Page "Dr. Demento" Paragraph 12

In 2000, Hansen formed Talonian Productions to syndicate the show himself.

According to Hansen, the show steadily lost advertisers, and as such, he had to restructure the distribution of the show from the usual barter system to a system in which stations pay a rights fee for the program ( though he apparently made exceptions in some major markets, such as WLUP in Chicago ).

He stated in October 2007 that " unless the show's financial situation changes soon, I will be unable to continue the show much longer.

" After approximately two and a half years, and no significant change in the show's financial situation, the Dr. Demento official website announced on June 6, 2010 that the show that aired that weekend would be the final broadcast in the terrestrial radio version ; however, new episodes of the online streaming version would still continue to be produced for the foreseeable future, with new episodes posted every Saturday.

In addition, according to the site, "... by special agreement and due to contractual considerations, a version of the internet show will be heard weekly on KACV-FM ( in Amarillo, Texas ), at least through the summer.

" The show was removed from KACV-FM in January 2011.
