>>>I could see a talk station shutting down if it was Air America but they had conservative talk,
Just goes to show that the pull back in advertising by car dealers and real estate agents is indscriminate. It follows in the footsteps of the local conservative weekly which ended its print version last fall, opting for an online production. Although nothing has posted since before Christmas. Another thing hurt this station was that did not have a very strong signal and could not be picked up in much of Charlotte. The 50,000 watt WBT broadcasts Rush here in CLT and appears to be at no threat of disappearing.
Ah, the weak signal figured into it!
In New England there was a liberal talk host awhile back
who got kicked off (Deborah “Arnie” Arnesen) because, among other things, she started referring to SUVs as “FUVs”. Car
dealers sponsoring her show were not pleased!
