Boston Radio Ratings November 2020.

I expect RKO will drop like a stone once Harris is inaugurated on the 20th.
Has Vegas set a line on how long Biden is president before the handover that people like you think is inevitable, if not planned?
I think one of the reasons people will tune away from WRKO to another station is to get real news. (The syndicated 40 second newscasts they used to air didn't seem like it gave them any sort of news image.)
WRKO has added newscasts from the WBZ newsroom....and given the station some news credibility.
(i.e. I don't have to tune to another station to find out whats going on in the real world.)
That and the height of political/election season has probable helped them

Sigh. Do people not get that the Democrats had an actual primary and Biden beat all of the more "progressive" candidates? It's even possible that black constituents who drove the nomination aren't as in to off-the-deep-end progressivism as might be imagined? So, no, Biden isn't going to resign the first day so a racially mixed "boogiewoman" of TrumpAmerica's fears takes over, and promptly takes their guns.
You obviously said this in humor...but I'm just cynical enough to believe that there's more truth in that than any of us would care to admit.
And if the wise-guys in Vegas don't...you can absolutely count on the London odds-makers to set a betting line on this one...LOL
And if Joe already has a date in mind, he can assure that he and his survivors will be set for life just by having an underling acting on his behalf open multiple accounts with William Hill, Ladbrokes, etc., then bet on Joe's behalf ... oh ... say, half the U.S. defense budget on the handover taking place on that date!
The easier bet is when do we see the launch of TrumpTV? Complete with his entire family. I say Jan 21.
It actually already exists on Facebook. But big daddy will have a lot more free time soon.

Which reminds me of this side note. Within the last couple of months or so, a radio station in Florida flipped to "Trump Country!"
But as you can see from some of the replies, some folks are incapable of seeing humor in the situation.

Talk1200 constantly promos kuhner's show...SMH.....but RKO never promos any shows from Talk1200 because they're all national shows, SMH...anyway..."Sandy" Shack (Nancy Morrison) is doing a promo for his show, apparently he's on vacation this week and will return Monday...the promo starts...."the great one"....seriously??? kuhner??? the great one? SMH - I thought that was Mark Levin?
This being 2020...also known as The Year From The Insane Asylum...Ya know what would be even funnier?...
If...by some weird turn of events out of left field (pardon the rotten pun)...that something which could ONLY be explained as Divine Intervention...someway...somehow...saves the Presidency of Old #45
It happens a lot...another reason why Air America got bad ratings. People have to know you exist in order to listen.
Stations don't usually promote co-owned stations with all national shows.
I am wondering if Newsmax will be rebranded as Trump TV with the Trump Tribe fully participating. Don Jr. and his Gal Pal Kimberly Guilfoyle would be perfect hosts of the Trump TV Breakfast Show or a sassy after midnight for adults only chat show. Eric could host an after school Civics program and actually learn by doing.
Despite his constant claim that all he wants in life is to continue to host the Crazy Kuhner Report on RKO, Dr Grace (who is always trying to save face) and CK would be delightful as the hosts of a weekend travel log as the entire Kuhner Clan hit the road in their Honda Accord to report from the Conservative hot spots around the USA.
I doubt any of this is going to happen. Should the election ultimately be decided in favor of Biden, the Trump clan is going to spend the rest of their lives being persecuted by politicized law-enforcement agencies. It started happening under Obama, it will only get worse under Biden.
The legacy of the Trump administration will be he didn't do squat to clean out corruption in government, which is truly sad, because at this point Washington needs a giant enema.
If I remember correctly from my time in Mass......
Everyone who listens to Talk1200 can pick up WRKO.
There is a swath of people who listen to WRKO that could never pick up Talk1200 even if they wanted to. (esp at night).
WXKS night signal...within 128 at night pretty much,barely going any further north, west, or south
