Rush is setting the standard for the future by video broadcasting his show as well as providing audio in other formats too. FR creates threads in association with his show and others of popular interest. There will come a time in the near future when Rush and others combine the threads and the audio/video. This is where advertising will find a new area of profit.

What WBAL has done is sacrifice ratings and expense in the hope that with a lower operating budget the advertising will provide a profit. I don't think this idea would be considered forward thinking. It will be interesting to see how much of their audience disappears and what that means to the shows that went before and after Rush.

you have no idea how soon this will all start to be......

I cannot say more than that at this time... but you are very correct...

ANother Baltimore station, 680AM had Rush, but lost it because they refused to censure a lib host who was trashing Rush, and she was on just before his show. That station has nearly gone into obscurity, and probably could be purchased at firesale prices right now. WHen they had Rush, they were the top station.
