Ping!

This really doesn't tell me anything but that the author is getting desperate for listeners, and he seems to be envious of the more famous talk hosts.

Talk radio secrets revealed Bryan Hyde hosts a talk radio show each weekday on 590 AM KSUB.

I wonder why they wanted to keep it a secret.[/sarc]

[B.O. Plenty]

I don't think Bryan Hyde has ever listened to anyone except himself.

[Tenacious 1]

Uuuhm. Who's Brian Hyde? And what the hell am I suppose to do with this information, call his show and tell him I read it?

I feel tricked into wasting my time for reading this.

Rush Limbaugh on the other hand will feign confusion at your point, followed by condescension...

I'm not sure I understand, but this writer is an idiot.

Seriously, if all the "intellgent liberals" are screened out, explain DU?

[DManA]

Rush makes no bones about it. He brags that the role of the caller is to make the host look good.

[Publius6961]

This is an earth-shaking revelation?
Give me a break!

Any habitual talk-radio listener could have written that article.

[BigSkyFreeper]

His last three paragraphs basically fall in line with the most successful radio hosts in the business, which basically is, "have a point and stick to it".

These are secrets? This article is simply stating the obvious.

These are only SOME of the principles one should use during ANY debate.

I have been on the air with a local host, Ron Smith on WBAL, twice. The first time I had a lot of detailed information to correct a lot of misinformed bloviating by other callers about changes to bankruptcy law. The second time, I asked him to clarify a point and then politely disagreed with him (can not remember the topic).

One good trick he used the first time was to talk to me off the air during a commercial break BEFORE I was on the air. That way, he was able to hold up his end of the discussion much better.

Copy my tag line and add the rest (=/20060227/OPINION02/602270319/1014) of the article link you had in the original thread. Skip all ( & ).

[Paulus Invictus]

Bryan Hyde is a local talk show guy I try to avoid because he cannot make up his mind whether he's a conservative or a libertarian. He leans a bit left in this rightest neighborhood, but now and then he gets it right.

[Calvin Locke]

People should just call Drudge. Drudge will generally let them get whatever their stupid point on the air.

Heck, he even lets E. Frank on, and that other caller that calls only to complain that everybody else has blacklisted him.

Sometimes, Drudge just has the screener line them up without screening.

[mysterio]

To tell you the truth, the "call in" portions of the major shows are almost unlistenable, especially Hannity's. Mostly just people calling in to tell them how right they are or how much they like the damned show.

[Flavius Josephus]

Rush doesn't call people names, unless you consider "liberal" to be an insult, which many do.

One might note that with Savage, bringer down of death and destruction, oftentimes he doesn't have any calls. That's probably perfectly ok with him.
