Ron Paul Coast to Coast

But you don't do things that furthers that image problem

At some point you embrace the "problem" and turn it into a positive. Its a bigger audience than he is gonna get on any tv station outside o'reilly's tv show. And with a paul-fan as the host.

3 million weekly listeners does not mean that 3 million people are listening at any given time. In radio a weekly listener is defined as someone who listens to the program for a time period at least once per week.

And? Thats a huge audience. And as you must know, estimating listeners for a show such as that is fairly difficult. Its got one of the widest reaches of all shows. There is almost knowhere in the US that you can go and not be able to find it on the radio dial.

Actually it is not a huge audience. Depending on the day and time the audience could be less than one hundred thousand at any given time.

As I said radio is computed different that TV. Use Rush for comparison. His shows has 15 million weekly listeners. If there were 15 million people listening to Rush all at the same time, that would mean that his radio program has as many listeners as American Idol (the number 1 program on TV last week) had viewers. Listenership of a radio program at any given segment of time, is substantially lower than television. That is why it is so much cheaper to advertise on radio than on TV, and the reason why Rush's major sponsors are Sherry's Berries and Vermont Teddy Bear and not Ford, Coke & Pepsi.

Trust me, that if Paul went on Coast to Coast more people would see the news report that Paul is on a radio show that also interviews time travelers, than people that would have actually listened to the broadcast.

Let's compare it to shows that Paul can actually get on for a fair interview, shall we?

I used Limbaugh's show for an illustration of how radio ratings work. The point being that even though Rush's show is the number one talk radio show, his listenership at any given segment of time is significantly smaller than the 15 million people that may tune in for 15 minutes per week.

Radio ratings are complied as follows. When they do the surveys they ask people to name shows that they listen to for at least a 15 minute segment per week. So if someone listens to Coast to Coast for 15 minutes on Friday night then they are added into the total of "weekly listeners". Part of the reason Coast to Coasts numbers appear to be high is that the show is on for 28 hours per week. Compare that to a show like "The Prairie Home Companion" which has 4 million weekly listeners, but is only on for 2 hours per week.

Please, you wouldnt hear one peep about it in the mainstream news. maybe on the blogs of haters; but those people already hate paul and not going on c2c won't change a damn thing about that.

Anything that the media can use against Paul they will. Paul's image is already suffering, the campaign needs to do everything it can to repair that damage.

So to conclude, the show is far outside of mainstream thought and it has a relatively small audience. I see no benefit from going on the show. It certainly is not going to be the game changer that we need for Paul to start winning some primaries.

Yeah, we just disagree. I don't think the show can hurt and I think there is a net benefit from reaching a large number of listeners in a widespread radio show with a captive audience (nothing else to change the channel to) with a host that has always had nothing but good things to say about the doc.

As far as getting him on the show, it is up to the campaign. C2C would have Paul on the show anytime he asked, I'm positive of it.

THanks for the links.

Emailed him!!

They're going to flame Ron Paul for anything and everything, regardless of how hard we "try" to mitigate the situation. Try in quotes, because we can't do a damn thing about what Ron says or does at the end of the day. We're already tin-foil-hat-wearing, marijuana-loving, founding-father-worshipping, batshit crazy conspiracy theorists according the MSM, and that seems to be the word on the internet, too, if you ever bring yourself to read Fox news or HuffPo comments sections. I'm tired of trying to fight every little PR slip-up. It's futile. No matter how hard you try, something will slip through the cracks. The only way to get the media to stop smearing Ron Paul is to have Ron Paul drop out of the race.

I guess I'm also annoyed at the political correctness of some people. I consider myself to be an intelligent, critically thinking individual and I have come to believe that there is definitely a government coverup when it comes to unidentified flying aircraft, or an agenda to make us believe there's a coverup (for reasons unknown). The documentary, "I Know What I Saw" showcases highly credible people, such as former pilots, military members and even the governor of a state where there were hundreds of sightings of the same aircraft. To me, it is no coincidence that people who allow for possibilities outside of what they were taught in school support Ron Paul. So, sooo sorry for examining evidence and saying that something is possible. Just like I believed Ron Paul when he said that violence begets more violence, based on the evidence. See, the thing about people like me is, I would also say that a conspiracy theory is bullshit, if I saw sufficient evidence. Unfortunately, the government lies...a lot. NIST won't release its WTC7 collapse model because it'd be a "threat to national security" ... Yeah, that's the kind of stuff I'm talking about.

