I Know How Local NPR, Glenn Beck, ESPN and Rush Affiliates Feel

While it's terrific to see a nationally-syndicated host active on the net, pulling his fans into his video content, I wish there was a way to do it through local affiliate websites and make sure that these network shows aren't replacing the relationship that still provides the bulk of their paychecks and gives them the reach with a direct connection to their listeners which replaces a consistent source of monitization with an unknown and less certain one.

If a national personality's online initiatives ultimately make their listeners stop using "radio" to hear, see, converse with them, what business are they in?
