Sounds like their host lineup is everybody who is too bombastic or lunatic fringe for WJR. Do we really need another conservative talk lineup in this city? Does progressive talk not have anything to say that's appealing to listeners? Personally, I hope they crash and burn, but I guess XYT figures there's an audience for this.
