Not surprising.

I suspect the reason is that there is a lack of appealing alternatives to NPR on the "conservative" side.

If anyone has ever listened to conservative radio like Rush Limbaugh, you'll know that his slow-wit attempts at humor/satire are cringe-worthy failures unless the listener happens to be a septuagenarian with dementia. The other conservative options are preachers and conspiracy wack-jobs... is there anything else?

There are sophisticated conservatives, but you definitely need to go to a different medium than radio.

Why do so many liberals listen to public radio?
