2. What puzzles me is that some of these stations don't run ads.

When the hate talkers break, you get a music bump or a PSA.

You see stories that Rush Limbaugh's show loses millions because it has lost advertisers, yet he still airs everywhere. The details of his last renewal are secret. I bet "free market" conservative billionaires are financing these stations.

Strange I can find no journalistic investigations of this.
