I think we need a financial analyst with radio network sector focus to look at what they need in audience to break even, given what was paid for the stations and what the purchased time costs. Then a refined estimate of when they collapse can be issued after each quarterly Arbitron ratings book.

common tator is a former radio station owner, host & still has his fingers "in the business".. maybe he can comment????

I don't think this is an economic venture. Anyone who looked at the numbers knows that Alan Combs has bombed before. Why would they try him again? Liberal talk radio has failed many times.

I think when this attempt gnerates no audience or influence.... in a year or so ... the investors will pull the plug.

The Democrat rank and file are not going to listen to talk radio. The typical Democratic voter pays no attention to news and commentary other than blood and guts coverage. If it don't bleed they are not going to watch or hear it.

Working class Democrats put their fate in the hands of the Democratic leaders. The ordindary democart doesn't try to control his own political future, he depends on liberal leaders to do that for them.

It is like puting on a show on how to do surgery. Most of us would not watch it. If we need surgery we let a doctor make the decision and do the operation.

Rank and file Democrats turn their political future over to the Democratic political "doctors" the way we turn health care over to medical doctors.

Rank and File Democrats will not watch or listen to political broadcasting. When this garbage generates no ratings, and no buzz the investors will quitely pull the plug.

Unless some sugar Daddies pick up the tab, it is not going to last long.
