But it is entertaining radio. Talk radio is about entertainment, not

How can you have entertainment without content? Just like a web site.

Buy ammo! It'll be over fairly quickly, but always be prepared.

Huh?

Can never have too much ammo on hand.

Indeed. Far better to have too much rather than too little. It used to be that
way with arrows, (and in some instances that may still hold true).

Now where did I stash those RPG's?

Content is secondary to the entertainment value of the personalities. Sure,
they talk about stuff, but the same stuff talked about by uninteresting
fools gets no ratings. So entertainment is 100% of the formula to win
listeners.

NPR is from the middle 1970s. I think you may have them confused with
Pacifica.

NPR is still alive and well, and even has international outlets now,
including carriage on WorldSpace DBS satellite.

That was absolutely excellent.

may be on to something. Not.

Has no basis in "reality."

What does is the fact that WLIB is doing very well vs. WABC in the areas
where the coverage is usable.

And this is what you are refusing to see.

Have a healthy supply of those to, in case ammo runs out.

I keep mine in the freezer next to the claymores.

I keep mine under funk and wagnells porchG

Wouldn't that be the Funk and Wagnalls porch? G

No, I just say it's basically irrelevant. It's like saying some hobbyist
with a low-power FM transmitter has a good following in a 4-block area of
Manhattan, so he's a threat to WABC. He's a flea on an elephant.

And to wrestle this thing back to what we were talking about earlier, I
pointed out that their ratings were stagnant (with some evidence of an
actual fall in listenership). Then you came up with a bunch of irrelevant
gobbledygook trying in vain to explain why that was a good thing. It's like
trying to say the Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl because they played
a good game.

Deal with it.

You are one dense person. It is very common to compare lesser and greater
signals based on usable coverage. This is why Arbitron issues "embedded
market" reports so that smaller signal stations in distinct parts of a
market can sell effectively in smaller geographies against the larger signal
stations. In fact, no US market has more embeded markets inside it than the
NY MSA.

And to wrestle this thing back to what we were talking about earlier, I
pointed out that their ratings were stagnant (with some evidence of an
actual fall in listenership).

There is no statistical evidence of a fall in listenership. There is
evidence that the listenrship is stable, and not in a growth pattern. when
compared to WABC in 25-54, where the money is, the comparison is good and
very salable.

Then you came up with a bunch of irrelevant gobbledygook trying in vain
to explain why that was a good thing.

I came up with the usable signal comparison which is a standard practice in
the industry in evaluating signals.

It's like trying to say the Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl
because they played a good game.

Unlike sports, where there is only one winner, in radio there are many
winners. Stations way down in the 1-share range make excellent money. In
fact, the third highest billing station in the market is 18th in ratings
(nearly tied with WLIB) proving that rank alone has nothing to do with
making money.

So, your sports comparison is invalid.

Why would you assume that RHF has any need to adhere to the truth? If it's
in his gunsight, it's fair game, and no matter that the charges aren't true,
he'll still shoot.
