I can only imagine how few people tuned into the SunTV show. These guys really overestimate the level of civic engagement among Ford Nation.
Ford Nation has zero civic engagement: Rob and Doug got elected and therefore they should stay in office and be exempt from criticism until it's time to vote. Remember how few Fordites showed up at the public consultations on cuts, and how there was no real counter-protest when people chalked up NPS last fall? To Ford Nation, being politically engaged aside from voting is only for professional protesters: un(der)employed downtown lefty elites and union types with too much time on their hands.
Also, they'll listen to the FoBros if it's as easy as turning on a radio or TV talkback show as background noise; sitting at a computer and pulling up a YouTube video (one that doesn't allow comments, no less) is less appealing.
