I think it is more interesting to look at the situation from the other direction, as roachboy has hinted. If Philly's market (like NYC's) is overwhelmingly democratic (sympathetic to liberal causes?), then why isn't this theoretical demand reflected in the media?

I have to agree with this statement. In this area the demand was and is there for some liberal radio. However, the Radio America station was a low wattage station that static was heard more than the station. They had signs all over advertising it and people wanted it, but the bandwidth was shit.
If it had been or was on a better amplified station, they may have had more loyal listeners here. They put too much into advertising the commodity here, but not enough money into making sure the commodity had quality (i.e. bandwidth frequency).
But that is just the example here
