From private communication with a friend in the radio business;



In the Dallas-Fort Worth market, right wing talk is carried on
WBAP-820 (50,000 watts), KRLD-1080 (50,000 watts), KSKY-660 (20,000
watts), and KLIF-570 (5000 watts and simulcast on 1700 with 10,000
watts) In addition, there are Christian talk stations with the same
"talking points" on the FM dial at 90.9, 91.7 and 100.7, all with
100,000 watts each.

Along comes Air America on KXEB-910, 1000 watts, transmitter about 30
miles north of Dallas...

and here, and in the newspaper letters to the editor, and the local
programs on talk radio, and the discussion newsgroups, and the local
sections of radio-info.com:

Air America should be shut down for treason in time of war
Al Franken wants Bush assassinated
Al Franken stole money from the Boys Club
Al Franken is a filthy jew
Air America is not wanted or needed
Air America has no listeners
Air America has no advertisers
Air America bounces checks
Air America has worse ratings than the brokered Pakistani love ballad format
it replaced in some city...


In the Dallas market, the Air America station has less than 1% of the
transmitter power of the other AM stations mentioned above. Yet in a
city which voted for Kerry in 2004, the right wing doesn't seem happy
unless they control 100% of the discussion. And they will resort to
lies to destroy any deviance from the "party line."



AAR is doing fine, adding a couple stations a month, and now on Armed
Forces Radio Network for an hour a day and a dedicated XM channel.


In NYC, at the rate AAR listenship (WLIB) is growing and and Rush's
(WABC) is shrinking, the curve will cross in 5 quarters.

Well, maybe the conservatives are trying to play catchup with their
wildly successful liberal competition on NPR. Conservatives have been
unable to create a single network that can provide the quality of
programming and informative news that is available on NPR. Indeed the
polished presentation skills of NPR talk show hosts far outshines the
usual strident delivery of most conservative talk show personalities.
Consequently conservatives have decided to flood the AM airwaves with
ranting personalities like Rush Limbaugh spouting extremist gibberish
for hours on end.

Touche! :) Besides, without large numbers of conservative talk show
hosts, AM radio would have DIED an unholy death 20 years ago. All these
extremist ranting far right talk show hosts have kept AM radio in the US
from utter extinction. They're literally its bread and butter. The only
other significant formats on AM are evangelical preaching and Spanish
language formats meant for Mexicans who may not have cars with FM
radios, or who may not be familiar with FM (FM's limited distance makes
it impractical outside of major cities, and Latin America has a large
amount of sparsely populated jungle and desert). In major cities AM also
provides a home for other languages such as Asian tongues where there is
a demand for native language programming but the community doesn't have
a lot of money. AM provides cheap airtime. Outside of a) right wing
ranters b) preachers and c) foreign languages there is NOTHING on AM.
All the music is on FM, and satellite radio is just beginning to cut
into FM listenership. So basically, if you buy an old radio on Ebay and
it doesn't have FM and you need to test it out the right wing provides a
way to do that. :)

Right. Below is from http://www.npr.org/about/privatesupport.html :

NPR supports its operations through a combination of membership dues
and programming fees from over 780 independent radio stations,
sponsorship from private foundations and corporations, and revenue from
the sales of transcripts, books, CDs, and merchandise. A very small
percentage -- between one percent to two percent of NPR's annual budget
-- comes from competitive grants sought by NPR from federally funded
organizations, such as the Corporation for Public Broadcasting,
National Science Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Published reports in Worth Magazine and Consumers Digest cited NPR as a
leading U.S. nonprofit charity because of the organization's program
spending efficiency, high level of private support, and outstanding
public service.

On average, public radio stations (including NPR Member stations)
receive the largest percentage of their revenue (34%) from listener
support, 25% from corporate underwriting and foundations, and 13% from
CPB allocations.*

(* These figures are derived from the most recent CPB data available,
FY02. The remaining average revenue breakdown is: 6% from local and
state governments, 15% from institutional support, and 7% from all
other sources.)

No doubt there is a preponderance of ranters and ravers on AM. But
there is still some good stuff om AM too. I've got two DX oldies
stations that pop into the east coast around 7:00PM. And the all news
stations are always good for a quick update and traffic report. And to
be honest I enjoy the mexican music when in California.

It's anyones guess as to where standard AM and FM broadcasting are
headed. If satellite radio takes off and one standard emerges then I
suspect that more quality programming will shift to that medium, but
how much is a guess. I think it will take a merger of the two
satellite radio providers before that will happen.

I suspect that in the battle for listeners coming up that one of them
will dominate and ultimately overpower the other. There isn't a
difference in technical quality between XM and Sirius that there was
between AM and FM to force a transition. The winner if there is one
will be decided by the audience share gotten by having the right mix of
programming. And some of that programming is proving to be quite
expensive, so the investors are going to want to see a profit sometime
soon. I think it will be a bruising fight, but I may be way off base
too.

But it could also end up that XM and Sirius are just two more buttons
on a signal processor right along side AM, FM, Ipod, CD and maybe
digital FM.

It will be interesting.

given right or near right spokesmen versus the amount of time (and

It's true that NPR, like much of the media, is bending over
