Matt Drudge, New York City Ratings
MATT'S RATINGS SCOOP
In NYC, Limbaugh Remains Number One
A fresh copy of the just- released and all- important Spring 2006 Arbiton Ratings Survey has been leaked to Matt Drudge, who has
published show- by- show highlights of New York City talk programs at the Drudge Report.
According to his figures, Rush Limbaugh again remains number one in New York City, while Al Franken and Randi Rhodes of Air America Radio hover near the bottom of the pack.
Overall, conservative WABC dominates the top rankings, while WOR and WLIB continue to struggle.
Figures represent the average number of listeners 12 and older tuning into any particular 15- minute period during the show.
UPDATE: conservative talker KFI / Los Angeles surges to a (first- ever?) first- place finish! Its 4.8 showing is a major gain from the 4.0 registered in the winter ratings period. Meanwhile, KABC is still stuck in neutral and Air America's KTLK turns in another 1.0 share.

Give a little Help to your Italian friends
Our country has a new government which pretend itself democratic but is trying to move into a socialist dictatorship.
Violations of the rules of the democracy happens every day and the magistracy is used as an arm against the political opponents.
The Communists that are 60% of the coalition of left want to vote against the financing of the military missions in Afghanistan and Iraq, sorry if we will not be able to respect the promises made to your country.
The commanders of our Internal Security Services who helped the CIA to capture a terrorist are now moved from their role and inquires because what they did has been considered illegal.
The government has moved the commanders of the financial police that were inquiring on the red cooperatives.
These are some of the things that happen in our country.
Please read our blog for further information, if you want publish our appeal, take it read to your politicians, help us to convince our politicians to respect the democracy.
God Bless You

Good point rightwingwhiner. Benson can probably confirm that for us.
P.S.
If the radioequalizer ever becomes relevant maybe it too will be leaked radio ratings.

Elle Monica,
You want me to spin the dismal AAR numbers into something they're not.
You can’t make a silk purse (Rush) from a sow’s ear (Franken)
Sorry, senorita - I can't help you on this one.

All this time liberals have been trying to convince me that NPR wasn't liberal. So which is it? The confusion is mind numbing! LOL

None of this matters a bit to Air America.
Nobody was listening before and nobody is listening now.
They don't care. They don't depend on advertising to pay their bills.
They don't have to earn their keep.
It's socialism at its finest. A classic example of the redistribution of wealth from the rich to use for the supposed benefit of a minority group (the extreme Liberals).
The fact that the idea doesn't work and that the money could be better spent elsewhere doesn't even faze anyone at Air America.
Adhering to the ideology is more important than any practical effect from following the ideology.
It's exactly what we'd get if these people ever got any real power.
Think of the Big Dig. It's an engineering marvel built at the greatest expense...too bad the execution was so flawed.
Now think of Air America.

So NPR isn't liberal, but liberals listen to it because it squares with their views, which are, of course, the correct views, because, doggone it, liberals say so.
-----------
Truth be told, Air America and NPR are both Clangbirds.

Use any math you want.
Add / Multiply / Divide / Subtract /
Bottom Line:
Franken did not make the top 10 in New York City.

News Flash:
You proved nothing. Brian's post is not about your 8th grade modern-math fantasy world hypothesis of merging multiple radio networks into a single entity. All you ended up with was a diatribe of nonsense.
The subject: Arbitron Ratings results.
In the future, RTFA and stay on topic.

If you are able to break the numbers down, most of WABC's listeners are not in NYC proper--i.e. liberal Manhattan.
And also note the top four programs, aside from all being on WABC, have at least 100,000 listeners.
Many of their listeners are in the suburbs which tend to lean more conservative even in blue states like NY, NJ and CT.
One area is Newburgh/Middletown (Mid-Hudson Valley, NY--#137). Even though according to Arbitron (from All Access) their top stations are FM, with AC WHUD leading the pack, the top AM station--WABC (4th rank overall with a 5.5)
In Monmouth/Ocean County (52), NJ, WABC is number 1 with a 7.1. WKXW 101.5, which is all New Jersey talk (NJ 101.5) plus music on weekends, is number 2. WKXW is paired with WIXM in South Jersey.
In Sussex (246) WABC is #2, behind Clear Channel's AC WSUS.
In Stamford, CT (which would techincally be my area--#142), WABC is number 3 with a 5.0. Despite having talkers like Boortz, Savage, Clark Howard and Jerry Doyle, WSTC/WNLK is near the bottom.
This considering the mayor of Stamford, Dan Malloy, wants to be governor of the PRCT against the popular Jodi Rell. While he's doing that, Stamford is starting to crumble again after years of his socialist community police programs and taxes going up!
Back on topic a hair, I used to work for STC/NLK before Cox took over. If I recall they had Mike Gallagher, Bruce Williams and a CT syndicated host named Judy Jarvis, who died of lung cancer a few years ago. It was 6 months there doing news and other things, but I liked it there--I really did.
In Westchester County, NY, WABC is #1 with a 5.4. But this is market 305 we're talking about. Then again, Clinton and her husband live in Chappaqua.

Dog gone it rightwingwhiner, you nearly had me convinced that NPR wasn't liberal, and there you go again lumping it in with the liberal stations in your number crunching.
I've decided you're not very credible, so I'll go back to my original opinion, which I gained from listening to NPR. NPR is a liberal voice. Sure, they put conservatives and libertarians on there to comment on topics, but the topics themselves are liberal oriented. What serious conservative gives credibility to an idiot camping in a tree? NPR does.

Rightwingwhiner,
I'm trying to figure all of this out. So now, apparently, you figure only open minded people listen to liberal radio and us closed minded people listen to conservative talk radio, because, darn it all, liberals are just that much smarter then conservatives.
I'm not sure how smart you are, it took me a short paragraph to say what took you a horribly written rant to say.

First of all rightwingwhiner, thanks for paying more attention to your writing style and context. I'm not a stickler for perfect English, but I do expect people to at least try to take a little care when writing, as it shows a bit of respect for the audience. Purposely using poor grammar is insulting, that's why radical Islamists hack English on purpose.
You said:
When you idolize and vehemently defend a man who tells you not to listen or read anything unless it's HIM (LIMBAUGH) I can safely assume you obey his orders.
Of course I obey his orders. I receive them daily over the radio, but I have to decode them with my special decoder ring, which, of course, you too can get inside a box of Kellogg's Raisen Bran, the official sponsor of the mind numbed robots!
But the real man behind the curtain is Mark Levin. He'll soon be to a market near you.

Rightwingwhiner,
When you quote somebody else, please use some etiquette and denote it somehow, perhaps with quotes or italizing, it makes for easier reading. I know you're new to this communication gig, but please try to keep up.

Good job on the math - there are just a few other calculations that the libs will want to include.
1.) Subtract the NYC suburbs because the suburbs are not really part of New York City. And the conservatives live in the suburbs.
2.) Subtract the listeners to Rush Limbaugh. They are conservative and are not permitted to listen to the liberal radio stations.
3.) Subtract the people over 60. They are conservative and everybody knows they are useless anyways unless you want to consider the Soylent Green factor.
That should satisfy the libs.
p.s. what is coulted?
