Posted by: McQ on Friday, July 06, 2007 The Washington Post has a story out today about talk radio in Washington DC where it essentially says no one there really listens to it (well, with the exception of Limbaugh) and that included conservative talk. They then cover each of the stations in DC and talk about their ratings which pretty much mirror my findings here. My favorite part of the article comes in the last paragraph: Chris Berry, president and general manager of WMAL, says there's nothing particularly unusual about Washington and political talk radio, except that "people in D.C. are smarter" than talk audiences in other towns. "In Boston, Chicago, even L.A., it's more emotional," he says. "In D.C., people really do know the issues."Yeow ... yeah, Chris, that was really evident with the immigration bill, wasn't it? And, of course, they've handled the issues so well over the years, haven't they? Talk about attitudes. The real problem is he believes what he's saying. And I believe he reflects the prevailing attitude in that town. More than talk radio stats, that should bother you. |
