That may be due in part to the fact that not all stations carry Hannity live, in favor of established local content that people know and like. WLS in Chicago is but one example.

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.
