Well, with the acquisition of both Glenn Beck AND Sean Hannity, 710WNTM (aka Newsradio710) has not only shortened the popular Uncle Henry Show, they've moved the last hour-- 8am to 9am-- to INTERNET ONLY! And if you don't have high-speed internet or the latest browser, you STILL can't listen! Now, don't get me wrong. I LOVE to listen to BOTH of those guys. But the LOCAL listeners in the Mobile radio market WANT to hear Uncle Henry. He has a long-term connection to his VERY loyal audience. He is the main reason most people I know listen to talk radio.
I'm glad that we finally have this powerful and conservative lineup, but it is unfortunate that it comes at the expense of the station's elder statesman and Mobile's most-respected moral compass.
