KPAX is reporting that progressive talk radio is on tap for Missoula in the new year. Their story says that they don’t know what station it’ll be on, but that the new format will be unveiled next week. I wonder if this will be a result of the efforts of Missoula Community Radio, the group formed after local progressive talk radio station KKNS shut down in March of 2006 following only six months on the air.
Here’s hoping for the return of a full-fledged, full-time progressive station!

Update: New West is reporting that KLCY will be converting to “KMPT, Missoula’s progressive talk.”
Update2: A commenter suggests that there is no connection to Missoula Community Radio. As the New West article mentions, this is a Dave Cowan project. Dave was involved with short-lived KKNS.
