((sigh)) It would appear so, Mark. And this helps illustrate the fact that it is the owners, more than the reporters/editors/talk show hosts/whatever other radio performers, that determine what program/agenda/propaganda gets aired.
The owners aren't always 'dittoheads' (derogoratory name for conservatives), nor are they always 'commie leftists' (derogoratory name for liberals). I mean, look at Ted 'Mouth of the South' Turner.
But I kinda doubt that all-too-often used tirade being used here like "Hey! It's what the public wants. It's what the market calls for." Not quite, particularly when across the country, Air America is sprouting like weeds, and its popularity is growing right along with it. And you take a city like Atlanta? I mean, we're not talking Scottsboro, Ala. here. Atlanta has a LOT of people who like shows like The Regular Guys (rock n' roll with some of that raunch talk), 99X (leading edge rock that hasn't gone mainstream yet), a lot of NPR afficienadoes, etc. So they can't bring up the "All we are getting here is a bunch of red-state, staunch conservative, NASCAR loving truck drivers who have their very own Ann Coulter blow up doll--err I mean, 'action figure'." argument. <_<
Well, that's Yet One More Reason why internet radio is starting to supplant traditional radio nowadays. You can, with either a home internet connection, or more and more of internet radios on your I-pods, get around what will wind up being a short sighted decision by some Clear Communications knock-off.
And it'll be only a matter of time before traditional radio goes the way of AM 60's rock stations.
He wouldn’t say what he’s going to put there.
Probably either a Mix of Dubya's Greatest Quotes (gaffs), of Ann Coulter will finally get her own radio talk show. :wacko:
I'd vote for Glenn Beck, who we lost locally to Air America. He is a radio genius and terribly funny. He's pretty bad on TV though. I love his Bud commercial parodies "Real American A-holes".
There must have been a consideration than pecuniary to put on AA here. It's ratings hover near 0, seriously.
