Interesting, since I believe "Meet the Press" started on radio.  In any event, it was on both 
radio and TV for many years.

I imagine that there may be many people who might be working and be able to have a radio 
on, but not a TV.  Or people who might listen while driving in their car.  I've occasionally 
caught "60 Minutes" on WBZ while in my car, and I listen if they're doing something I find 
interesting.

For that matter, if you compare "Meet the Press" with many things on public radio, I think it's 
obvious that the audience is there.  Whether, without seeing advertising, they'll find a 
program like "Meet the Press" on a station other than WGBH or WBUR is another matter.
