Expansion from redirect

This article was converted to a redirect to Talk radio in 2007, where there's no sourced discussion of call screeners. So I restored, expanded, and cited this [1]. I elected not to expand Call screening, because that seems to be unrelated and focused on telecom devices and technology. Discuss? --Lexein (talk) 03:05, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good to me. I've added hatnotes to both articles and there appear to be plenty more source in existence for expansion, e.g., this. Good work.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 23:46, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oooo, nice book. Thanks. --Lexein (talk) 00:14, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@Lexein: Not sure how to weave it in but this could have a selection about bias, or predilections or selectivity or...not sure how to couch it but this source indicates that on most shows, the bias is to avoid anyone over 50, anyone who might make the host look bad, that most shows are looking for people who are going to agree with the host (which is more prevalent when the host is a conservative), that male callers are more than twice as likely than female callers to be put through, and that when those who are female and/or over 50 make it onto the air, they often get less on air time than males and those under 50.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 03:38, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Good one! --Lexein (talk) 07:30, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
