I was wondering if anyone had any theories as to why the talk show formated AM radio stations have a politcal slant towards the right. This may only only hold true the stations in my area (OK it is Cincinatti). But the the FM stations have no problem playing UNEDITED versions of songs containing profanity. This in part to Clearchannel using there first admendment right. Are right wingers so cheap that they buy AM only radios ? :rolleyes:
there are some AM shows bent toward the left, but not many.
if you feel like you aren’t being represented in the media (like the conservatives complaining about the bias in media that slants to the left) you’ll more likely try to get your voice heard more.
plus many of the older conservatives ride in old tractors and old pick ups, which rarely have FM radios (mostly a joke…but that is one reason there’s a lot of AM country stations in farming communities)
I need to clarify that even though I grew up on a farm and rode in an old pick up, my political views slant towards the LEFT. I remember voting for Brown for President one year and I have an arrest for rioting/ disorderly on my record (conviction overtuned in higher court). So I do have a tendency to make my voice heard. 
The reason FM plays music and AM plays talk is that music sounds better on FM and AM gets the leftovers. That part is simple.
The reason more talk shows are conservative than liberal is because the conservatives believe Big Media is too liberal and the only way the TRUE STORY will get out there is if they put it out there themselves. And let’s face it, I don’t like Rush Limbaugh, but he’s more entertaining than 95 percent of all the morning zoo teams on FM put together.

This is a general question, not a great debate, so off it goes.
