Massive yawn

A hollow "victory" if ever there was one.

Liberal Commercial Talk Radio Disappears in NY, LA, SF in 2014
Only NPR is left.

Much ado about very little, the disappearance of some superfluous talk shows that couldn't attract an audience.

All it demonstrates is that there's no need for talk radio when, except for Fox, you enjoy near total domination of all the other media -- TV, print, music, and movies. And NPR on FM. You simply don't need AM radio, and that's a sign of success, not failure.

Fox is a big deal for conservatives, because it's all they've got. MSNBC means very little when you have NBC (and CBS, and ABC).

The AM dial is a ghetto church, with a few charismatics preaching "Hallelujah"  to a choir that has nowhere else to go.
