Iowa getting downsized. Fly over country is a thing unfortunately.
There were 1,000 layoffs company wide. iHeart filed for bankruptcy in 2018
Not sure this says anything about validation as "flyover country" unless you want to ignore those facts.

Lowest common denominator. You think they would do the same thing in Miami? I moved away a few years back. People don't even know what or where Iowa is. Sorry if this hits a nerve with you but its 100% true.There were 1,000 layoffs company wide. iHeart filed for bankruptcy in 2018

Howard Stern talks about radio industry a lot given he was such a figure in the history and evolution. Obviously a biased source but a few months ago he said am/fm radio advertising rates are the same as they were in the late 90s. If that's even close to true it's pretty crazy.
I haven't looked but I would bet that larger markets were not cut as hard as smaller ones. That's mostly because of the numbers but people underestimate how little empathy the coasts have for the middle of the country.I'm not saying the fly over label doesn't have merit, just that the KXNO situations isn't necessary a result of that mindset. i.e..the old..."causation doesn't necessarily imply correlation" . Are you suggesting that with the massive layoffs and bankruptcy filing , no big markets where affected similarly?
I read a couple national stories and they singled out KXNO and how the listeners were upset about the changes.
Maybe it's just me but if you can't find every State in the Country on a map, you are not qualified to run any business with more than $1 million in revenue.
If the car has an audio jack. Otherwise it may be a little more to buy a portable bluetooth speaker and go that way.
The first post wondered "If podcasts are advertiser sponsored, don't most people not even listen to the attached commercials?"And this is different from any other medium how? If I'm watching TV or listening to the radio, I can switch channels during commercial breaks and then come back.
I guess beggars can't be choosersI stopped listening, since ISU is struggling so much, but this is bad news.
I'd rather eat dinner with Fran McCaffrey than listen to national sports radio.

I promise you there are thousands of successful business owners/managers who can't find every state on a map. $1M in revenue is not a very big company really.
Construction companies. Internet startups. Car dealerships. Probably lots more I'm sure.
I know that 2 of my partners couldn't LOL.
FWIW, almost all the business owners I know are NOT super sophisticated or educated, or even very good at "business". Most just are really good at whatever industry they are in, and have partners or employees or service providers that manage the "business" things.
Even those pesky little tiny ones in the New England area? Guess that's why my business doesn't do $1 million in revenue. Geography -- my kryptonite.Maybe it's just me but if you can't find every State in the Country on a map, you are not qualified to run any business with more than $1 million in revenue.
I want to say Deace got let go from The Jock, way back when, for stating what his pay rate was on the air. He had a mega popular afternoon show, and basically said that he made less than 10 bucks an hour. This was in like 2002 I think. I believe he was canned that day, and resurfaced at KXNO soon after.I remember when Steve Deace stepped away from his drive-time show on 1040 WHO ( 4 or 5 yrs ago??) , he stated at the time he was doing so because he didn’t believe there was a positive future in traditional radio.
