Many of the Right Wing talk shows in my area don't even run ads.

They have Public Service announcements, promos for the show, bumper music, or even dead air.

It is a myth that the reason nearly all talk radio is conservative nuttery is because of the Free Market.

I am perplexed that the Liberals have ceded this valuable space to Conservatives.
