I'll have to say I disagree with the line of thinking that the
liberal talk radio bankruptcy was a result of not being on the right
side of the present political situation. Many of the conservative
shows have been through numerous changes of political parties and are
surviving. Some very nicely. This fact alone disproves that
hypothesis. The major key to radio success is still advertising money
no matter what the format. Advertising money follows listenership.
Unfortunately, the listenership numbers must not have been there for
the advertising money. Gov't money alone couldn't entirely support a
liberal format with the hugh numbers necessary for the needed impact.
Perhaps shows proclaiming the liberal message as their main topic are
not worth hearing. As an aside, Imus and Stern both seem to proclaim
liberal leanings, and are very successful. Their main thrust though
is more of a bawdy /sexual nature. Not much in the way of left
leaning politics. Again liberal/socialistic/ communistic drivel must
not have as much following as a very vocal minority would have us
believing.

Also, to rub our hands in glee when the $ starts flowing to a group
of people (the libs/socialist/communists)that the general public does
not want to hear/ give listenership support is ridiculous and
downright scary.
