So they eliminated "Issues, Etc." from KFUO for financial reasons. Now a new "Issues, Etc." will be on the air elsewhere (KSIV 1320 in St. Louis). There are some ponderings as to whether the same line-up of guests will be on the show. True, nobody ever was told not to go on a radio program because it hadn't made enough money. If they had cancelled Don Imus for not making enough dough, would guests go on still if he started a new show? I can understand not going on because of his basketball comments. That's politically understandable.
Problem is with "Issues, Etc.," even IF the reason had been truly monetary, it is no longer. It has been dragged into the (church) political arena. I'm guessing that even those guests who were not in favor of its cancellation may not want to place themselves in a political spotlight because in this world, a vote FOR someone is equal to a vote AGAINST.
Bear in mind, I am not evaluating, I am merely stating.
