8. When Rush first started, his ratings were lower than his pants.
After 20 or 15 years of right wing pollution on the AM ban, the U.S American citizen is not use to a new for a old but resurrected format. Anyway, who in the 50th state does not wants
to hear anything remotely political, maybe a show about fishing or hunting. People live in Alaska to get away from politics and crime.
Radio shows take time to develop. Fox news lost millions of dollars for the 10 years until they went tabloid and Republican. Rush in the beginning, in the 1980's only had 7 affiliates in 1980's until he syndicated his show for free. Then in the new century, The American Enterprise Institute started to send out neo-con talking points to all AM right wing talk pukes. After 9-11 all right wing broadcasters were saying the same thing. It is time for Liberal radio! And the USA is hungry for it!

Speaking of 80's....
