I give it six months.

Yeah, that's about right. If they really program 14 hours a day, it'll take about six months for half the hosts to be revealed as closet gays, pedophiles, cokeheads, or peewee herman's. If Alan Colmes is smart he'll stay away from this catastrophe-about-to-happen. (Even though he definitely has a face for radio.)

I haven't heard how they plan to set up the network of stations needed to have their 14 hours of programming actually reach the airwaves. There are a limited number of FCC licenses available and what exactly is the plan to persuade (or coerce) station owners to carry their crap?

Maybe they think dozens or hundreds of stations are waiting breathlessly to carry hours and hours of programming which it appears very few people want to listen to. Do they expect NPR is going to carry it? If so, that network and its stations can kiss their federal funding goodbye.

If they have thought this through (a real stretch, I admit) the radio network or independent stations that will carry it had better prepare for a barrage from conservatives that will make the London Blitz look like a light rain.
