I hope I am not getting too political, but many commercial radio stations (including the ones I work for) run shows like Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, etc
these shows fit into the conservative talk radio format, and are not allowed to stray outside that format.
I am not saying that conservatism is necessarily wrong, nor am I saying Limbaugh or Hannity are pedophiles, but it seems to me like adhering to a format where only one side or one opinion is allowed, is a sell out, regardless of any criminal history of the host.
I am also not necessarily defending brother stair, but a radio broadcasting license, studio transmitter link licenses, electricity, facilities maintainence, studio staffing ets is really expensive. In these days of a connected world, radio stations are scrambling to keep the books in the black, and will do anything possible to make money. Renting airtime pays well, and often the rented shows also generate revenue for the station.
I wish it were not so
