And here I was hoping the market was drying up for his sort of nonsense. Or, at the very least, that corporations were increasingly unwilling to pair their products with his programming.

Crowsbeak posted:Yeah lol no. You cannot go full1488 and then return. True. A more realistic assessment would be that talk radio as a medium is slowly winding down. Paetronized Podcasts and Blogs are going to be where all the talk-radio-esque action will go. The real question is going to be if a dog-whistle will still be able to attract enough people to fund a media show when you have people screaming obscenities with a megaphone next to your attraction.

El Gallinero Gros posted:Maybe that Michael Savage guy. He's basically the same dude isn't he? Savage hates Limbaugh, and pretty much everyone else in right wing media. He calls mainstream right wing media the "Rush Cartel" which includes Hannity, Levin, etc. Savage hates the GOP. He just hates liberals and dirty commies that much more. He's like Alex Jones kinda. He goes on Alex Jones' show now and then, and they agree with each other 90% of the time. http://www.mofopolitics.com/2015/04/22/michael-savage-rush-limbaugh-owned-by-the-republican-party-such-a-lying-oaf/ I have no idea who would replace Rush for being a straight-up propagandist for the GOP, but yeah, maybe as traditional talk radio dies out, and Fox News watchers age and die off in ever increasing numbers, maybe we will see more of Alex Jones or people like Savage with his borderline fascist hate-radio.

I dunno if I'm uninformed or just representative of my generation, but I'm in my late 20s and literally don't know what station I'd lIsten to if I wanted to hear national talk radio like Rush Limbaugh. I know that a couple local rock stations syndicate a couple shithead right wing comedians out of I think Texas and I listen to a local black celebrity talk guy on the way to work, but other than that I assume it's all on AM or XM?

In Tallahassee there's an FM station dedicated to right-wing talk. The corporate rock station plays a commercial where the announcer says that if you want to "stay informed tune to 100.7" without so much as hinting that it is pure-strain Beckian craziness. I'm guessing they're both owned by Clearwater?

Rush has no heir. Like others have said, with talk radio dying there will be no replacement. Doing what Rush does takes actual talent and most other Rush wannabees don't have any.

Used to be AM; the talk/news station I listen to when commuting (local news, so their views are oddly party-neutral and they stick to their own agenda) had Rush at one point. I think he moved from that station to a station called the Patriot, which was fantastic, since I no longer have to change my radio station during lunch. It was hilarious to listen to him freak out over poo poo he had no idea about though, especially since one of my coworkers would unironically parrot his bullshit like it was some sort of revelation. Thankfully, he has since learned that a lot of those talking points are bullshit.

Yeah its gonna be with alot of still clinging to some beliefs and "Both sides suck" but nobody just does a 180 on their opinions overnight. Wasn't it Kentucky that had republicans literally crying once they realized after they signed up with the ACA they can actually see a doctor now and now supported it and democrats? Or I'm just clinging to the idea that people can change to avoid drinking my liver into a rock hard lump.

On the podcast, Best of the Left, there was a regular caller who slowly came to the realization he should be a liberal. It was a real sweet and frustrating journey, but I'm always  when I see one.I guess what I'm saying is it can be done. Hell, I voted McCain in '08, but now I'm so far left I'm rooting for Bernie.

Ron Paul wasn't The Most Conservative candidate, he was a specific weird niche of the Republican Party. Ron Paul was literally booed on-stage during the primaries because some of his views weren't "conservative" enough. Calling Bernie Sanders the Ron Paul of the left is a disservice to how unusual Ron Paul is.

No, it's because it's way more common for the past like 15 years for something with a radio to only have an FM tuner. And it really doesn't save you any money to broadcast AM unless you're trying to cover hundreds of miles radius in no-population zones, so why wouldn't you do it on FM?

All things that tend to not include AM radio but often include FM. Compare to the past where often FM radio as well as AM radio was an extra expense, and you'll see why so much stuff was on AM as late as the 80s, and why everyone's moving over to FM nowadays.

pangstrom posted:I'm not saying THAT GUY hasn't changed, he probably has, but by "exception proving the rule" I just mean the guy literally had to have his quality of life very-directly impacted by R policy (and his choices following that "logic" and also yeah some bad health choices), and when he tried to get help it came mostly from liberals, many of whom sent a compassionate mini-lecture along with the donation. So he changed his mind and/or tried to pay the donors "back" and/or just made what might be a better appeal for further donations. Really you probably couldn't engineer a better way to change somebody's stance if you tried. What sucks is its pretty much the only way to change alot of peoples minds. Drug laws, healthcare, whatever. Until someone gets ground up in the system way too many refuse to consider the system is even flawed much less completely broken.

Rorus Raz posted:The party of family values They'll just pretend they've always hated him despite continuing to watch him. I've had this kind of conversation with FNC-watching family. They'll go through nearly the entire host line-up, and it'll come down to them saying they really only like Chris Wallace, Greta Van Susteren, Dana Perino, Kimberly Guilfoyle, and Bob Beckel. They don't actually watch Chris Wallace's show, but they do watch the entirety of the FNC evening schedule. The way FNC markets themselves is abusive. Viewers who watch it will often say they don't like it, but they refuse to change the channel. If they change the channel then they might see a piece about Obama that's not a hit piece, Morgan Freeman might mention the civil rights movement, or there might be a gay person shown to happily living their life. Fox is the only place they can be "free" to not interact with.. um... the majority of the rest of American culture after excluding bigoted white Republicans. They're like agoraphobic when it comes to the media they consume. Their thinking has been so poisoned by partisan politics that they cannot view anything through an apolitical lens. My father once told me, "I'm really worried whether watching Doogie Howser with you when you were a kid might have messed you up. Turns out that guy's a queer.  "
