Talk radio not popular in Washington DC
Bill O’reilly’s radio program, “The Radio Factor,” was dropped from local Washington DC stations. Other than Rush Limbaugh’s program, talk radio isn’t popular in DC. Its ratings are so low that it isn’t even listed on most rating charts.
At first glance, one would assume this is because DC is a liberal city. But this isn’t the case.
“”It’s not that we’re a liberal town,” says Jim Farley, who oversees programming for all-news WTOP and news-and-talk Washington Post Radio.
The Washington Post article says “By comparison, Seattle and San Francisco — two famously liberal areas — have popular conservative stations. And “Savage Nation,” the radio show hosted by Savage, who was once fired by MSNBC for making anti-gay slurs, is a perennial hit in the Bay Area.”
