"NO BETTER (WORSE) PLACE FOR TALK THAN DC"

If competition leads to better radio, then there's no better place than DC. Because there are about a dozen talk stations if you include the non-commercial stations. Certainly WAMU is a pretty good station, even though most of the programming comes from NPR. The problem with Salem is they're buying one of the weakest stations in a weak AM market. Once WTOP moved to FM, the public left AM like rats from a sinking ship. So they'll have a presence in the market, but no one will listen.
 
Conservative radio not doing well in a city that is mainly populated the same government bureaucrats that conservative hosts bash all the time?

Yep, makes sense.

That's not the problem. The problem is that the population of DC is overwhelmingly black and Democratic, and the AM signals in the city aren't good enough to reach into the suburbs where the white Republicans who actually listen to right-wing talk radio live.
