I agree, RG. I do still like Hannity, but he does seem to use the same guests over and over. I think the other reason I got a little bored with him is that he gets on some ‘talking points’ and seems to repeat them daily for a week or so. In thinking about that now, perhaps that’s not such a bad thing - many listeners of his show don’t read FR and aren’t as ‘intune’ to the happenings of the day as we are.
I remember the Clintoon years when I wanted to throw my slipper at the TV every time Ann Lewis or others came on - they kept repeating the same thing over and over (usually it included something like: ‘he wants to get back to work for the American people’). They repeated the lines enough, people started believing them. At least Hannity uses conservative talking points, and maybe by repeating them, people will finally wake up and get the message.
He's in prime time drive and than repeated from 6-9 PM(Eastern) in many markets as well. Lots of his listeners tune in while driving on their way home for 15-30 minutes.If you want to bring everyone on board you have to repeat over and over ad-nausem.
The only one who can do that without killing the three hour audience is Rush. It took him years to figure out how to do it. Not everyone of the rest will be so lucky.
I think the deliberate purpose of this is, he's on during drive-time when people are going home from work, maybe stopping at the store on the way.
Anyone who only catches a half hour of the show will probably get the jist of his message, sort of like listening to an all news station...it just keeps repeating.
In this case, it's a combination of news and opinion. You might well get bored inside of three hours.
