Success is not measured on 12+ numbers. KZLA bills in the 20's and is considered by Emmis to be successful and a good BCF generator. They own a niche in the market, and have no competition of a direct kind.

There is no revenue grwoth, but, on the other hand, the station has limmited costs and bills nicely.

Formats in Spanish

I'm still waiting to hear Spanish versions of Dr. Laura, Michael Savage, and "Focus On The Family". That way they can blame all our political ills on "liberales" and all our social ills on "homosexuales".

And speaking of conservative talk hosts, somewhere on cassette I have a recording of a funny skit in which WPLJ's Rocky Allen crew imitated Bob Grant acting as a DJ on "Amor 93.1" after he got fired from WABC.
