"The post-election blahs continued at WMAL-AM (630), the news-and-talk station that features conservative yakkers Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Michael Graham. The station, owned by the Walt Disney Co., recorded some of its lowest numbers ever among adult listeners, finishing 20th among all stations. During election season last fall, WMAL was the region's 11th-rated station, but its audience is off 45 percent since then..."

From 9/28/05:

Air America has grown in one year from 25 affiliates to 67. Their listening audience has increased from 1.3 million to 3.1 million in the same time period and they have also instituted a Air America Syndication, with the Thom Hartmann Show as its first offering. Granted Air America isn't the juggernaut that Clear Channel is, but they are trending upward, whereas the right wing talks shows are trending downward. Air America Radio has surpassed Hannity in Portland, OR. Al Franken's show bested Hannity in Minneapolis. As Drudge reported recently, The Radio Factor is being dumped by 630 KHOW Talk Radio in Denver. KHOW is the station that turned so mercilessly on Ward Churchill and whose radio talk guys O'Reilly booked on his TV show several times. Guess that wasn't enough sucking up to save the Radio Factor from getting ditched..."
