I recall someone saying other Salem stations/websites solicited people in other markets to support their new Columbus venture by Liking it. The Answer's cume was only 14,700 in Jan 2013, the last time the numbers were published publicly.
Don't be so hard on The Answer. Although I'm not a huge fan of their neocon take on things, the talk shows are generally on the more intelligent side compared to the rest of talk radio.
I don't want to get political here, but I once heard Hugh Hewitt mercilessly berating a mainstream-media journalist for not admitting "the obvious truth" about something. Hewitt went into some mathematical "common-sense logic" that was totally illogical. And he was very dogmatic about it. Within a month he was proven wrong as can be. This smugness is obnoxious and is reflected in the station's smug moniker, "The Answer." IMO their "more intelligent" demeanor is more style than substance.
