I know a lot of our listeners tune in to Derry’s show in the evenings when we air it and more are also catching it in the mornings.

Derry is leaving Learfield as of this writing to continue his pursuits on his own. You can read about it here and here.

I think this line sums it up the best:

You claim that Derry did not give balance on the Monsanto story. Derry IS the balance! You will not find anyone telling the truth in our “esteemed media”. They are bought and paid for by just such corporations as Monsanto through advertising. Letting go of his program, and Derry himself, whom we all know to be a man of integrity, just proves he is right. The big companies (Monsanto) with big money pull the strings. Well – Derry won’t jump, and neither will we. We love you Derry and crew, and we support you no matter how this shakes out! Kris

We will continue to air The Derry Brownfield Show as long as possible. We’re going follow him over to his new network and keep on trucking. This is just another example of big business controlling the media to their benefit.

I believe Derry is the voice of the small non-corporate farmer and his common sense approach to life “down on the farm” is just that – common sense. It’s mentioned that The Derry Brownfield Show is entertainment not news, in many ways that may be true but the show also delves into subject matter that’s important to listeners and the general public alike – I think the word that should’ve been used is edu-taintment.

Personally I’m glad to see that Clyde Lear at least ponied up to try and help Derry continue though in my heart I believe the best option would’ve been to bring the two head to head (Monsanto vs. Brownfield) on air in a two part exchange rather than to simply kick Derry out the door.

Stay tuned for more info and scheduling changes as needed. I will adjust our entire lineup if necessary to keep Derry on air here on SaGR.

    Glad to hear that the show will continue both here and elsewhere. It is another case on corporate control of the media and the politicians.

    I second the comments on Derry being more the voice of the small farmer.

    We’ve got a very small heard and are threatened by NAIS and other controls that will flat put us out of business if they are put into action.

    On another note, we caught your show the first time a few months ago and have been listening ever since. You mentioned on air that one listener said you sounded like the Bickersons, I had to laugh at that out loud. My parents listened to that show when I was a child.

    Thanks for your work and thank you for keeping Derry on your station.

    Sincerely,

    The “local” station, Thayer, that used to carry Derry has gone to mostly gospel programming and no longer carries the show. And now I can’t find any way to get it via the Net. I have a shortwave radio, but I can never get anything on it.
