I thought this thread would be good for some tongue-in-cheek posts by our twisted posters and a few laughs. As this did not occur I sought and found a MSM opinion piece on the subject at Variety Mag. The comments are even more revealing than the article. Enjoy:

So when you say "flop" or "litmus test" you're talking about.... selling ads?
If a radio show can't sell advertising or otherwise attract private funding - or for that matter listeners - it's a flop. Why all the squirming, Pogo? We have Lib posters here who claim Lib talk radio failure is a function of lib youth who don't tune in. A valid point but it doesn't challenge the rising of the sun as you seem wont to do.
I wanted you to define the terms you start with. I think that's a reasonable place to start -- is it not?
So you think the purpose of radio is to sell things? Is that it? Sorry, you've been asked for two days at least to define what you mean by "flop" so it's not me doing the squirming.
