companies can easily be associated with the content they sponsor and as soon as the left mounts any long overdue challenge to it the radio advertising industry will have to start asking clients if they really want to support trump and global warming denial. that will apply real market demand to the talk radio monopoly and will destroy it, opening up stations for liberal talkers.
boycotts of all rw radio advertisers and protests at the 88 universities broadcasting sports on 260 limbaugh stations would also do it - one or two discussing the possibility of looking ffor apolitical alternatives will freak the gop out and advertiseers will head for the hills. once a few schools start it others will follow.
