Read the full report (PDF)
Despite the dramatic expansion of viewing and listening options for consumers today, traditional radio remains one of the most widely used media formats in America. Arbitron, the national radio ratings company, reports that more than 90 percent of Americans ages 12 or older listen to radio each week, “a higher penetration than television, magazines, newspapers, or the Internet.” Although listening hours have declined slightly in recent years, Americans listened on average to 19 hours of radio per week in 2006.
Among radio formats, the combined news/talk format (which includes news/talk/information and talk/personality) leads all others in terms of the total number of stations per format and trails only country music in terms of national audience share. Through more than 1,700 stations across the nation, the combined news/talk format is estimated to reach more than 50 million listeners each week.

“Dump this if it is a duplicate.”

Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech.

It definitely wouldn’t, but since when did government care about that?

Problem is you have a President who appoints establishment types to the Court who uphold political efforts that the establishment supports.
The genie is out of the bottle. There is no silencing us now.
"There ought to be limits to freedom"

Hannity was on it today. As many others, I don’t listen to him because of his 3 hr concert promotions and Cadillac infomercials. However, he is right on the money that this could alter the face of free speech as we know it. I’m sick of the whole thing. Conservatives need to take the streets and protest just as in 2000. The libs are flapping their jaws via intimidation. It’s high time we shout louder. The Great Oz has spoken.
Oh PLEASE TRY AND OUTLAW TALK RADIO! This will be ever so much fun!
If the left got what it wanted, we wouldn’t be listening to Rush Limbaugh anymore. When you start losing your basic human rights, that’s the point when you stop voting and start shooting.
Luckily, all of the libs are unarmed.
Should be: "There ought to be limits to freedom"
Outstanding FReeper comments! BUMP!
