Just wondering if right wing radio is getting the boot elsewhere in the country. In MN. One right wing station fired their right wing goons and put on moderates. One left winger was even put on to anchor their morning show. The FM 50,000 watt flagship of clear channel that boosts Limbaugh Beck and Hannity no longer has talk radio on the weekend.
There's a long, long, long way to go before right wing radio loses its popularity. It was popular in the Bush days and you KNOW it's more popular now. I dont think it ever will actually. Which is fine! Free market.

Not asking whether it's popular or not. I'm asking if the stations are tired of losing money on it. We know that Limbaugh has not made money for clear channel for a long time. Question is are the rest of the right wing talkers losing money. If so how long are the stations going to write them off.

I didnt know that about Limbaugh, do you have a link?
It *could* be that radio in general is falling off. People have their iPods, the internet etc. But I dunno.
Pretty much everything on terrestrial radio is losing money these days. We are seeing a trend from Arbitron (ratings/data gathering) that suggests that more poor people listen to the radio than ever before because this group generally doesn't have IPods, or a vast CD collection. The problem with this trend is that poor people are less likely to actually purchase the products that the advertisers are selling.
To answer your question, yes, stations and radio conglomerates are tired of losing money. AM right wing talk radio is not going away, but the demographic and psychographic trends suggest that it will slowly die.
He is, among people who dont need to be told what to believe.
Seriously. I'm so tired of right wingers screaming like little schoolgirls at a Beatles concert for their favorite politician. And I'm so tired of right wingers taking everything their leaders say as gospel and calling anyone that dares to think differently childish names like "teabaggers". And I'm so tired of all the right wingers that are standing up to a government that's trying to take over industries. And I'm so tired of the right wing that now is so insecure that it's asking it's constituents to report anything that doesn't jive with their rhetoric to the white house.
Oh....wait......nevermind.
