You may be right, Larry. All-comedy formats have been tried plenty of times before and have never caught on...yet.
But for those of us rooting for AM radio's survival (and on this list, that's all of us, I think), it seems to me we *should* be rooting for quirky formats like this to succeed.
Remember that the "staple" formats that have kept AM aloft for the last couple of decades, sports and talk, are increasingly migrating to FM. (We just got another example of that in Boise yesterday, where Citadel pulled the plug on top-40 KZMG 93.1, flipping it to a simulcast of sports KTIK 1350.)
So anything like this that's more than just giving up and simulcasting with an FM or leasing time out to doller-a-holler programmers is probably a good thing, at least compared to where AM radio could be going elsewhere.
