This intolerance of opposing views is one of the reasons you got beat. The people in the middle were thrilled to see someone who wasn't afraid to listen to the views of even known bigots. For a radio station to have to dedicate a small portion of time to an opposing view shouldn't be a big deal. If you're so sure you're right about an issue, then shouldn't your position hold up alongside an opposite view?

I didnt get beat. The GOP did. As a American citizen i am deeply concerned that the ruling party has decided to get involved with content of the media. I would support starting wars with the entire European union over govt invlovement of the information flow. Obviously there are some things that need to be controlled such as national security and such but i have a hard time seeing how conservative radio is somehow altering the landscape enough to involve govt oversight of content other than obscenity rules.
This is not a left/right issue at the core. The residual effects are that politics are certainly involved but this is a freedom of speech/govt interference issue. Anyone who doesnt see it as such simply isn't looking hard enough.
