Controversy Over Listings
Apparently Talonian Productions, the company which syndicates his show refuses to divulge a list of radio stations which carry the show, to the extent that they will not even allow such a list to be posted on the Doctor's official web site. There appears to be a strong consensus that this is due to some variety of short-sighted self-interest on their part, but it is not at all clear how they benefit (even in the short term) from this policy.
