I wonder if local stations make anything at all from running Coast. I listen to it on various stations via TalkStreamsLive.com, usually KLIF out of Dallas and I never hear any local commercials. I think the benefit to them by running Coast is that radio listeners especially older people are creatures of habit, they listen to Coast, fall asleep and wake up to the radio on whatever local station they listen to Coast on. That's how it is for me, I wake up and KLIF is on, I listen to the news/banter for a while, then get up to begin the day and turn to the Buffalo all sports station because I'm a lifelong fan of Buffalo sports teams, a horrible situation - sometimes I check out Bernie and Sid on WABC, I miss Don Imus, who literally was dying on air his last couple of years on air - it was amazing, Imus would just disappear from the show at any point and Bernie and Sid would take over 'The I-Man was having trouble breathing' 'Ambulance came and picked up Imus'
