How many News/Talk stations air all-syndicated programming, all the time?

R

While there are some stations in Arbitron-rated markets that have at least one live, local talk show, usually in the morning, and then switch to syndication the rest of the day, there are some, like WALG in Albany, Ga., that don't air any local talk. Does anyone know of any other stations in Arbiton-rated that run syndicated shows exclusively 24/7, with no local programming? Any questions?
 
There are a bunch:

To start, the Salem Talk stations in several markets.

Then add most of the progressive talk stations. A few just take the Air America Radio feed (including WLIB, New York). Nearly all the others take AAR plus Schultz, Miller, Lionel/Hendrie/Holmes or others. Only a handful have local programs.

All markets (meaning all Statistical Metro Areas) are Arbitron rated. However, many markets with less ad revenue are not rated four times a year. The further down the list of markets you go (Albany, GA is #268 out of 297 in total), the less likely you are to find local talk shows.
