LIMBAUGH SIGNS THROUGH 2016; $400 MILLION DEAL SHATTERS BROADCAST RECORDS (http://www.drudgereport.com)

**Exclusive**
The American broadcast industry is rocked, realigned and blasted into a new orbit, yet again, by Rush Limbaugh, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
In what is being described as an unprecedented radio contract, Limbaugh will keep his syndicated show on-the-air and e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e through 2016 with CLEAR CHANNEL and PREMIERE RADIO.
Already host of the most lucrative hours since radio's inception, Limbaugh's total package is valued north of $400 million, according to media insiders.
The NEW YORK TIMES will claim this weekend that Limbaugh, marking 20 years this summer as a national host, has secured a 9-figure signing bonus for the new deal, newsroom sources tell DRUDGE.
In its controversial profile, the TIMES reports that Limbaugh is buying a new G550 jet and is making an estimated $38 million a year.
While newspapers and traditional broadcast media are experiencing declining revenues, Limbaugh's golden microphone has turned diamond-laced:
Earnings now pace him ahead of the annual salaries for network news anchors: Katie Couric, Brian Williams, Charlie Gibson and Diane Sawyer — combined!
The deal represents a stunning triumph over the establishment by an outsider who connected with and captured the spirit of the nation's heartland.

I thought about asking her, but she's busy. Lunch rush is here and she's using all of her radio skills to ask the folks at the drive-thru window if they want to super-size that?

Potential: $66
Important Note:
It seems that this website has a lot of traffic, but not alot of web recognition. This probably means that it get a lot of direct traffic (bookmarks). This can be good. It may also indicate that all traffic is paid for. In such a case, we would estimate this website real worth to be no more than $10
Looks like Randi has reached the big time!

but but but...I thought americans were sick of the Conservative Right?? :whatever:

Not bad for a guy who's been fired 5 or 6 times in his career. Rush has also been the Godfather of conservative talk radio and has made it a large medium and paved the way for the likes of Hannity, Mark Levin, Glenn Beck and so on. He deserves every damn penny he's getting.

While I'm sure he's going to earn a very pretty penny or 2 off the deal don't forget that all the operating expenses, along with the salaries of the staff of his show comes out of that 400M kitty.
