When we featured Doug McIntyre’s Red Eye Radio show on our list of American’s Top Ten Local Talk Show Hosts, we said it was carried in 26 mostly dinky towns across the country.
We said, “Doug is nationally syndicated, but we bent the rules a little to include him on this list … he’s only in 26 markets and once you get past New York and Los Angeles you haven’t heard of most of them (places like Searcy, Arkansas, Show Lo, Arizona and Wahpeton, North Dakota).”
Doug sent an email to say, “We are actually on over 75 radio stations, including big markets like Boston, Houston, Detroit, Pittsburg, Portland, Miami, Orlando, Tampa Bay, San Antonio, Austin, Birmingham and on and on. Soon to start in San Diego.”
In our defense, well, we really have no defense except to say this is exactly the kind of slipshod journalism regular readers have come to expect from IHateTheMedia.com.
But to tell the truth, Doug is so damn good that it just plain makes sense that he’s on in a lot more than 26 markets.
If you missed this story, go back and listen to the hour of sweet, Red Eye goodness that was included.

I listen to wdbo every night. I am angred that wdbo cancelled one of their best "rusty humphries" and replaced him with slick smooth left wing Doug McIntyre.
You do realize Doug McIntyre was an Obama supporter in 2008, right? And it wasn't grudging either. I quit listening because I couldn't stand his on-air Obamagasms. He didn't just swoon for Obama, he actually berated any caller that didn't agree.
