Re: Talk Radio~Can I Get it In Hawaii?
In the Hawaii market I think most people are not very interested in talk radio as all of the music stations garner consistent higher ratings than most of the talk stations in town. Still, the talk stations can sell themselves on certain demographics that may be interested in their content.
In other markets a few talk stations are in the overall top 10.
Perhaps the left side is rather new to the format and needs to market themselves better.... more compelling personalities or something is needed. Years ago Larry King used to be the ruler of the night time airwaves. After he went to TV, I think his substitute Jim Bohannon had his own show. They used to air this locally on KGU in the early 1980s.
Today the #1 late night talk show is Coast to Coast AM with George Noory or Art Bell (weekends) and that show is not very political. If you like to listen to stuff about UFOs, the paranormal and other strange things, this is the place to be. Locally on KHVH 830 AM.
And the "legislation" thing is another piece of Hannity rumor/bullcrap; he knows damn well that such a proposal would never fly an inch. Gotta love Fox "Fairly Unbalanced" News ... their recent on-air "boo-boo" of identifying pedophile GOP federal Representative Foley as a "Democrat" not once, not twice, but THREE times over the course of a recent program reveals their sloppiness at best (and at worst, their deliberate skill at lying.)
On the Hannity thing, yes, more than likely such a proposal could not fly since this may be a violation of the 1st amendment.
On the Fox thing, every network makes it share of boo-boo's but to do the same one 3 times, is inexcusable for such a big organization.
