I'm still looking for ratings for RW radio stations but have been unsuccessful so far. Kaleva Sep 2021 #39

It's repetition and they spread the gospel underpants Sep 2021 #5

Maybe. Like people repeating that Fox has brainwashed half the nation. Others come to believe that. Kaleva Sep 2021 #8

Part of the problem is that there literally is nothing else to listen to in those regions. no_hypocrisy Sep 2021 #11

There's over a hundred FM and AM stations in Upper Michigan and northern Wisconsin Kaleva Sep 2021 #14

Point taken. I was thinking about the southern states. no_hypocrisy Sep 2021 #18

You could be correct about stations in the South. Kaleva Sep 2021 #19
