I gotta disagree on this one. Ronn Owens of KGO (San Francisco) is the only major-market talk show host that is capable of beating Limbaugh head-to-head.
I haven't seen the latest Arbitron book numbers, but the last time that Rush said he was #1 in San Francisco was in January 2000.
Now KGO has a flamboyant gay guy weekend evenings, "Karel." He's Bernie Ward with a squeaky voice, if you can imagine that.
Gee, Rush NOT the biggest voice in EssEff. Who'da thunk it? Part of this has to do with the fact that Owens is on a 50K blowtorch, KGO 810, while Rush is on KSFO, which I think is 5K or 10K max (the frequency, 560, is mandated lower wattage by the FCC). So there are pockets in the area where you just can't hear KSFO but KGO comes BLASTING through. Of course, a larger part has to do with the fact that we are Moonbat Central over on the left side of the Bay.