"Be open-minded about Ron Paul, close-minded about everything else" is essentially what a lot of people on this forum preach. I detest that. More power to him if he gets on C2C. Not that the informed listeners need any more convincing that Ron Paul is our last hope.

 

[impaleddead]

Lol arguing when he's ALREADY been on the show. Besides he does AJ all the time, they've already tried the associate paul with conspiracy theorists approach and it didn't work. Just like none of their other attack angles don't work. Get your panties up in a bunch over ratings? You think most people are up in the middle of the night or do they listen the next day. C2C has a massive audience despite what the numbers say, even my mom knows what c2c is.

The fact of the matter is that coast to coast is quickly proving the main stream to be the alternative as far as relevant news and events go. This initself scares the main stream to death.


Here's a quick overview of exactly the kind of guests who frequent the show. This short list taken from the science section alone. Take a look at some of these names. Look at their credentials. Science, Space & Technology These are PHD's in their perspective fields.

That's just the science section of frequent guests. There are many other areas of topic which are discussed.

Won't hurt anything at all to simply send an email. Takes 10 seconds. Paul has done the show before and I still believe they do a much better job on reporting current events than msm. Which is why they blow them away in ratings, I think.

FWIW, these kinds of disagreements are why the generational gap that exists between Libertarian voters actually exists. Folks may not get that but it is why.

To look at that list of guests from the science section and to see Names like Buzz Aldrin who took the time to come on and explain exactly where we are headed in the space program is telling of which generation are often overlooked by the current generation of know it all squirts. Generally speaking, of course. Not picking on anyone, per se.

All i'm asking is that we stop trying to run over there and pick up one of those marbles. Just walk over there and pick up the whole pile. You'd be surprised at what can happen.

Dude, you got your stupid retarded stats from a neocon wesbite....

Second of all, Fox/CNN interviews crazies all the freaking time...I mean they have ghost hunters show on some TV stations....

The 3 million figure is from 2006. Coast to coast reaches at least 10 million people. This is the second most popular show in United States next to Limbaugh.

 

[Natural Citizen]

There's always a Fox in the henhouse somewhere.


Why do you think that is? Oh, yes. There is a reason...

 

[Natural Citizen]

That is a bigger audience than 90% of 24hour news programs on foxnews, msnbc, cnn,etc. And it would be with a very friendly host/interviewer.

Coast blows all of them out of the water. And they know it. Which is why you'll not hear a peep from them.

 

[Jingles]

I'd love to see Ron Paul dressed up as Space Ghost.

Yes, but you still have to send them email to get them moving on it. It's about ratings to them (Clear Channel Communications). Not a voice for anything in particular. They act upon that which their audience asks. That's the truth of the matter.

I wouldn't say it if I didn't know it to be true.

Regardless though, I should be doing other things than trying to convince folks of the relevance of millions of willing ears so I'll just leave the thread be. If anyone else understands the madness in my method then please bump it up once in a while during the next few days. Thanks.

If the Paul campaign advertised that Paul would be on Coast to Coast on XX/XX/XXXX it would probably draw in an abnormally large crowd.

It's amazing how many people think that a radio interview on a nationally recognized show could have a negative effect. Like I have said so many times in this thread already, if Paul focuses on the economy and the FED it will be a home run! There is no other alternative if he wants to reach that large of a audience for that long a period of time with such a strong supporter for a host!

IT. WONT. HAPPEN.!

The time to do this is before Super Tuesday! The nice thing about a four hour show would be the ability to better know the candidate as a human being instead of a candidate as well.

 

[Natural Citizen]

Coulda, woulda, shoulda.....

 

[JimmyD]

Are you crazy? That type of show is absolute trash and only dumbs down people. It's disgusting the trash they spew, just look into Shadow People. I put it on the same level as John Edwards. All they do is prey upon the weak minded and give these fantastical explanations with no evidence. This would be political suicide to be associated with that (fill in the blank).

ooooo are you serious,don't think Dr.Paul would ever endorse those kinds of words my friend,you most likely either are very "dumbed down"yourself,or just your basic "meathead".You just insulted millions of Ron Paul supporters,your not helping my friend.There are other things in "our world" that help to bring the right people into power,Being non prejudiced to C2C listener's and others who live on the same planet as you,is one way.
