I love stats. They tell stories. Sometimes big ones. And you will see this blog frequently feature stats which might change your thinking on a subject. Here is one: The median age of Fox News' Bill O'Reilly viewers is now 72 as reported at the website Politico. Overall the average age for Fox is 68.8, MSNBC is at 62.5 and CNN at 62.8.

Sure seems to scream about systemic issues with political talk on TV. And the reason this is relevant is because Talk Radio is pretty much in the same boat when looking at average age.
