I’ve been listening on WHYN 560 out of Springfield. So far, no Sox. Who the hell do these station managers think they’re pleasing? It ain’t talk radio fans, which I imagine make up 95% of the listenership. BTW, Howie kicks Hannity’s sorry butt.
I can do without Monday's TV raves from whatshisname, and the Death Pool is tepid, but the rest is on target. Howie puts down Lib-callers so bad—better even than Steve Malzberg does in election years.
Hannity is predictable and repetitious, but his WABC "Lib" and "Independant" audience may need that. Friendship with former NYC Mayor Koch may prove to be a big longterm bonus. NYC regulars (Giuliani, Rangel, etc) give perspective not heard elsewhere.
Nobody does a better Bill Clinton impression than Rush, though.
Anyway, I see "creeping sportscasting" as an indicator of dropping vigilance—and we know about THAT!
