Estimates suggest that radio listenership (listening at least once a week) to the following categories are as follows (1) :
NPR/Public Radio 34 %
Christian Radio 22 %
Conservative Talk Radio 17 %
Liberal Talk Radio 7 %
I have no way to know the accuracy of the above numbers. But the survey sited in (1) does break things down by voter demographics.
Corporation for Broadcasting (our tax dollars at work) budget for FY 2007 is a little over a half a billion dollars (2) with the state of Alaska getting about 7.5 million of that money. And my state of Utah receives 6.8 million. I guess ol' Stevens is more powerful than Hatch.
So Booty, how much does it cost to run a radio station?
