December 04, 2004The Medium Heats The MessageOne talk radio host is embarrassed by the medium Posted by rickheller at December 4, 2004 11:40 PM Comments
Rick, I have exposed myself to commercial talk radio. But, I don't stay with any show very long because I agree that the medium requires them to be so extreme. I don't see it changing any time soon. There are established names in radio today that have been around at least 20 years. As long as they remain profitable, they'll continue to tailor extreme messages to their listeners. When I'm on the road, I catch local and regional talkies that give advice or talk about current events in an objective way. I'm not sure that the format would play well on a national level. Posted by: Jamie at December 5, 2004 02:37 PMThis argument could be made about bloggers who might feel they have to be extreme to maintain attention. Can one be an extreme centrist?
