"I am not speaking of someone like Bill Gates or Steve Jobs, I am talking about liberal talk shows that compete with the likes of Rush Limbaugh."

-------------------------->

Like Al Franken and Alec Baldwin.

Alec Baldwin's is so pitiful, he had to call his mother!

Wish I could find that Alec Baldwin tape...it is hysterical! Dolt.

"$36K a month ain't much of a payroll..."

------------------------------------->

Maybe they depend a lot on volunteers...especially on-air "talent".....

[MeshugeMikey]

the berkeley station had a big revolution a few years ago...where there was a near war over who was actually managing...aka RULING the station

Banana Republic Radio... at its best.

[hummingbird]

"...its troubles trickle down to us as well..."

--------------------->

I thought "trickle down" were dirty words.....

Problem with liberal talk radio is that most liberals and Dem voters are:

1. Dumb as rocks
2. In prison
3. Can’t speak English
4. Listen to music stations
5. Dumb as rocks

You can’t make it with that kind of audience

[GeronL]

wait... people still listen to music stations?

[Rodney Dangerfield]

The problem is that the media is already over-saturated with lefty viewpoints which is why lefty talk radio can’t support itself, yet conservative talk radio cleans up in the ratings and makes tons of cash.

Conservative talk radio is simply filling the void left by the MSM

[Yollopoliuhqui]

Conservative talk radio remains viable because its core demographic listens during their morning and evening commute, which is to say they work for a living.
