Rawlco Radio's 'John Gormley' show panders for the Saskatchewan Party

I continue to wonder what the motivation is for Rawlco Radio owner, Gord Rawlinson, to continue with the money losing, ratings deprived 'John Gormley Live' radio call in show. The daily right wing call in show is obviously intended to slam Saskatchewan's NDP and to praise up the Brad Wall administration.

I wrote on December 30th about the dismal, basement dwelling ratings that NewsTalkRadio and Gormley rack up. Here is a little snap shot of how bad the show is. Gormley was back on the radio waves this morning after a week away for Christmas and New Year. You would think that after his absence, his 'fans' would be chaffing at the bit to call in to the show. Not really! Here is the show's stats for the first hour of Gormley's return:

9:07 - Gormley opens the call line
9:15 - 1st caller (whines about SGEU)
9:25 - 2nd caller (not happy with Regina garbage pickup)
9:39 - 3rd caller (not happy with Saskatoon garbage pickup)
9:43 - 4th caller (unhappy with snow removal at bus stops)
9:45 - 5th caller (wants private liquor stores)
9:54 - 6th caller (mad at a contractor for messing up his basement)
9:57 - 7th caller (hates icy Victoria Ave in Regina)

In the long spaces between callers, Gormley monologues endlessly. During the first hour he tried to get the calls to come in by:
-praising Brad Wall
-slamming NDP Leader Dwain Lingenfelter
-insisting that George Bush isn't a dummy
-telling people that Harper is wonderful and Ignatieff and Bob Rae are terrible

Gormley also managed to promote his own book with 3 shameless plugs.

That's show business I guess!
