Talk Stream Live (TSL) has issued the “The TSL Power 50 Report” — The 50 most influential and most listened-to streaming talk shows. The Power 50 includes the big personalities talk show fans would expect as well as some new media rising stars. 35 million listening sessions during 2021 were sampled to produce to this report. There are new top talk shows to report in more than a decade: #1 “Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis” and #2 Mark Levin.
Talk Right shows dominated the ratings, followed by the growing popularity of Paranormal themed programs. This is first time streaming numbers took a dip due to the perennial top two shows’ departures with the death of Rush Limbuagh and Michael Savage’s radio retirement. Also contributing: former President Trump’s out-of-office false election claims and ensuing capitol chaos. Plus, the looming and lingering pandemic.
