P.S. I have it on good authority that Limbaugh is hemorrhaging advertisers in the TOP 2 markets. In fact, on the #1 talk radio station in America, they're GIVING away spots 9a-noon.
Old and Broke
In a recent article in the Hollywood Reporter, the future of talk radio is in doubt. Nearly a third of it's audience are age 65 and above, while the hosts themselves have been AARP eligible or soon will be. (new comer in the LA market,Tim Conway Jr is 48) while at the same time, pay for new...
Do some research Michael!! Lazy lazy lazy! Tim Conway Jr has been ON THE AIR in Los Angeles for 15 years!!
BTW- The "up and comers" all have horrible ratings. And one of the members of that list is free if you pay for Limbaugh. Hardly a ringing endorsement. Talk radio on AM is dying for sure, but compelling people, talking, is still relevant. The practitioners just need to embrace social media and own the show.

For FUCK sake! They had ALL week to edit down ONE......ONE......ONE hour of radio! You should HEAR their outtakes! For 25 years the smartest audience in radio was bamboozled by these two! Recycled jokes, "got your nose" comedy...jesus it was like Ron and Dong for PhD's!!
Click and Clack to retire
"Click and Clack," the mechanics-turned-comedians who launched one of the most unlikely -- and most beloved -- talk shows in radio history, have decided that 35 years at the wheel is enough. Brothers Tom and Ray Magliozzi (pictured at left) announced Thursday afternoon that they will no longer ...
I would nominate Don O'Neil for honorable mention. As of Wednesday 25 April 2012, he was unaware that John McCain is a former POW. As he was clumsily lurching towards a punchline about McCain doinking Filipino hookers circa 1967, his slurring enabler pointed out that McCain was, literally, otherwise detained ("one of those POW guys").
The most out of touch man in America.
We usually reserve this for the likes of Dori Monson, but since Herr Dori has been on his best behavior promoting driver's ed videos on his show, we thought we'd scan around the dial and see what the other dullards were opining about. It seems the poor and underfed according to Sea...
.....OK...if we're all done hurling the invective.
I would submit, and history is my guide, that polarity in printed media was the NORM throughout our history. To wit: "Republican" newspapers and "Democratic" newspapers existed in every city across this country. You're all aware of this right?
Right wingers believe Obama wasn't born here, and Libtards believe thrownig my money at poor people does them a favor. What's so different about basic cable in 2011, versus newspapers 100 years ago?
Nothing.
Steve jobs to rupert murdoch: "you've cast your lot with the destructive people."
Steve Jobs, told Rupert Murdoch that his Fox News Channel, (like a tornadoes or venereal diseases) are a "destructive force in our society." Poynter found some blunt talk from Jobs about FNC in Walter Isaacson's new book. Isaacson writes that, after speaking at a News Corp retreat, Jobs told Mu...
"I......live in the Seattle area.....yet I BROADCAST in Los Angeles."
Gene "Bean" Baxter of the #1 Kevin and Bean Show 106.7 KROQ FM.
BTW- the demo follows the content. The myth of "the kids don't listen" is disspelled by the Adam Carolla Show's page views.
And have you noticed that there's a paucity of talk radio in Seattle anymore?
We keep getting a commenter named 'curious' who asks, ". . .and this has what to do with talk radio?" Must we say it again? local talk radio, interest of which is what brought us to found this blog almost seven (7!) years ago, has almost disappeared from the Seattle market. Foremost in the mark...
In medium/small markets, you're not making money if you're not in the top 3.
Personally, Seattle could use a dose of John and Ken or Petros and Money.
So far, so good: clear channel's rolling blood bath hasn't hit seattle
The corporatization of radio is marching along, as the piglomerate Clear Channel dries up local programming and replaces it with their own, syndicated, mostly right-wing, talkers. The company had a meeting in Atlanta Oct. 10 & 11 with regional managers, and handed out flash drives to each one...
OK, I'll bite. For argument sake...What, and be specific please, is Fox destroying? (Remember, Jobs censored iTunes and the App Store)

His presence in Damascus during this murder season is ENOUGH reason to question his rational abilities. The longer-form video isn't exactly exculpatory. How naive is Kucinich? He's clearly never met an evil man in his life. (the photo at left was one of my many meetings with evil men)
Today's the day: beck leaves fox news
After a long, disgraceful, reckless, yet lucrative run at Fox News, emo-rad Glenn Beck signs off for the last time from Fox News today. In his say-anything-to-get-his-name-in-the-papers strategy, he managed to even offend the gargoyles at FNS: Roger Aisles and Rupert Murdoch. That's saying some...
Oh yeah, the real reason I'm here today is to harangue anyone who ever had a kind word to say about Dennis Kucinich. http://dailycaller.com/2011/06/30/thedc-exclusive-rep-kucinich-praises-syrian-dictator-on-syrian-television-video/
He is, and has always been, a useful idiot for evil men. Bashir Assad is just the latest. Consider yourselves harangue...ed.

