There are times around here where your only other choices are polkas, preachers and call-in medical shows.

It is a reflex button push when Hannity becomes too much to take. I listen to a lot of sports radio between the hours of 3 and 6 PM.

I miss Eddie Andleman and the Sports Huddle.

I listen for the games and some sports talk. WEEI’s local side (on FM only soon) has some funny bits.

Sports talk is big money. It’s a growing format. If anything reg. political talk is waning as advertisers (Bud, etc.) go for younger listeners and also a wider range of “demos”. Some people like politics. Even more like sports. People who care more about how the Jets played instead of the election.
Big money from advertisers. People do listen. (And talk radio in general, politics included, has lots of “time spent listening”—people stay tuned to a show because of the topic. And they’re loyal, they like listening to a talk or
sports talk station and come back time and time again.)
