow the format and to develop new talk shows, the company encouraged Air America s success. On November 4, 2005, Athans announced on the company s website that he would be joining the management team of Air America, effectively shutting down Democracy Radio. He felt that the combined efforts of the two organizations would make the format much more viable in the future. External links http ltradio.blogspot.com 2005 11 democracy radio ...

Democracy Substantive democracy is a form of democracy in which the outcome of elections is representative of the people. In other words, substantive democracy is a form of democracy that functions in the interest of the governed. Although a country may allow all citizens of age to vote, this characteristic does not necessarily qualify it as a substantive democracy. In a substantive democracy, the general population plays a real role in carrying out its political affairs, i.e., the state is not merely set up as a democracy but it functions as one as well. This type of democracy can also be referred to as a functional democracy. There is no good example of an objectively substantive democracy. The opposite of a substantive democracy is a formal democracy , which is where the relevant forms of democracy exist but are not actually managed democratically. The former Soviet Union can be characterized in as such, since its constitution was essentially democratic but in actuality the state was managed by a bureaucracy bureaucratic lite .
