I made an error on these numbers, but it doesn't change the overall 
point.  It turns out I was looking at cume, not AQH. 

For AQH, Rush is in 17th place, and WBZ is just a few listeners ahead of 
that.  WBUR's audience is 15% higher, WTKK has  almost 80% more 
listeners, and the #1 station actually has 360% more listeners than Rush.
