Let me get this straight: radio in general is in a constant state of turmoil
because of declining listening patterns (I believe a firm called
Bridge Media has chronicled this) and defections of advertisers 
themselves to other media.  Yet a powerful radio station in a major 
market keeps a guy on-the-air so a few business owners can get a "thrill"
by hearing a couple of the station's employees voice their spots!  Duh.

I occasionally view MSNBC, especially Keith Olbermann, but it's still the 
third-ranked cable news outlet.  If the population at-large is only
dimly aware of several of their headliners (Tucker Carlson, Joe Scarborough),
where does that place fill-ins?
