Like anything else successful, including life, conservatives are there making the wheels go round. I wonder how many lib idiots working for these stations who will have their jobs saved curse Limbaugh at the same time?

Probably most of them, but hey, free speech is free speech, especially when you're not getting paid for it. Some will successfully morph into more centrist on-air jobs but the major ideologues are mostly known, so most change will be off-air.
I notice you linked to a terrific site I just found yesterday. Here's their home page.

Lib pundits just stopped being talk-show humorous... probably around 1990. -But it started when they gave-up on radio-programming a decade earlier, I think, after The National Lampoon Radio-Hour went off the air.
When the internet debut'd, Libs had already become mean-spirited, which nobody likes to listen-to faithfully.

Mean spirited people gravitate to other whiners, but alienate everyone else. The worst were in unions, which increasingly are drawing government employees...to help the economy, don'tcha know.
Perhaps in your forays into the business world you've seen this. Take somebody who is new to any sort of regimen and they will find a way to make themselves more important whilst enforcing that regimen (program, policy, you name it).
Negative people plus any sort of power makes for a dangerous standing, unelected bureaucracy.
Before Rush Limbaugh came along, companies were starting to make radios that didn't have A.M. settings - it just wasn't worth a few extra cents for something so few wanted.
The only reason he was able to get syndicated is because A.M. station owners realized their only choices were him or bankruptcy. And more than a few chose bankruptcy.
This confirms a truth of republicanism, of the natural law - that government attempts to shape society while culture does shape society.

Yeah. Which can result with 'em being unfairly promoted over others who simply do the job diligently. -Leading to the
see what your people are doing, then tell them to do it style of leadership, which the Dems in DC embrace.
People give freely to charities of their choosing, so let's tell them, coerce them, force them to give... etc.

True, though
sportscasting-contracts were playing a role in AM's viability. Buttressed by
sports talk.
Millions shaped their days around Paul Harvey... and their nights around Larry King. Plus, I could pick-up AM-stations like WJR and WBZ, etc., in forlorn places like Monument Valley.

Hmmm... you have me musing on whether the LBJ-Administration would've granted subsidies to the transistor-radio industry, had the idea occurred to them.
