Actually, I've gotten hooked on Larry Elder one KNEW 910 AM 4-7. He recently converted to the GOP, and his shows are generally excellent.
My thoughts exactly. Now that he's syndicated he can probably demand more $$$. Hmmm. Who called who's bluff?
Thanks for the tip on 910. I'll check it out.
Cheers, CC
I think the on-air schedule gives us our answer. Radio is about dollars, which you knew, and if the dollars going out did not justify the dollars coming in, changes are made. It's also possible there's been a "drop-off" in new listenership during Savage's show. One of the traffic watch pilots here is EXTREMELY conservative, and was a huge Savage fan for about a year. Bought several copies of the book, autographed, gave them as gifts, had animated discussions with the other pilots (one very socialist, unfortunately, which is a bad trait for a reality-based pilot), etc.
When we spoke a few weeks ago, he had stopped listening as long, and as frequently (both sources of gold in ratings) because after he gets through the issues at the top of the hour, he'd heard it all before, and didn't invest the time. He still agrees with him a lot, but doesn't spend that kind of time plugged into his show.
Just a guess...
I'm enjoying them. I alternate b/w Lee and Mel on KSFO and Armstrong & Getty on 910 in the morning, depending on my mood and the topics. Glenn Beck is on 10-1, which is when I get most of my transcription done and don't listen to the radio. Neal Boortz is 1-4 - he's very interesting as well (and a pilot, which interests me), and then Larry Elder at 4. I don't listen to Phil Hendries at 7 - I'll turn to Brian Wilson instead.
Larry is an extremely intelligent, savvy, and reasonable guy, and will do a LOT to bring the "victicrat structure" to its knees. I believe he's considering running for public office. I'd vote for him in a minute.
Let me know what you think! Cheers, CC
