Isn't it amazing that a guy on AM like "Schniitt" can regularly produce better ratings then all previous Liberal am talk jocks! Even the worst conservatism talk radio has to offer does better then any liberal jock on a good day... Could it be that blaming Bush for every problem on the planet over the last 100 years is not sellable air time.
So conservatism moves to XM radio with no commercials and were all happy...
Didn't the X Soviet union control media content in a similar fashion? This seems like a move towards a john Titor ending in so many ways...

Heh, I've listened to that guy, I'm thinking he replaced Glen Beck? Used to live in Tampa, LOVED Mark Larsen, don't know how 970 let him go

If ratings are the gauge you are using, there must be very few conservatives in Dallas. Nobody comes close to matching Russ Martin. He's not a conservative talk host, does that mean he's a liberal?

Everyone complains about the "liberal media". 98% of the country's radio stations are owned by 3 companies. Does that mean Clear Channel, Susquihanna and Infinity are nothing but liberal outlets?

Well for aCTUAL news, they all subscribe to CBS or ABC radio for the half hour 'news' (some subscribe to Fox radio now)..ALL stations disavow the talky guys, no matter what their politics. The talky guys are on there because they get ratings...most stations have a local guy on in the am, or mebbe afternoon drive if it a big city, if said city it actually HAS news (unlike mine). One point of note is that most of the recent discussions about talk shows were initiated by Trent Lott, George Bush and Lindsey Graham--Republicans (Rinos)---said hosts are getting in the way of legalizing 15 million illiterate 3rd world people into our country to benefit Teddy Kennedy and a buncha business owners

Lib or Con radio is not the issue here. It is free speech. I listen to Con radio and dab into the Libs just to laugh at them. Really does talk radio represent the middle of the road political person. I say yes. There are more Con radio shows than Lib right now. And I agree Lib raido is laughable at best.

Then again, maybe not.
