So now conservative talk radio is such a flash in the pan that it’s going to die of old age?
Doing better than liberal talk which has flopped twice in BOSTON. (The first time Clear Channel ran it on 1200 and 1430 with Franken, Steph. Miller, and the rest of Air America. It ran from Oct of 04 till Dec of 06. Franken did his show from Boston election week of ‘04 expecting a big huge party as “President Kerry” got elected (a sure thing, no?) Er, not to be. The hosts all sounded very down when W got back in. They sounded like people who were woken up in the middle of the night by a phone call. Then again they always did...)
I was an am talk show host until 2003. Local station in Richmond VA. They cut my pay. Fired me and have since hired 4 different hosts in the same pm drive spot in the last 9 years. Average salary 40K. Hard to survive making that.
