"... Think of it as NPR on steroids. While conservatives tend to be men with Manilow in their turntable, the new network will hope to plug into the liberal leaning college co-ed crowd ..."

Total fantasy. I remember being a nonaware college student. It is not a natural state of life. If you are the serious type, all you think about are your grades and preparing for your future. During your lunchtime you either study or seek a few moments relief by listening to some music.

If you are the party type, politics is the furthest thing from your mind - beer, clubbing, and drugs are where your thoughts are.

There will be a few sincere leftists who will think such a network is the greatest thing since sliced bread. But as Donahue found, they can't float a network.

Let me offer another substrata of college life. One that may be unique to God's Country (the South)...

There were a bunch of us that were partiers, but despised the left-wing activists that we felt were what was wrong with the campus and the country. Even went so far as lobbing baloons filled with foul smelling substances into thier gatherings. We had just discovered Rush, and he was telling us How Things Ought to Be. Every day we would exit class, partake our chemical of choice, and listen to Rush. I grew up to be a pretty good conservative. So there are some right wing college kids out there, they just don't make much noise.

Yep. I was a graduate student from 1979-1981. I vaguely remember that there was a hostage crisis going on. I vaguely remember a guy named Reagan getting elected, but I was too busy attending seminars led by Old White Men and Women whose real color was RED to give much of a rip about what was happening in the real world at the time....
