The Penninsula Press Club is reporting that Rodgers retired.

No. He was fired for not being pro-Muslim.

Thank you for alerting me to this.

I've been saying for years that there was a plot to dismantle conservative talk radio. This seals the deal for me.

Conservative Melanie Morgan Cut from KSFO Radio.

NEWS FLASH: Melanie Morgan Cut from KSFO 560 AM - San Francisco

And finally, a paraphrasing of a much earlier (but long forgotten) post on this issue when ABC Radio was first broken up.

However, my larger point is still that the ABCRadio network sale would lead to the dismantling of conservative talk radio. It seems that ABCRadio was the birthing ground of conservative talk radio, given that Limbaugh started out at WABC, and Hannity and Levin are located there, too.

Breaking up the ABCRadio network is a clever way to hasten the demise of conservative talk radio, if it's not possible to do it via the Fairness Doctrine.

Consider this plan:

1. Destroy the affiliate network. (Done)
2. Eliminate local talk radio. (In Progress) This begins the process of de-linking the listener to his/her local station and local issues.
3. Replace local talk radio with nationally syndicated talk radio, but at non-live times. (Also in progress). If only the local origin of a nationally syndicated show is getting the live feed, then the people in other locations, either when driving or elsewhere, will not be able to participate because the shows will have ended by the time they get to listen. This results in people becoming less interested in conservative talk radio as a whole.

Other talk-radio personalities better start paying attention to the business side of things, because the Fariness Doctrine is not their bogeyman right now. Liberals are using their money to buy up the media outlets and then shutting down right-wing talk radio.
