It says Rush is on two channels maybe that divides the ratings. I wouldn't take Missoula as a conservative bastion with a college there.
You got a point about the college, but I don't think they're near as liberal up there. I don't know the student base but I'd think they'd be drawing mostly from those states.
That's an understatement.
Missoula is sort of a hippy enclave. The rest of the state kind of thumbs its nose in their general direction. With that said, it's less batty than some other college town that I can think of.
I haven't been in radio in 15 years, but what is an Eastlan survey anyway? Perhaps the station commissioned its own survey.
