Who Should Replace Jim Polito on WTAG?

The most controversial talk show host in Worcester radio - Jim Polito - has left for Fox25 in Boston. Now, its your chance to vote for some of the leading candidates to replace Polito.

In the post rush Limbaugh's rant against Sandra Fluke, the talk radio platform has been under greater analysis and a big loss in advertising revenue. Many advertisers dropped advertising on talk format after the controversy.

According to Access4Atlanta, "News/talk and sports talk stations on the AM dial have seen their audiences age and slip away. Radio companies with sinking AM signals have been adding FM simulcast signals to bolster their collective audiences."

The demographic of most AM talk radio shows are male, 50 plus years of age who consider themselves to be politically conservative.

Your turn - who should replace Polito?
