Whenever conservative talk show hosts go on leave it’s been for only a week or two at the most. For so many of them to be absent from their own shows for an extended period of time, at the same time, strikes me as highly suspect. This is not a coincidence.
Have any other Freepers noticed other conservative talk show hosts being absent for an unusually long period of time? Do any of you Freepers have any intel as to why or what’s going on?

Guess you missed the “lyin’ king” sayin’ we had to stop listening to those talking heads on the radio. Also, you must have missed the part about “if you don’t stop listening, we’ll make sure there’s nobody to listen to”. “I’m really good at killing people.”
Jim Quinn, from the “Quinn & Rose” show syndicated out of Pittsburgh, also left unexpectedly in the last week. My parents still live in the area (and are big fans), and according to them, say that he “couldn’t reach some kind of deal” with the radio station.
Michael Savage fought to leave Talk Radio Network and now is syndicated by Cumulus.
Talk Radio Network is going through problems. Ingraham also fled.

>>The meltdown continues. This morning Tom Taylor Now reports that TRN’s Mark Masters is now suing host Jerry Doyle for breach of contract ...Even if TRN manages to survive, who in the world would be so masochistic as to want to work for them?

Rick-the-talk-show-host from “Domestic Enemies the Reconquista” for reals? ping.
They have pretty much disappeared from Sirius/xm as well.
Rumor is that Clear Channel is self-censoring to avoid the wrath of the FCC.
Do you receive 104.1 the Truth (FM)? A little silliness due to FM format, but very compelling talk and excellent callers as a rule.
I am in Wisconsin, but I listen online (drive time show host James T. Harris is a Wisconsin transplant). The morning guy is very good as well, IMHO.
We still have Laura Ingraham, Rush, of course, Hannity, Mark Levin. I don’t know of the local ones.
Poof! The entire station is off the air, and has been for weeks. The station's website looks the same as it did before. There is no mention of why they're off the air. Very odd.
Michael Medved and Hugh Hewitt are still on the air every day.
For example, on big stations at night (when I can get them):
WPHT, Philadelphia -- Rich Zeoli, J.D. Hayworth (J.D. as a fill-in), Hannity.
WJR, Detroit -- Mark Levin
WBZ, Boston -- Dan Ray
WBT, Charlotte -- Andy Dean
WABC, New York -- Savage.
The Obama government is "nudging" talk radio into a self-imposed "fairness doctrine." IMO it is using phony experts to advise talk radio owners that the public is tired of "hyper-partisan" political and national issues talk.
For example Hannity is being replaced by Michael Savage starting in January. Here's why . . . Cumulus will promote personalities like Michael Savage, who . . . has tempered his performance amid concerns over being hyper-partisan to a more populist presentation, using softer subjects and more humor.
Market forces.
Our FM “conservative” talk station plays nothing but Mexican oompah pah music now.
AM is beyond redemption. Even if one has a such a desire, Limbaugh has been gone for ages.
But who under 65 listens to radio any more?
Paid off? If conservatives are the enemy of the Federal government, as DHS has stated, the easiest way to beat your enemy is to pay them off. Hitler paid off/made deals with French generals (Marshal Petain), the US government paid off Iraqi generals to stand down.
I’m still getting Beck, Rush, Hannity and then Levin. Savage comes on after Levin but I’m not listening to radio at that time.
