With strong growth driven by the leading voices in the conservative space and a daily selection of the most relevant conservative content, Rare has surpassed initial performance targets. "We have revised upward our yearly targets based on the success to date," said Leon Levitt, publisher. "By giving today's conservatives what they want, we are succeeding ahead of expectations." The site is hiring at all levels to meet the demands of growth.
Rare promised a fuller range of the conservative conversation and has delivered original content, high-profile exclusives and story packages that have brought more people into the conservative dialogue. The site content has attracted viewers most other conservative outlets miss: 48% of viewers are women, and the fastest growing viewer base is 35-44 year olds.
Because of Rare's early success these viewers can expect new features and more content sooner than originally planned.
Rare Radio features the voices and viewpoints of Neal Boortz, Herman Cain and Erick Erickson. Made richer by signature "Rare Takes" from Rare editors and contributors, Rare Radio gives listeners context to share in their daily conversations.

"We developed and launched Rare to meet America's growing demand for a broad range of interesting, easily findable center-right news and lifestyle content," said Levitt. "Everyday, we work to provide our readers conservative content that addresses the issues they believe in and care about most. It is amazing to see more than 1.5 million people in one week appreciate what we are doing."
