Sinking ships like NewsWeak have been predicting the demise of talk radio for decades.

Seattle's conservative talker market is so bad that they added BACK one of the oldest cons. talkers in the US, known as KVI570. (they dropped talk in favor of oldies and got trashed). They are back to two strong talk stations.

Follow the money, as they say....

[machogirl]

Indeed it is. An evil wind is blowing.

Cumulus also dropped ESPN and substituted CBS Sports in my market. SeeBS is a quantum worse. What is Cumulus doing, trying to out-Penny J C Penny? A race to the bottom? Making room for a resurgent Air America?

I’ve never trusted those Source brothers.

If she isn’t a slut, why is she demanding that the taxpayers subsidize her condom purchases? She must go through a lot of them if she can’t afford to buy them herself.

[Olog-hai]

Never mind, what kind of guys does she date that don’t supply their own? They certainly aren’t college student types, those dates of hers.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I sure would like to see that “high ranking” list of 48 advertisers made available.

The worst thing to happen to talk radio was the rationalization of all forms of media under just a few major corporate owners. For talk radio, this meant that a media format dominated by local hosts with really only one major national player (Rush Limbaugh) transformed into a format dominated by bland, amateurish syndicated hosts who are heard all over the country.

In my lifetime, the heyday of talk radio was that period from 1985 to around 1995. It's been all downhill since.

Hot Talk KSFO in San Francisco has risen to the #1 talk radio staion. In SF no less! They are credited with starting the successful Grey Davis recall (removing the liberal Grey Davis from office).

Yeah, and 99% of Iraqis voted for Saddam Hussein. Feh...

[dps.inspect]

48 of 50 is 96 of 100... which is to say, if four percent is enough to pay bills and pad the account who cares what the other 96 % are doing... exposure is the key... what other show claims to hold a 20mil listenership.

Fluke is just an activist who has been trying forever to challenge Catholic doctrine.

She succeeded.
I don’t think she gives a tinkers cuss about free BC.

It is the same with the Gay marriage ****.
They could care less about marriage. Civil union suits them fine, But the radicals want to over turn Church doctrine.

[matginzac]

So those advertisers who dropped Rush are just doing fine...like JCP?
I call *bullsh!t*....

[matginzac]

Yeah, and 109% of blacks in certain precincts voted for Obozo....
Oh, wait......

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

I think she’s a slut in spirit.

In practice, I think she has a hard time getting the time of day from most men... even the drunk ones.

[Cindy of Nashville]

Sandra Fluke is a slut!!!Who but a slut would screw around so much that they are going broke buying birth control needs. Rush is always right-on. And I looked at other stories on this Business Insider site, they are as liberal as they come.

[cookcounty]

Who are the 48? I want to know what not to buy.

[InterceptPoint]

Only Levin and a couple are worth listening to now

Possibly. I'll never know. Talk Radio drove me away when they went to their standard 50/50 format.

50% talk and 50% commercials, weather and traffic. Mostly commercials. Chopped up shows with no continuity. The web is better. FR is way better.

“Who are the 48? I want to know what not to buy.”

Mega Dittos!
