Well, as I said on "LTAR" right now there is only one big talk station, WRKO.
WBZ at night does talk and there are smaller (tiny) stations in WCAP and WRPT,
which only die-hards listen to. So there is a market for it. But it doesn't
have to be talk. I know some people on the list have mentioned the fact that
there needs to be an evening urban/black station to make up for WILD's non-
evening broadcasts. Could say 4 or 5 interested DJs pool their collective
resources to fill that niche'? I bet they could if they tried or they wanted
to.

 are many people on this list who think WXRV is the bees' knees, to me
 they're incredibly boring and amateurish-sounding.  I'm sure there are many
 who cringe at the type of radio I like (tight, high energy Top 40).
 Secondly, how do you get (and keep) all these people on the same page?
 It's tough enough to do this on a station with a defined format and chain
 of command, let alone a setup with more chiefs than Indians.  Like so many
 utopian communities thru the years, this idea works much better on paper
 than in the real world.  As you  may have guessed, I lean toward
 practicality, not idealism.
 
 How much talk radio can a market support? >>
