Good News for Radio

Dirtbag Howard Stern's ratings are dropping like a rock, and Air America's miniscule ratings aren't even that anymore.

According to an article in the WaPo:
The Howard Stern exodus has begun. Unfortunately for Stern, it's his audience that's leaving, not him.

The shock jock won't jump to satellite radio until January, but in the meantime, his listeners in the Washington area seem to be heading for the exits. Stern's nationally syndicated morning program, which is heard locally on WJFK-FM (106.7), suffered a dramatic fall in the summer audience ratings, which in turn helped drag down WJFK's overall popularity.

Stern's share of radio's most lucrative audience (adults age 25 to 54) fell by nearly one-third during the July-September period, bottoming out at 3.4 percent, according to Arbitron Inc., which measures radio audiences. That was the lowest total for Stern in years, and possibly decades, given his long and successful career.

All I can say is Good Riddance!

And as for Air America, this says it all:
Air America, the liberal talk network carried on WWRC-AM (1260), went from bad to nonexistent. After WWRC recorded a mere fraction of a rating point in the spring with syndicated shows from the likes of lefty talkers Al Franken, Janeane Garofalo and Stephanie Miller, Arbitron couldn't detect a measurable listenership for the station this time around.

What was that Al Franken was saying about taking it to Rush?? Haw-haw!
