He is more the "old school" style conservative talker (although coming from a "younger generation" than some of the others on the air here like Dom Giordano). He generally focused on local issues and eventually parlayed himself onto TV as a fill-in host. Over the years, many of these conservative talkers decided to go for national syndication by becoming "shock jock" teabaggers like a Savage, Boortz, or Cunningham (or even like the Becks, Hannitys, and O'Reillys), but he seemed to resist it. The others essentially took the whole talk genre down into the gutter with them while the station owners eventually displaced local programming and jocks, including removing most non-political shows, and replacing them with infomercials amd this type of cheap RW programming.
I think John Batchelor on WABC is also about all that is left of the more intellectual conservative.
It's sad.
