<< A question for the radio consultants and
 syndication people who read this NG:
 
 I've heard/read rumblings of late that the national
 ratings for syndicated shows like Dr. Laura,
 Rush, and others have begun to decline across-
 the-board, and that many in the syndication
 business fear that this is the beginning of
 a significant downturn for national programming.
 
 Is this true?  After about 10 years of so of 
 lots and lots of syndicated/satellite programming, especially national,
 daily talk
 programs...is this the "beginning of the end"?
 
 Am I naive (probably) to expect anybody in
 syndication to admit it? Any opinions? 
 
 I think this has got to be of interest to many of
 us in the business and radio fans as well.
