[[WMG: Cheers and Frasier are set in two separate universes]]
During Cheers, Frasiers family was portrayed very differently to Frasier, like he implied his Family had a fortune, he was an only child, his father was a dead research scientist, there has also been mention of a line hester said in cheers where she mentions Frasier's father being dead that was cut in re-syndication. His personality on cheers is different to the one on Frasier, and that in a Flashforward in Season 10, Lilith is Said to be frasiers wife, while in Frasier they're divorced with no intent to get back together. So there's two universes at play, the cheers universe (Wherein Frasier is from Boston, His father is a dead research scientist, his mother is cold, he's an only child, his personality is laid back, and he's from a family of fortune) and the Frasier universe, which is well, what we see in Frasier.

* it's possible the reason why Frasier's friends don't visit often is because the airline tickets are too expensive, or they visit offscreen.

offscreen, Frasier visits Boston to see Frederick quite a lot in the series as well, it's possible he sees his friends as well while in Boston.

** Also, the fact that she doesn't catch onto the suggestive statements doesn't necessarily mean she isn't into Niles herself, it just means she doesn't think it's possible for Niles to be into her. It's also possible, as OP mentioned, that she does catch onto some or most of them but later re-interprets them in her head, telling herself she's reading his actions incorrectly and engaging in wishful thinking.

Outside of these moments, Frasier's advice is trite and little better than an agony aunt. It's clear that the people of Seattle only listen to Frasier's show because it's SoBadItsGood. Frasier's ego is just too big to realise it.

[[WMG:People only listen to Frasier's radio show because of how bad it is.]]
Frasier's KACL radio show is said to be immensely popular (at least in Seattle) but what we see of it is a total train wreck. Over the series his listeners would have heard the following:
* Frasier advising an insomniac to "just sleep on it."
* Breathing heavily down the phone to a woman worried about a stalker.
* Telling a sailor to come out of the closet and a gay guy to spend more time at the docks.
* Pressing the echo button every time he wanted to mute himself.
* Screaming loudly in terror when Diane showed up.
* Pleading with Rudy the crier to just stop crying.
* Declaring proudly that he "was not a man." (He got cut off mid-sentence, but still)
* Devoting a whole show to smutty sex chat.
* Opening his show with "me and my stupid advice!"
* Telling everyone that a congressmen believes he was abducted by aliens.
* Convincing a gas station clerk that his radio was talking to him.
* Desperately pleading with his listener's to stop setting their neighour's lawns on fire and mailing live scorpions to each other.
* Plus the drama with Mary, Dr. Nora, Carlos & the Chicken and Bulldog, and the complete farces of "Nightmare Inn" and "Button & Bows"
