Sean overall does not do well unless he is on the flame thrower signal in the market. Why not as serious, the same is becoming true for Rush. IF you took Sean off WABC and placed him on WMCA, he would come no where close to the top of the ratings heap.
Look at Pittsburg and Minneapolis where Rush left KDKA and KSTP to go to an FM owned by Clear Channel. Both KDKA and KSTP thump the FMs. And while Rush's move to those stations did improve their ratings, they were nothing compared to whay he had on the flame thrower AMs. In Orlando, Rush's station is an also ran in the market.
At one time Rush could take a sick little AM and prop it up. No more.
Isn't Ann Compton another? I may have the name wrong, but the woman I'm thinking of sounds as though she is over intense.
lol
I love Paul Harvey.
Both Hugh and Michael Medved are light years ahead of Hannity IMHO. In Southern California it's Ingraham to Rush to Medved to Hewitt for me.
Monica Crowley is awesome and completely underrated for her knowledge and ability to entertain. I wish she had a better timeslot.
Laura Ingraham makes me howl with laughter, she is so witty...I would never want to cross her in a verbal duel!
Rush Limbaugh has been getting better and better over the years. When I first heard about his inner-ear problem I was practically in tears, it now appears he is better than ever.
With Bob Grant retired, I am very thankful that Mark Levin is on the air. I love his approach and he is another person who is as sharp as a razor when it comes to contemporary history. Excellent entertainment.

When i moved I couldn't get Michael Medved any more, because this station carries Savage instead. I really liked Medved.
Just trying to improve the online reading experience!
You are a great American!
We have Laura in that timeslot but it is a replay of the morning show. Still, it beats the alternative in that timeslot (ducks). Laura live at 3 would be an improvement. See the daily Laura thread for listen links.
Yeah, right! We are just full of and fed up with conservative talk radio!
Keep on drinkin' the kool-aid, Socialists!
Although I think Hannity is doing a valuable service-- I see him more as the conservative Oprah-- I can't listen to his show. He is a better path for a liberal to start on the path to conservative thought than most of the other national talk show hosts, but I just don't find him that compelling for three hours a day...
Good for him. I think he once worked at a construction job...or so I've heard.
