Maybe the reason why Jerry Kieschnick is threatening to sue Todd Wilken and Jeff Schwarz is because Pirate Christian Radio's broadside against KFUO AM has left the LCMS's radio station dead in the water and Ablaze™.
According to Quantcast, Pirate Christian Radio's internet traffic in the U.S. is substantially higher than KFUO AM's. In fact, since PCR's launch on June 30, 2008 KFUO AM has never had a day where their web traffic has exceeded that of Pirate Christian Radio's. The graphic below from Quantcast tells the story.
Furthermore: Pirate Christian Radio broadcasts on the Live 365 radio network. PCR competes with 288 other talk radio stations in the Live 365 network. Live 365 ranks all of its stations on a daily basis and just two weeks after Pirate Christian Radio launched it broke into the top ten and has never left.

Drat. Outdone by UFO Paranormal Radio again. We'll get you next time, you space aliens you.

The question that I would like answered is "How much revenue did KFUO loss when the LCMS canceled IE?" Prior to their cancellation, I gave money to IE (KFUO). But when IE left, so did my money.

PCR is also #2 in the "sermons/services" rankings!

There are more listeners than this indicates. I get IE as a podcast on iTunes.

I subscribe to several podcasts of shows that air on PCR. Their programming is top notch!

I'm an international podcast listener. This is one of the problems in the KFUO statement about Issues, etc. after cancellation, a failure to think in New Media terms, rather than Old Media ones.
