Just in the last year, we've seem to have lost many 'conservative' type talk radio host, or one's that spoke against illegal immigration.
Al Rantel Kevin James Larry Elder Doug McIntyre Bill O'Reilly John Zeigler I'm wondering if it had to do with economic reasons or the issues of focus? I liked McIntyre, I'm glad he's back, but I'll ever here him because of his new time slot. |

From what I've read, the economic downturn has hit the radio industry hard, and not just talk radio. There have been lots of layoffs and cutbacks. Also, there's been a trend toward syndication which, on the whole, is less expensive than a format of mostly local shows. I'm glad McIntyre's back b/c I really enjoyed his insights and sense of humor. However, I'm somewhat concerned because he's coming back in syndicated fashion. Syndication, in my opinion, ruined the Larry Elder Show. Before he went national, Larry was this relentlessly critically thinking Libertarian who took great joy in skewering the assortment of race hustlers who occupy positions of notoriety here in So Cal. When he went national, however, he became a Republican apologist. I started listening to AM radio because of Larry Elder. Once he was being heard from coast-to-coast, I think he lost me within 6 weeks. Hopefully the same will not be true of McIntyre. |

Right now the only talk radio I listen to, when I listen to it, is Dennis Prager's show.

McIntyre has always been anti-illegal. I don't know about John Zeigler. I think Kevin James is on 870 krla at 9:00 p.m. M-F and he is pretty strongly anti-illegal and anti-corruption. |