It was lucrative to Beck, not to Fox. How many gold-schleppers are out there? Do they ALL buy time at 2pm PST? You live by hyperbole, you die by hyperbole. It's tough to backstroke from where he's ventured. I'm still surprised (as a former Salt Lake City dweller)that NO ONE has detected the thinly veiled LDS dogma in his show! People who convert to any religion during adulthood (or at anytime) peg out my bullshitometer. Replace one addiction for another. Anyhoo, he's got his lottery ticket. He spun top 40 while I went to Desert Storm. He played Adult Contemporary when I went to Bosnia. He thumped his chest on a nationwide show when I lost hearing and gained shrapnel in SadrFuckingCity. Then I get back and find out that HE'S a patriot and I'm restarting my career. Let's all be honest, we all remember these precocious 12 year olds who did "magic shows" for the adults. They become asshats or reinvent themselves as flag-wavers. The one in my neighborhood plays violin and reminds you that he's "gifted." Belittle it if you will, but the socialization that happened while binge-drinking in Pullman from 1982-87 made me someone you can have a beer with. Entertaining adults instead of playing with kids your age makes you a dork or worse: Rusty Humphries.

Once again Hood, you are too insouciant for the room! Am I missing something.....? How does this make him a 1st Amendment hero? Confessing a crime is taking a stand for the 1st Amendment?
Discuss.
We're pretty cool, but here's a real 1st amendment hero
BlatherWatch has skittered bravely along the ragged edges of our blessed First Amendment, but we ain't shit compared to Antonio Vargas, 30, a Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist who came out this week as an undocumented immigrant in a detailed story to be published on Sunday in a New York Times...
Stewart had overused his not-so-artful rhetorical dodge. "I'm a comedian," would mean something, if he started his show with that disclaimer. Unfortunately, his audience thinks they're watching news. Stewart won't admit it, but he's responsible for that.
James.....it's adolF. Unless you're searching for an excellent meat tenderizer.
'Are you insane?' jon stewart debates 'media bias' with fox host chris wallace.
We once respected Chris Wallace who was once a real newsman... We're now pretty sure that he's been transformed by Roger Aisles into an unblinking golem fashioned from old news stories murdered by Sean Hannity and Billo Reilly.
for the final time..do NOT go to www.lemonparty.org it is NOT Jim McDermott. I wash my hands of the entire affair.
Our thoughts exactly...
From Wednesday last: LAWRENCE O’DONNELL: Republicans have a much tougher time surviving so-called sex scandals because they spend so much time preaching against the kind of behavior they then get caught doing themselves. So Republican careers die this way because the politician stands convicted...
ahhhh... You actually think Dominique Strauss-Kahn is the exception? Clearly you've not spent much time in France. Yet you perpetuate the "sophisticated European" stereotype. And for the final time, it's not the Clinton hummer or Weiner's wiener....it's the LYING about it under oath or to Wolf Blitzer.

The way Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer are distancing themselves, it's like they want to play Hide The Weiner.
Your thoughts?

Joanie, I'll rephrase my point more simply, in deference to you. You derided me for using a generality, then you engaged in generalities to bemoan our intolerance of liars.
Don't use the old "What about the ACORN sting!" as a dodge.
Stay on the Weiner.

Politicians don't lie about sex because WE are unsophisticated and ignorant. Many of them do it because they have been career sociopaths since Junior High. Others are simply asshats. There is nothing "sophisticated" about texting your wood (<----tawdry!) to a coed.
ME "labeling all those people?" What about you 20 minutes ago?
"Oh, I guess I have to be the one to say it: politicians lie about sex because Americans are so unsophisticated and ignorant. Simply put."
MY sophistication is debatable, but I am not ignorant. So, spare the lecture. Without broad brushes, there'd be no Blatherwatch.

Oh yeah, I don't have a "blog name." I sign in with a Twitter account. The Dark Secret Place can be heard every Sunday on KFI AM 640. Or you can grab it on iTunes. Maybe I should go back to Scrilla?

I dunno .."Our electorate is neither as sophisticated nor intelligent as Europeans." What am I missing?
That "sophistication" is why Strauss-Kahn wasn't exposed for 30 years. Drunk driving used to be funny as well. Maybe you should tell Lawrence (and by extension Michael) to refrain from the broad brush as well. But then again, sometimes stereotypes reinforce themselves. (i.e. Weiner's glee about Jewish women and oral sex)

So you admire a country if it's politicians' occasional maid-rapes are snickered at? How sophisticated. Tray sheek!

O'Donnell (and by extenson Hood) clumsily evades the right and wrong of this. Will the oh-so-tolerant voters of NY re-elect him? That's their bidness. Of COURSE they'll re-elect him! Is he a perverted betrayer?....Yyyyyyyes. But more importantly, even Weiner doesn't agree with O'Donnell (and by extension Hood) because he could've said "yeah, it's me," and it would've been over last week. But he LIED, so he must think it IS a big deal to his constituents Lawrence! (and by extension Michael). Republicans are brought down by sex, Democrats by tax-evasion. We know they all do it. What about the lying Michael (and by extension Lawrence).
The other sex act exposed by Weinergate is the now Pro Forma fealty to a lefty media favorite. At least Weiner literally hangs to the left.

i meant lemonparty.org
do NOT go there! it's not McDermott.
Anthony, anthony, anthony...
Far be it from us, with our checkered past with women of the opposite sex, to find ground high enough to chastise a younger man for what he does with his dick, but all we can say to Anthony Weiner is: Sweet jesus, man. How stupid can you get? Erect penii have no conscience and no common sense,...
MamaCoiler,
do NOT go to lemonparty.com to see Jim McDermott. It is NOT him! I repeat, NOT him.
