Perhaps, but I can’t help but think that people trapped in cars is a fertile market. Radio can work that market, TV can’t. Well, it can, but it would cause accidents.

It’s very likely that TV in cars already does cause auto accidents.
In MOST states, having a display within view of the driver that shows video while the vehicle is in motion is illegal.
IOW, this is legal in certain states, at least as recently as in year 2020.

Rush hosted a midday show that was broadcast at 12:00 noon on the east coast and 3:00 PM in California. That schedule is almost the worst time for a show that is broadcast through a medium (radio) where the business is built around listeners who commute to and from work in a car. Morning and evening “drive time” slots are the prime market for radio.

And yet Rush made it work — tremendously well. He appealed to a non-traditional radio demographic comprised heavily of retirees and people in small businesses who could listen while they worked.
