Hi tightwadbob-

The current hyperlink in your post is dead. The best bet is to discard the closed parenthesis at the end of the link to get a true "John Batchelor" connection.

Sean Hannity is decent and his intentions are definitely good. Mark Levin immediately afterwards is truly outstanding. I was wondering why they had late rebroadcasts of Laura Ingraham's wonderful show rather than the familiar John Batchelor at 9:00 p.m...who strikes me as a very intelligent man.

Enjoyed John's show & hope he surfaces at a time & place where I can hear him...

You must be listening to some other Sean Hannity if you think all he does is stump for his books...he rarely mentions them, actually, noting they are both now out of print...he has valid weak points, as addressed by others in this thread, but your criticism is simply a canard...

You didn't bother to read my entire post. I'm talking about 2 years ago.

If dull, stale and boring is your kind of radio, I salute you. I'm not worthy.

Sean needs to own the show and use a syndicator to manage it. He'll make more money and nobody can tell him what to do.

[butternut_squash_bisque]

Now THAT would be a nice line-up.

[butternut_squash_bisque]

I usually listen to Levin, right after Savage on kfmb960, evenings, 10-12.

[BigSkyFreeper]

I like Boortz. I listen to him on the live web also, and from that same station, comes Rush, plus it's a FOX News Radio affiliate.

[airborne]

Either way, it's a near certainty that the conservative talker and FOX News Channel television host will be moving his base of radio operations somewhere else.

Air America??(sarcasm, and yet...) 8^)

[ajolympian2004]

Never. I know that a few minutes of commercials a few times an hour pays for the airtime and many great guests that Sean has on all the time. It's worth it.

"It sure is. Whenever their news comes on, I turn down the volume. They are so obviously biased that I refuse to listen to them."

I don't listen to network news at all. Down in San Anton we have Fox which is so much better.

[Coldwater Creek]

I really like Spencer. As soon as Rush is over we change to XM and Fox talk.

[pookie18]

You get him on delay, but at least you get him ;-) I get him live (6-8 pm) on WABC.

and your a great american.........stale and predictable

[mcg2000]

"You're a Great American" line was fine when used in a tongue and cheek way by Bill Cunningham @ WLW. Hannity's consistent exchanges with nearly every caller ("awww shucks. No. You're a great American" - please insert the voice of Wally Cleaver) has to be the most cornball Howdy Doody-ish radio on the dial.

I'd rather exercise my mind a bit and just listen to Rush. ;)

LOL You need to get to know me better. I hate to boast, but your certainly not talking about me.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Ah, nevermind, I didn't realize you were talking about Hannity. Yep, he uses that line alot. Tiresome. He can have the worst brand of liberal on his show and still call them a great American. Turns my stomach.

[CatoRenasci]

Batchelor was sometimes interesting, but his music and voice drove me nuts to the point I can barely listen to him. Hannity is a lightweight, well-meaning, but intellectually just not up to the drill. I sometimes wince when I hear him trying to 'have at it' with some liberal bozo, it's hard to tell who sounds dumber.

For my money, Rush, Laura Ingraham and Monica Crowley are the best conservative talk show hosts: intelligent, informative, witty, and entertaining. I haven't heard much of Hugh Hewitt, but I like his writing and will be listening to him on podcast.

Given that I work during the day, I rarely get more than snatches of Rush live, but I find subscribing to Rush 24/7 and listening to podcasts (which don't have commercials, last around 35 min for each 'hour' of the show, and are hence well worth paying for) to be the best way to stay up with it.

I think I heard Mr. Hannity has written a book.
