You haven't a clue.

 

A television show hosted by a radio personality usually doesn't work due to the fact that by moving from talk radio to television, especially pay tv, alienates a segment of their core audience. I personally don't listen to Mr. Beck, I really think its time to move away from this pointless partisan divide and work as a single group to get this country going again. atriot:


In case this got lost in the dust bin of history, Rush Limbaugh had a tv show several years back that was a flop and it was on free tv. As far as listener numbers, Rush Limbaugh has many times more listeners per week than Glenn Beck. At least Rush claims to be right only 98.8% of the time, as stated by him when I could still tolerate listening to him.

 

Forgot about Limbaugh's show, probably because it was such a flop. Beck is/was the shock jock of talk radio.

 

MR Ford you are forgetting about the Great Howard Stern, The man, the Myth, The Legend, if it were not for him leading in the world of Shock Raidio, the morning zoo host like Beck and many others would have never been heard.. Howard had the vision of real honest radio back in the 70's and brought it to reality in the 80's long before Beck was around....

You can add the EtV Show Howard did for many years plus his channel 9 New Youk show and now there is Howard TV Payperview which does quite well from what i understand... Truly the King ofall Media...

No matter how much ppl hate Howard he has surpassed any other Radio host in the world in the terms of Listerners and of course Paychecks.... two 5 year contracts valued at $500 million each for only doing 135 shows a year on Sirius, not bad work if you can get it, Rush and Beck could only dream of making that kind of cash, yet I would'nt turn down their paychecks either....

Oh I didn't forget about ol' Howard Kentla. I was talking about talk radio hosts that deal with what goes on in Washington, Beck became the shock jock of that group. Howard really doesn't mess with that stuff the last time I listened to him unless it was something that actually affected him or his show. Like when the FCC was/is wanting him to chill out. Yes Howard led the way with what we now call Shock Jocks.

 

Limbaughs last contract was "only" $400 mil over 8yrs and he "only" has 14-30 mil listners a week, depending on who you believe. Stern draws about 25 mil a week, but what's $100 mil and a few ears between "shock" jocks?:lol:

 

Ever hear of Lenny Bruce ? Once Stern went political the show sucked and I haven't listened since.

 

Oops, sorry. I thought this was a thread about the Gay/lesbian Bisexual Transvestite movement. I guess I have nothng to say.... except that the Howard Stern show sucked BEFORE it went political. LOL.

Carry on....
