mred said:According to Conservative Las Vegas Newspaper -The Review-Journal - Hannikty only brought 3100 people to the Orleans Hotel in room that holds 9000 for one of his Freedom Concerts. This after a lots of promotion both locally and nationally. The local PD at the Vegas Station where Hannickty is heard, got really up-tight when the news broke, and tried to do damage control, attacking the press and internet reporters and blogers. Hannity has been coming in behind Savage, and the program director lashed-out on the air During "the morning source" show with Alan Stock and said "SAVAGE IS A RACIST, WHO JUST TALKS ABOUT SAN FRANCISCO POLITICS" So things must be pretty bad, or one would not see this kind of over-reaction.
That's funny! My stomach hurts from laughing!!!Dale Jackson said:radiodaze2000 said:barthgimble said:Sean Hannity was the first good talker to be syndicated in PM Drive so his show became a continuation of the Limbaugh show. He has zeal,
passion, and charisma which guys like Bohannan and Larry King lack. Those guys are on late at night for one good reason. They can cure insomnia. When Hannity first started in syndication, there were more local shows in the afternoon. Now most shows after AM Drive are syndicated. Ironically, Bill Clinton opened the door for Hannity with deregulation.
Hannity...charisma? Those words together don't match. He is the most partisan of all. Bush Butt Boy to the limit. His success and appeal will go when Limbaugh goes. His ratings haven't grown for years. ABC knows it and probably will not pay if in fact he decides to dart to Premiere, which is my guess. If he doesn't change the radio schtick, his numbers will continue to fade. Any time he goes up against real competition, he loses. Benefiting from FNC over exposure. He is capitalizing while the iron is hot, but it will cool fast.
You complain of how partisan he is and then call him a Bush Butt Boy? What does that make you? (overreacting moderators please relax and leave this right here)
Let's not be silly he gets over 10 million listeners, there will be a bidding war over this guy for years to come.
