10. 1. Rush Limbaugh hails from Missouri. No wonder why he's so popular on the radio there.

2. What is incomprehensible is why there isn't a SINGLE non-conservative/liberal radio station in New York City. In 1998, there were three: WABC (even though they carried Rush), WWOR, WEVD. (I don't count Pacifica WBAI as it isn't a commercial station.) These stations couldn't find sufficient sponsors, commercials to run, etc. and they went to the conservative radio model for their schedules. Not that they're doing terrific; they aren't. New York City doesn't share the same political interests as Missouri. There should be at least one liberal station.

3. Air America was a franchise of liberal radio but it wasn't well organized and financed. It could have existed more than 3-4 years. Listeners will tune in if it's on the air.
