Actually, it isn't. At least in Talk Radio. In the early days of Rush 
I was at ABC. We gave Rush 2 hours on our talk channel, followed by 
Michael Jackson. Many stations took both. Other stations took Alan 
Colmes on a different network following Rush. They quickly dropped 
Jackson and Colmes. It was like falling off a cliff. Rush was a noisy 
bull in a china shop. Jackson and Colmes were more genteel and dealt 
with issues. In Talk Radio bull wins.
