No Julius why do you keep bringing up the same stuff over and Over I think now is a good time to Sit and read the Boards rather then Post And if you are going to make a post think about what you are going to say before posting it
I'm starting to think Julius is just trying to start conversation. He really doesn't believe most of what he posts. Julius, you find newsworthy stuff and post it here; that's great. When you start making up scenarios; not so great. Do you even have opinions on any of the topics you post? It does not seem like it.

Holy Cow, that's rude!! Let him post what he likes. If it doesn't interest you, don't respond.
No need to be rude about it.

Pot calls Kettle Black. Live at 11.
Makes me wonder why Randy the hangman is so fixated on WURD. The station has its audience; just let it be.
The reason is simple, everyone constantly bashes the hosts of IQ, but no one says anything derogatory against WURD, which IMHO is more hate spewing and violent than Rush, Hannity and Levin can ever be. Why didn't you say IQ has its audience just let it be????

And why all the bashing of Hitler? Stalin killed twice as many people.

And if you really want to get technical, Tojo made Hitler look like Walt Disney, with all the war crimes committed against American, British and Chinese POWs, don't buy the March on Battan and Bridge on the River Kwai false movie plots, which made the Japanese look like school kids. Plus the utter destruction of all the islands and islanders who sided with the allies. But you never hear about it, its always the Nazi's, wonder why??? Then we can get into the war crimes against the poor Armenians by the Russians but again its always Hitler and the Nazi's..

I do. In the case of WPHT, they should not bring back Rush back to the station. there's a reason why 1210 dropped him and it would be foolish for WPHT to bring this show back.I'm starting to think Julius is just trying to start conversation. He really doesn't believe most of what he posts. Julius, you find newsworthy stuff and post it here; that's great. When you start making up scenarios; not so great.

Couple of thoughts on recent posts.
1. It's been posted elsewhere in other threads on this website, but perhaps not in this thread: Ratings don't necessarily equal revenue. It's entirely possible to earn more revenue with ratings that aren't as high as that of another station in the market. All sorts of variables, including the demographics of those ratings.
Something else to look at (and this has been mentioned in this thread): if conservative talk were really doing that well, it would have successfully jumped to the FM band a long time ago. Top 40 jumped from AM to FM. Adult contemporary jumped from AM to FM. Country jumped from AM to FM. Now, sports talk is jumping from AM to FM. Oldies/classic hits jumped from AM to FM. Conservative talk? Read this and other trade websites. If anything, there has been a pullback of conservative talk from the FM trials it had over the last couple of years. FMs are abandoning the format.
Conservative talk AS IT IS NOW is a format that, at the least, is not growing, if not dying slowly. Maybe someone can remake it to be more successful.
2. Why the criticism of IQ106.9 and not WURD? Last I checked, even though IQ's ratings are not top-10, they score above a 1.0 consistently. Not sure WURD even shows in the ratings. Also, there is the potential listenership for each station. 106.9's signal reaches much further and with better audio qualify than WURD.

You know the answer to this.

The reason they dropped him was, Premiere got a better deal elsewhere and clearance for their other two shows.
1210 didn't drop Limbaugh. They dropped Hannity and Beck, and then Premiere took all 3 across the street.
There's a reason why their aired Limbaugh until the last possible day they could even though everyone knew where he was going.

So "hate speech" is ok if the signal isn't city grade. Got it.

I see. So I guess what you are saying is that the door's still open for WPHT to air Limbaugh again?The reason they dropped him was, Premiere got a better deal elsewhere and clearance for their other two shows.

While I think your original comment was valid (although this may not be so readily apparent to newer participants here), to be fair rudeness and honesty often look the same. And "honesty" is often presented as an excuse or justification for being rude.

Great comment, also, WURD's signal is very strong in the areas and the people they are trying to reach, they have the best AM inner city signal of the lot, so their message is heard by who they want to stir up. I can remember in the 60's when they were WFLN-AM with 1kw day and no night service and the signal was very restricted, now they have improved over 100 percent.
