I guess I don't understand what "localism" radio has be thriving on? You mean, 
the occasional traffic and weather? Yes, but that's mostly inserted into a 
non-local program, isn't it?
 
One thing one often hears is that radio has been thriving on so-called "talk 
radio" shows, but they are hardly local.
 
In the DC market, we do have one radio station that I would classify as being 
local, with news, weather, and traffic. Most of the content is indeed local. 
But that's only one station in the market.
