Sorry: my first response was stupid and I apologize.

The answer, though, is that *if* a 24-hour talk radio station archives
its broadcasts and posts them to the Web, and *if* that station wants to
claim conformance to WCAG 2.0, then yes, I want them to post
transcripts.  It's do-able.  NPR does it. Voice of America does it.

I know those aren't 24-hour talk radio stations. Nevertheless, I do
think those transcripts should be required *if* the station wants to
claim conformance.

No. Look at Example 8 in Wendy's proposal, please.

So you want 24-hour talk-radio stations to spend millions of dollars
every 
year posting transcripts several days after the fact?

How does this enhance accessibility?

Ask around. Online radio stations are not a priority for deaf people. 
Video is.
