God Damn It - I hope, there is something left on SW. Now that Canada
has authorized IBOC, they will surely follow suit ! The only hope, is

!

"Opening Up the Conversation - talk radio new formats to attract new
audiences"

"Talk radio is still tremendously popular, capturing 17 percent of all
listeners during a given quarter-hour period, a share that has remained
stable over the past few years. Radio talk show hosts wield enormous
influence... Talk programs also tend to be more expensive for
advertisers than music formats... Talk has consistently been among the
top three formats in terms of converting audience share to revenue
share."
