Salem Radio Network aka The (Wrong) Answer - vanity

[Night Hides Not]

Sorry folks, the biggest names on their network are riding in First Class on the Trump Train. I specifically refer to Mark Davis, Mike Gallagher, and Sean Hannity. All three have become downright belligerent in positing as fact "if you aren't for Trump, you're for a Hillary Presidency."

LOL, but it was Mark Davis just a few weeks ago, when trying to keep listeners who support Ted Cruz, said that within Donald Trump lives a petulant 9 year old boy. Of course, that would still be better than President HRC. Perhaps so, but that kind of ringing endorsement is not enough to capture my vote.

I listened to Gallagher while driving back from lunch. It was painful to listen to, he was talking over his listeners (and customers, Mike), and going off on so-called "NeverTrumpers."  He's been so giddy today, after Trump's "great" speech last night...you know, the "pivot" we've all been waiting for.

No need to call for a boycott of that station, as their ratings can't get much lower, if Arbitron is correct. They must be making money, as commercials take up over 40% of air time. The latest ratings showed them around 30th place (0.7), and a mere 0.2 ahead of Southwestern Adventist University.

By comparison, WBAP is 11th, with a 3.3.

The results may be skewed, as the ratings are from 6 am to midnight.

If someone out there has better ratings data, please feel free to chime in.

I listen to Medved on KSKY.  Nothing else, as everybody else is a Trumpkin.

Sorry I don't have any ratings data.  I used to listen to Rose Unplugged on the local "Answer," but she has apparently gone over to the dark side too.  A shame.  I really liked her, and I don't usually care for talking heads on TV or radio. 

Hope these personalities can make up the audience shortfall in real conservatives with the Trumpies.

I haven't heard Mark Davis since he was on WBAP or any talk radio for years now.

Steve Deace is on the Salem network, I believe.  He's a firm NeverTrumper.

He's a good one.

He's a good one.

@geronl

Definitely.  One good thing about this election season is the coming to prominence of the next generation of Constitutional conservatives---Deace, Ben Shapiro, Dana Loesch, Matt Walsh, etc.

This should go in the radio area or contributions from members.

Steve Deace was one of Cruz's biggest supporters, he's with Salem.

Trump heavily criticized Hugh Hewitt.

But they are being smart,  they don't want to see a Clinton Presidency. That's a no-brainer.

Larry Elder rocks.

Deace supports neither the Clinton nor the Clinton donor.

I think we are close to seeing the end of talk radio imho.

Medved is one of the few sane talk show radio host that is left..
