  So the arbitron ratings were released this week for talk show hosts. This was the first release since Airhead America began broadcasting. Franken (the one who looks like a shriveled mr potato head) said a few months ago that he was urlLink beating Rush Limbaugh there . The "we beat Rush" BS was played over and over on many a liberal website. It's New York City for crying out loud.
By sheer number they should beat Limbaugh. But when Drudge posted the real numbers today... oops. Not only did they have half the audience of Rush in NYC on average, but they steadily dropped listeners each month (about a 25% audience drop each month). Not good news. Why does their formula not work? 1. Because they use comedians. Who are the successful conservative radio show hosts?
Rush, Boortz, Hannity, Ingraham, Savage, etc. These are not comedians. Airhead Radio is trying to combat this with a washed-up SNL character who isn't that funny, a washed up comedienne who was never funny (truth about cats and dogs? ) a rapper, and a hyperventalating blond based in Palm Beach County. The last one (Rhodes) I get the "pleasure" of hearing down here in South Florida. After the 2000 election she actually blamed radio stations for causing the election to go Bush's way because no one aired her show in Florida. Only Palm Beach County which went heavily democratic because of her show. If only she was aired in Pensacola! Hey dumbo, Palm Beach was heavily democratic before you and will be long after you leave (unfortunately) so get over yourself.
Thanks. Their other problem is sucky topics and guests. A urlLink quick look at their line-up for Fridays shows that "W's professor Yoshi Tsurumi from Yale, who will help us analyze the tepid academic output of the Lesser Bush. " Exciting... ::yawn:: The only liberal on the radio who isn't just flat out moronic is Alan Colmes...
