This is an annual list of the most influential talk show hosts on radio in America. Notice they are listed alphabetically, not ranked in order of importance or influence.

Out of these 100, I've heard at least 30 of them, about 15-20 enough to be a reasonable judge of their show.

My favorites from this list are Phil Valentine, Michael Medved, Rush, and Laura Ingraham (I don't get to hear her often, though).

Did your favorites make the list?

Click here for the list, but be prepared for a wait as it may take a while to load.

No Larry Elder, no Al Rantel, no Hugh Hewitt.

But they did put Phil Hendrie on the list, so they're not completely lame.

Not sure if they are listed in order, but Jerry was at the top of the list.

Al Franken and Alan Colmes don't count as liberals in your book?

Stephanie Miller is a left-wing lib. She's on the list. The John and Jeff Show is there, and IIRC, they're typical LA-liberal.

It's not my book but the MSM book. I don't know what progressive is when talking about liberals and conservatives. I think conservatives are more progressive than liberals but that is not the way the MSM frames their agenda.

This list is idiotic. First of all, it excludes Steve Malzberg and includes Lionel! Moreover it calls Lionel "impossible to categorize politically"??? HAHAHA! do they not know how to spell "Left-wing"?

Wow. Until a recent shift of Phil Hendrie to their sister station, KFI here in So Cal had their entire day & evening lineup in the TALKERS100!

THere are two that I like that didn't make the list:

Hugh Hewitt and Dennis Prager

I have a hard to seeing Jim Rome on the list.

I love sports talk shows, but his is NOT good!!

I'm with you guys, the list is deficient without Dennis Praeger.

And I agree about Jim Rome. He's on a station that I listen to a lot, but I go to great lengths to avoid hearing even one minute of him. I only hope his days in this area are numbered.

Hugh Hewitt's absence is probably the biggest surprise of all to me. I had the impression that he was fairly well known nationally.
