All the left’s whining about radio being dominated by conservatives shows exactly why they can’t make it in radio.

“The Center for American Progress and Free Press today released the first-of-its-kind statistical analysis of the political make-up of talk radio in the United States. It confirms that talk radio, one of the most widely used media formats in America, is dominated almost exclusively by conservatives.

The new report — entitled “The Structural Imbalance of Political Talk Radio” — raises serious questions about whether the companies licensed to broadcast over the public radio airwaves are serving the listening needs of all Americans.

While progressive talk is making inroads on commercial stations, right-wing talk reigns supreme on America’s airwaves. Some key findings:

– In the spring of 2007, of the 257 news/talk stations owned by the top five commercial station owners, 91 percent of the total weekday talk radio programming was conservative, and only 9 percent was progressive.

– Each weekday, 2,570 hours and 15 minutes of conservative talk are broadcast on these stations compared to 254 hours of progressive talk — 10 times as much conservative talk as progressive talk.

‚Äì 76 percent of the news/talk programming in the top 10 radio markets is conservative, while 24 percent is progressive.”

Here, for the Business 101 clueless, the fact is that radio is a listener/revenue generated business. Radio stations will play animal farting sounds 24/7 if it brings in revenue, it’s that simple.

Face it, liberal/progessive radio for the most part sucks. No, for all parts it sucks. I know I’ve listened to it, it’s bad - real bad. It says nothing, criticises everything that the majority of americans find sacred - life, liberty, etc.

Of course the morons at Think Progress think that it’s other reasons such as racism and inequality, but the fact is IT’S THE MONEY YOU DOPES!
