ABC Syndication Affiliates

[kaufcom]

I'm curious why some talk radio syndicators publish affiliate lists for their hosts and others don't. For example, one can easilty find the affiliates for Limbaugh, Dr. Laura, Noory, Beck, and O'Reilly by linking up their websites. However, other hosts like Hannity, Savage, and Ingram do not offer affiliate lists on their websites. The latter hosts are distribted by ABC Radio Networks
and Talk Radio Networks. I wonder why these syndicators (or hosts) don't want to reveal this information?

TRN's Jerry Doyle and Laura Ingraham list theirs on their website. Hannity makes you type in a ZIP code, although at one point he had a full listing. As to others like Steph Miller, she doesn't publish hers because it would be too embarrasing. I enjoy her show, but it's hasn't gotten big enough yet.

IHMO: lesser shows/networks are loathe to admit that many of their affiliates are unrated stations, or that many of the "real" stations on their list actually clear the show overnights/weekends.
