Future of talkradio stations

Well, back to our favorite subject: Sports Betting talk. I just was listening to CBS Sports Radio, and heard at least two spots for some fantasy football betting service, which is apparently somehow associated with the NFL. It was followed by a PSA about safe betting, or something similar.
Looks like it's a growing phenomenon in the sports talk radio world.

Online sports books are a major advertiser for radio and TV. If your station has anything to do with sports, there will likely be some ad buys that otherwise wouldn't exist. Online sports books saved a lot of stations coming out of the pandemic with automotive being in the tank.
Just a random question here.
I'm just wondering about a few people and the status of their radio career. Steady, increasing or on the decline:
Michael Savage
Denis Prager
George Noory
I used to hear Savage and Noory a lot on WRJ (AM 760) in Detroit, but not for the past 2, 3 years. Savage was on in the late evenings in the past, I think he got moved up to maybe a 7 pm time slot before disappearing. Noory was (naturally) on after midnight I think, probably the same time slot as is now used by the Red Eye Radio.
Prager was never (to my knowledge) heard on Detroit radio, I listened to him for a bit a couple years ago on the internet, I think he was on some California stations, don't know if he was carried nationally or not, I imagine he would have been.
Just wondering what they're up to these days, radio wise.

Savage ended his syndicated radio show and went podcast only as of late 2020 or early 2021. He was 78 and supposedly owns several homes in multiple cities so I'm sure he's happy to be free from having to plan, create and execute a radio show for a few hours each weekday. Personally I couldn't listen to him. On the stations I could pick him up on he was usually overmodulated and distorted to the point where it just wasn't pleasant to listen to. That's aside from the fact that he was ultra-radical in at least some of his views, and often made "predictions" which rarely if ever came true.
Detroit is an interesting market in that it only has a Cumulus talk station, a Salem talk station and a Canadian talk station. No iHeart outlet. WJR is owned by Cumulus and only runs its own Westwood One programs and local drive time shows.
Salem owns 1,000 watt WDTK 1400 and its 101.5 translator. So that's where you'll hear the Salem line up, including Dennis Prager, if you can get the station. It also runs Sean Hannity from iHeart, but you have to wait till 11pm.
The rest of the iHeart - Premiere Networks line up is not available in Detroit. No Glenn Beck, Clay Travis & Buck Sexton, Jesse Kelly or George Noory. CKLW 800 Windsor used to run Coast to Coast with George Noory overnight. But I just checked and the station now repeats daytime shows overnight.

I'm actually in London Ontario, about 100, 120 miles from Detroit, but I grew up in Windsor. WJR puts out a lot of power, I think it's one of those clear-channel stations that you can hear for hundreds of miles (at night). I can pick it up no problem any time of day. It's the last station I can tolerate listening to, everything else has gone so woke it makes me vomit.
At night when I can't sleep I'd rather hear Coast to Coast vs Red Eye Radio. I wish those guys took more phone calls, it would make their show more interesting. Any ideas who puts out a strong enough signal at night for George Noory that I might pick up? Toledo, Cleveland, Erie, Niagara falls? Akron? Buffalo?
I understand that WJR's Mitch Album (afternoon drive time) is syndicated? What other stations air him?

The only thing "woke" suggests is we should do unto others as we want them to do unto us. Not sure what the problem is with that.
Cultural tolerance. You can read about it in the Declaration of Independence, where we stated we deserved better treatment than we were receiving from the British.
I don't know where you've been lately, but "woke" demands obeyance or you will suffer cultural exclusion at the very least, and financial sanction or judicial persecution if it can be arranged. Ask Jordan Peterson. The left are far more militant than the right at forcing their mindset and world view down your throat, your constitutional rights be damned.
Really? Which group bans books and bans LGBT folks? Where are their constitutional rights? Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Jordan Peterson is a Canadian. He still supports the monarchy.
That is a smallish segment of the far right. The average conservative is not into book banning or limiting the rights of others.
Tell that to the governors of Florida & Texas. How about the rights of women and their bodies?
There is a legitimate opposing belief that the unborn fetus is a life that supercedes the desires of adult women.
Who is responsible for the fetus? The parent or the government? Doesn't the parent have a say in that?
People are free to believe what they want to believe, but that ends when it involves someone else's body.
They don't have the right to kill a human life.
In this case, the infant's life is part of the issue.
And yet women who get an abortion are not charged with murder.
A fetus is still dependent on its mother to exist. The mother has the right to decide if they want to carry the pregnancy through.
And that is because the legal system has to accommodate many belief systems.
That is your opinion, while many believe that one a fetus reaches a particular point it is a living being which is being hosted by the mother. We have persons with disabilities who are totally dependent on others, but we do not kill them either.
