LA Times: "Conservative talk radio in California is on the wane. The economy's downturn has depressed ad revenue at stations across the state, thinning the ranks of conservative broadcasters. For that and other reasons, stations have dropped the shows of at least half a dozen radio personalities and scaled back others, in some cases replacing them with cheaper nationally syndicated programs."

Depressing
He also announced he's changing the name of his ranch to "The Imus Ranch for kids with cancer...and me", and added that he'll go with the doctor who offers "the best weiner warranty".
ReplyDeleteI know the above sounds like sick humor, but it's Don's, not mine. Honest.
ReplyDeleteJimbo, I was listening, he pretty much wants a wiener warranty:)
ReplyDeleteI guess, I was hoping it was just the enlarged problem, that men go through with prostrate.
Well, at least Don can make sick jokes about his condition...
ReplyDeleteFrom emailer JC: Marty...is it just me or did you notice, too, that the article on the impending death of conservative talk radio in California failed to mention that liberal talk radio died a grisly and hardly noted death during the recent strong economic time out there? Seems to me that the changes in conservative radio are little more than an adjustment to advertiser spending patterns, while few -- if any -- big advertisers ventured into funding liberal talk at all...and most that did backed away once they realized that those waters were toxic.
ReplyDeleteAnd, as I recall the original story came from the L.A. Times -- hardly known as a reliable, balanced news source.
