Again, obviously a lot.  

While I am really turned off by the above programming.....  I admit that
it's working for the stations.  Dr. Laura is the "Talk of TalkRadio"
right now.  And Howie is probably the biggest moneymakers for WRKO.

Agreed.  Just look at the success of Jerry Springer.  The one show
EVERYONE is fascinated by....watching two people slug it out, pull hair
and bite each other on stage!

Now THAT's E-N-T-E-R-T-A-I-N-M-E-N-T!!!
