The Savage Nation continues to surge. Grew audience 25% in fourth quarter.
Savage surges and strives for top status in the streaming world. Super strong showing for the 4th Q 2011! Soon we’ll see if the latter year surge of Savage will suffice for the #2 ranking for 2011. Beck held down that ranking for the first two Q’s. Doyle darts up with the fervent following of the Ron Paul movement. Levin tops Hannity. Ingraham remains strong. Noory and Hendrie move up. TSL Top 100 talk shows for 2011 due out next.
I am so glad to have returned to Live talk radio weekdays 4-6pm ET on Oracle Broadcasting Network. Tom Donahue Reports has relied on Talk Stream Live
as its’ primary stream directory for the past 3 years. TSL is so appealing and appreciated for all that it freely offers the hosts, stations, networks and most importantly the listeners! More than 1000 distinct talk shows listed, from the mainstream to the alternative. Full spectrum politics to the paranormal realms.
You make the choices at your convenience and you’re in control of your talk radio! You rate and rank the talk shows based on whom you select for your listening session. Thanks to Bill at Talk Stream Live and to all its’ listeners. Time to gear up for politics 2012!
[…] continued surge further separates him from Glenn Beck and the other contenders,” said the report. “Look for Savage to challenge Rush for the streaming audio crown in […]
It’s too bad WIND AM560 CHICAGO dropped Savage. The AM 1530 station he is on here NOW in Chicago has NO bandwidth and all I can get on that station is static!! I can’t believe a big station here in Chicago has not picked him up. Michael, we can no longer hear you in Chicago!
Could Savage’s streaming ratings be growing because he has steadily been losing terrestrial stations of late?
I live in Chicago. I now listen to WLS more than WIND. With the exception of Medvid on WIND. Michael Please come back to the Big Blow torch…
PS. I also subscribe to TRN and listen to you STREAM
TSL has filled a giant gap for serious Talk Show listeners. It comes to the rescue for me on my iPhone when I am watching my toddler playing in the sandbox deep in a park for hours at a time. You could say it helps Daddy keep his mind sharp and alert. I am also discovering new shows like http://tomdonahuereports.com/ which are very enlightening and original.
Cumulus Media, you are taking off the best shows. You are the loser because
we will find our shows on the net – because you will see that there is a demand for shows you’re dumping. Take a look at the ratings of the streamed shows.
You’ve taken off Rush, Savage, and other high rated shows in our area, so we get them from the computer and leave the radio off. I used to listen to KSFO San Francisco, but now the only good show you have is Barbara Simpson on weekends.
