Talkers magazine lists their Heavy Hundred of 2005, which they claim to be a list of the "100 Most Important Radio Talk Show Hosts in America." The list includes a slew of hosts that I've never heard of (Blute & Scotto???), some baffling selections (Randi Rhodes???), and a few names that local listeners will recognize (Joe Soucheray and Jason Lewis).
But it's probably most notable for a couple of critical absences. No Hugh Hewitt and no Dennis Prager. Huh? Are they really trying to claim that Arlene Violet from Rhode Island (described as a "household name in the Ocean State" and lauded as a "consistent performer") is more important that either of the nationally syndicated Salem talk hosts? Puh-leaze.
