I am told he's the second most popular conservative talk show. I don't know where that falls in. The first two are Shultz and Franken. They are more on the progressive side, no doubt about that. The third one you mention is on the conservative side, I guess. I don't know that so I cannot speak authoritatively on that. I don't know how that balance works out after that. I don't know. I know my information--and it is really secondhand; I can't say this firsthand--is that the ``Ed Shultz Show'' was contacted to be on. Then he was recontacted saying that he was not to be on. And it is sort of in kind of a state of limbo now. I don't understand what that is all about.
