yes 90% of the talk radio here is all right wing talk...

the only stations that arn't right wing talk is sports radio, lot more enjoyable and i learn about sports too, which i never follow anyways haha

my old car only came with AM radio, i didn't want to put in an aftermarket radio had too keep it orginal, it was cheaper that way, the mant. alone kept me broke

I listen to sports talk radio and sometimes the all news station for (useless) traffic reports and the weather. If I'm driving late at night I will jump around and try to find the nuttiest talk I can find. There are people out there on some of the lower power stations that make "Coast to Coast AM" look positively sane. From militant black nationalists to some redneck talking about how Satan runs the United Nations late night AM is great entertainment.

Just because it doesn't make it into the Arbitrends or the big books doesn't mean it's not rated somehow...

Here in Washington we got a HUGE announcement yesterday that our biggest station (broadcasts on 1 AM and 2 FM frequencies in the market) is now going to be broadcast on FM only. Taking it's place on the AM band will be a joint venture between that station and the Washington Post. Judging from the station big cheeses' description of it (long form news, like a commercialized NPR, but I'm sure not nearly as interesting) it's going to tank, and we're going to lose another AMer altogether in DC.

"Unrated" as in not family friendly content. Words, phrases and content that can't be aired on open freqs due to FCC regulations.
