I have no idea who Owens is, but Stern, new ideas or not, currently has the highest ratings of his career.
No one ever said their is not a market for filth but that doesn't make it new or creative.In fact just the opposite.Ron Owens was one of the origional dumb liberals in talk radio in the late 60's.Moved to the West Coast in mid 70"s.( only place he could survive on radio)
