What's happening to talk radio in the Puget Sound area? Tonight's fresh ratings data for the Seattle-Tacoma market doesn't bode well for the format.

I liked this comment on the blog:

Hannity is just yelling. If I wanted yelling, I'd just ask my wife a valid question, like "Is dinner going to be late again tonight?"

Maybe if radio tried having less than 30 minutes of "breaks" per hour, the audience would come back.

Come back? LOL. Neither Sean nor Rush are hurting for listeners. I listen to Hannity every day driving home from work. He does more than yell. :-) Anyone who says otherwise doesn't really listen.
