Twin Cities tuning out hate radio
"In general, the talk shows that are succeeding are ones that haven't been reliving the election, or constantly harping on the polarization between liberals and conservatives, or referring to Mrs Clinton as 'Hitlery.'"
OK, I made that last part up.
Fat-ass drug-addict Rush Limbaugh's show has lost 43 percent of its audience among 25- to 54-year-olds in the past year. Repulsive pudface Sean Hannity's show is down a whopping 63 percent.
The shift is serious enough that "we're weighing where these shows fit for us in the future," according to Todd Fisher, general manager at KSTP, which carries both programs.
Al Franken is an exception, however. Locally, he has increased his audience share to 2.4 percent of listeners ages 25 to 54, compared with 1.3 last year.

"Why yes, I AM a pathetic, drug-addled asshat."
