1. In Norfolk
the only "liberal" ( and i use to term lightly) show in my market ( Norfolk, VA) is Alan Combs show. The only people who seem to call are repukes and freepers.So in short yeah i think they'd listen, if only for the sole purpose of "freeping" the show

FOX News has him in most of the large national markets, and so far he's done a great job. But for some reason posters on here shill him as some helpless soul who never challenges the right, which simply isn't true.

2. I doubt it.
Liberals, while numerically superior to conservatives, wouldn't tune in since they don't need others to think for them.

3. Well
Mike Malloy's ratings are higher than the winger he replaced in most markets. He was still pulled. "Free market" my ass.

5. I don't see why not.
There are several regional Liberal hosts that get great ratings.

And while Liberals probably don't tune into talk radio as much as cons, many still do, AND the Apa-Opinion types (Independants) are still a huge percentage of the population and they listen too.

So yes.
