It sound like Jurkowitz defined the market narrowly so the data supported
his thesis.

Has there ever been a time when women were better represented on talk radio?

I can think of a number of conservative women who have had national shows.
Mary Matlin had a show for a few years and Laura Ingram has a show now.

WRKO has tried a number of different women hosts.  It seems to me that
several got their jobs primarily because they were women.
