I listen to NPR and the BBC news. I often thank goodness for both. [8D]

NPR anyone?

Content, entertainment value, and talent are all major areas of what drives Arbitrons and Nielson's and therefore ad revenue for talk and information programming in broadcast media.  Not management, or direction.

If there were anything sustainable about AA, it would have more wide-spread distribution and  would be more solvent due to more ad revenue.  That has more to do with their financial problems.  If it would have been a runaway hit, there is little Evan Cohen could have done to efff it up.  There have got to be enough libruls in the Tulsa area to support at least a .3 market share or whatever the lowest rated Spanish station is in this market.

I think I will write an essay now about how liberalism is dead because Air America is still teetering on the brink of extinction while Limbaugh, Hannity, O'Reilly, and Savage continue to prosper.  [:o)]

There is no doubt that the wave of ideas that Ronald Reagan represented no longer has the ring of truth.  This era, marked by deficits, exploding military budgets and an attack on privacy, has never been conservative.  Reagan and his followers were and are radical social activists.  Has it worn thin.  D*** straight.  Do we have anything other than discontent to replace it?  No.  We need a leader who can sense and then put into words the evolving new consensus.
