So they were doing a morning show only a few days per week? 😅

I realize conservative talk is not a strictly Republican thing. But what little I have heard on 106.3 is only tolerable to a Congresswoman’s Green Republican*. Cobb county has a population of around 760,000. Ten years ago, you could have made a living doing “Republican Radio” as Cobb was solid Republican. But Cobb is now considered “Purple” if not Blue as a result of the last election. Cobb County even has a Democratic Sheriff. Assuming a 50 % split you have around 380,000 potential folks that enjoy hosts bashing Democrats in the 106.3’s 60 DB**. According to Nielson, Atlanta has a 4.9 million population. Mathematically they have the potential to cover less than 8% of the market with conservative talk verses WSB’s 95.5 and 750 total market coverage. I doubt the agencies are calling them wanting to buy flights. If they could get a FM signal in Congresswoman’s Green district** they could have something. I would suggest they would LMA FM signals north and west of Marietta. Cartersville, Canton and Douglas counties have PPM folks. If you wanted to do a “network” add Rome and Dalton FM signals. There is potential there, whether they can get the signals is another story.

I still hear promos for 106.3 on 680 The Fan that say WSB fired Rush Limbaugh. How do you fire a dead person? I know, they dropped the show that was playing sound bites from Rush.

Agreed. Except for Beck when he's not getting all conspiracy-minded. And I like the conservative talkers on WSB (except for Mark Arum, but that's an issue with the style/format of his show).

How reassuring.

I made the same comment to a 680 host and Mark Zinno on Twitter. The response was: “Nuance… they dropped the network at the time when the plan was to continue to air the show in the form of his audio with a guest host.”

I like the tag, "Republican Radio".
Love it or hate it, it has out lived Air America Radio, which flopped like a hot dog stand outside a diet clinic

Looks like Zinno is no longer part of the station. He’s off the station website and no longer mentions being a political talker on his Twitter bio.
