Kill the advertising revenue for talk radio and you kill the format.
The leftists couldn't attract advertising revenue, thus they died the appropriate "unloved" death. If there is trash coming out of the speaker, I'll tune elsewhere. If that doesn't solve the problem, I'll turn the radio off. I have no obligation to listen to anything or watch anything.
The United States is being extorted by Barack Obama. He loathes capitalism and he loathes prosperity. Will the loons who voted for him ever wake up???? The Catholic Bambi’s chanted “Yes, we can” at Notre Dame.
“Kill the advertising revenue for talk radio and you kill the format. “
Advertisers are not dumb. They’d figure out quickly which ads are effective and which not.
People who advertise tax relief (if you owe over one hundred thousand dollars call us NOW) and Lexus on a station catering to people with lower incomes and a small audience will notice the difference from advertising on Rush, even if the “numbers” say the “minority” station gets a million listeners per week, while Rush gets six listeners on a good day.
They can “enhance” the numbers to make it look like the social justice they want, but it is actual listeners who buy the advertised product, closing the loop with results. Arbitron helps close the loop, saving time, money, and lowering risk.
