Did KWTO Shoot the Conservative Animal?

The talk on Facebook is that KWTO canceled the Conservative Animal radio show. The show featured the failed Congressional candidate from Southwest Missouri who still lives at home with his parents.

It gets better, a Facebook discussion on the host, Tom Stilson, led to this comment.

Billy Long? Or what about a lack of interest and few listeners as KWTO's Arbitron ratings remain in the toilet? Billy Long isn't the nicest of men, but he knows all he has to do now is put his name on the ballot and he will be reelected. Why would he be concerned about a child living at home with mom and dad throwing fits on the radio? I doubt Billy Long had anything to do with Stilson losing the gig at KWTO despite Stilson allegedly pointing fingers at Congressman Long.

The Conservative Animal obviously doesn't understand simple free market principles. Advertisers want to spend money on shows that actually attract listeners and bring in customers. This probably had a whole lot less to do with Billy Long and more to do with the fact that Morning Line host as KWTO has become a revolving door of talkers who don't know how to draw in listeners to bring in ad revenue, and Stilson doesn't appear to be the exception.

Really, if it wasn't for Rush Limbaugh, who also has problems bringing in advertisers as well on KWTO--see Spatula City and the Barnacle Brothers 60 Second Sale--would this station even matter anymore?

Look, if Tom Stilson wanted to be successful in radio and if he had the talent to do conservative talk radio, he would have attempted to go where there was listeners. You know, KSGF, where Nick Reed rules the morning airwaves as KSGF pulls in some respectable Arbitron numbers. But this kid burns bridges everywhere he treads, and KSGF isn't an exception.

It is interesting the Conservative Animal may not be teaching a conservative lesson in this chapter as the show goes off the air as I am hearing he is playing the victim and blaming everyone else for his most recent failure.

Au Revoir Tom Stilson from the Ozark's Airwaves... There's always Blogtalk.
