Stunner: All Obama Radio Format Tanks

Sounds like the radio version of MSNBC.

President Obama may be riding high in Washington, but OBAMA 1260 is not.

The area's only progressive talk station is changing formats, dropping such syndicated liberal hosts as Ed Schultz, Stephanie Miller and Bill Press in favor of financial news, starting next week.

The move by Redskins owner Dan Snyder, who purchased the station, WWRC, and others in Washington last summer, leaves the city without a liberal radio outlet. Program Director Greg Tantum says he thought the station could work because of enthusiasm over Obama, but that ratings collapsed to a level that could not be measured after the election.

But ratings nearly doubled, he says, at Snyder's conservative station, WTNT, which features Laura Ingraham and Bill Bennett.

Shocking, isn't it? How can an all-Obama station not even measure in the ratings? Perhaps endless Obama worship is turning people off?

More likely, just like most liberal talk radio, it's boring. Nothing but whining and moaning 24/7 turns people off.

Conservative talk radio succeeds because it's entertaining, informative and usually pretty funny. There nothing amusing about sycophantic Obama worship, especially when 98% of most media outlets are already practicing it.
