Rush Limbaugh Off Air in Philadelphia
byscottiex2
Limbaugh has been a mainstay on the CBS owned station in Philadelphia for at least 20 years.
Today he was replaced by Michael Smerconish with the intro "forget the anger, reason is back".
I called the station manager to confirm that it was in fact a permanent and to congratulate him on his public service.
This is one station, but it is a major market that is replacing hate speech one
program at a time. Hannity was dropped last year.
Of course it is all about money and proof that the boycott worked.

I could be mistaken, but I thought they were crowing about this a few weeks ago, and it turned out that he moved to another station.

8. I don't think he's off the air there
Earlier reports said he was just moving from the AM station to an FM one (WKDN 106.9 FM).
Yep, I thought so. :rotf:
Hey DUmmies did you catch that he is moving from AM to FM? :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

25. Does anyone read the threads
they post on I wonder? He is only switching stations as reported back in April, he is not going anywhere. geeessh.... He probably adjusted his contract and got a bonus for it.
Nope, they don't read the threads. They want this to be true so badly that they ignore it when anyone contradicts the claim with facts. :lmao:
Other than 3 or 4 spoilsports the rest are celebrating. :rotf:
Poor DUmmies.

Hey kpete,
:nelson:

But, but, but, the Rush boycott worked. And, I'd love to see the #'s for some of the advertisers that bailed. I used to use Pro Flowers and Shari's Berries at least a couple of times per year, but no more.

Smerconish used to be a worthwhile listen. Then he went off like the LGF guy.

Hannity used to claim that there were phonies in conservative talk radio. I wonder if Smerconish is who he was referring to.

THIS JUST IN!!!!
Philadelphia station owned by CBS has serious loss of ratings. Ad rates plummet and station put up for sale in last ditch effort to recover any investment.

A related note: those stations that picked up Huckabee as a Rush competitor have not seen the ratings they were expecting either.

The station that plays Huckabee here has him on @ 6:00pm, right after Hannity. They used to have Dennis Miller on at that time.
Their ratings have gone DOWN in that time slot.

Rush is like Santa Claus...he's everywhere...just turn the dial.... :-)

I heard Beck make the same claim once...though I think he was referring to Ed Schultz.

Major fail, kpete.

They look seriously deranged over there. A couple of people say, "HE JUST MOVED TO ANOTHER STATION PEOPLE." All the other lunatics are dancing around as if Rush had shuffled off this mortal coil. Oblivious, as usual. Good, that's just how I like em.

Doesn't look like it has anything to do with being with Rush or not (there was actually a share price uptick from early March to April, when all this went down with the advertisers), but it looks like Carbonite at least is toast. They're on a not-so-slow slide to the pennies. I sure as hell would never have used them anyway--like I'm going to give all my files to a bunch of strangers! The whole idea was stupid. People should just back up their own hard drives.

Kpete............................ :rofl:
One other thing, I'd LOVE the DUmmies to point out, with examples, the "hate speach*" of Rush.
Not holding my breath.
*DUmmie speeling.
-
Wineslob, they also speak of him screaming. I have never heard Rush scream, or to my recollection, raising his voice even.

Now Mark Lavin, on the other hand, I love his rants. I keep picturing the SNL bits with Belushi & Jane doing the news.

Hi5. I was gonna post the same thing. If I ever hear Mark talking softly for more than just a sentence or two, I would be quite concerned...

Not only that, but the software is free or low cost at many web sites.

Yay!! Just listened to Beck and Rush on FM here (had some errands to run at lunch) on 106.9 WWIQ, operating out of Fishtown (Philly) and Camden -- GREAT signal!! I'm so psyched . . . I was having to try to get 770 AM from NYC and that's pretty iffy this far down in South Jersey. Beck is on 9 to noon, then Rush noon to 3, then Hannity 3-6.
Woo-hoo, my new favorite station! :yahoo:
-
Cool.
I finally found the AM setting on the radio in my car. :thatsright:
-
Even better, on July 2nd, the Mark Levin show starts at 6pm -- the day is complete!! :yahoo:

Just curious, but how long have you had the car. I took about two months to figure my radio out.
-
About a month.

About a month.
Twice as good as me. It wouldn't be that way if radios were still made by Lucas.
-

Levin is on the same time here, on the drive home commute. I wish he was on in the am, that would sure wake me up!
:-)
-
They replaced Michael Savage's silly ass with Mark Levin here earlier this year.
It's a welcome change.

Mike had some good points but, he was purt near as crazy as Ron Paul.

I usually have Bill Bennett on during my AM commute; he's good but the lowest of low-key guys, for sure. Levin would be a great wake-up!

Same times here for WGY, which broadcasts on 810 AM and 103.1 FM simultaneously.
-
Bennett in the morning would put me back to sleep.
That sounds like a great lineup, NJP. But but but...kpete said he was off the air!!
770 used to be my station when I lived in CT. Anybody catch the Joan Hamberg show? She's such the yenta. :lmao:
-
I get Beck, Rush, and Hannity on FM WFLA 100.7 here in Tallahassee. Rush is also carried on a local AM station from Cairo, GA.

We had that whole great lineup for the longest time on WPHT 1210 but they decided to go "centrist" :whatever: and dump everyone. I'm pretty sure the only good ratings they get any more are from Phillies games. There's NewsTalk 990 with Bennett, Mike Gallagher, Dennis Prager, Michael Medved and Hugh Hewitt but it's just not the same!

Lucas!
You're shitting me, right?
Everything I ever drove/owned with Lucas ANYTHING on it would short out within 20 feet of a damp spot in the road!

I got XM in my car, I listen to Mike Church in the morning (though he sometimes gets on my nerves), Beck, and Hannity.
I'm able to get Rush on a local AM station, Mark Levin on the computer streaming from WMAL in DC.

Well, if you had had a LUCAS starter, you would have had to worry about shorting out.... you have to get 'em started before they can short out due to dampness.

Yes.
Lucas heart of darkness. I still have a can of Lucas replacement smoke someone gave me as a gift when I had a Brit car.

I've been driving my car every day and haven't had any problems. I may have a sticking thermostat, though, and I'm pretty sure I need a serious tune-up.

Wasn't the Lucas slogan "Lucas, we invented darkness".

I switch between the replays of O'Reilly, Hannity, and Greta on Fox Talk, and Mike. And for a hoot, listen to a few minutes of Alex (the foul mouth) leftist on the Left channel. But I do agree with you, Mike can be a bit much at times when he gets into his anti-government rants.
-

I had my fill of Lucas when we owned an International B-414 tractor. 12V POSITIVE ground, and good luck finding replacement parts for the starter. On the brighter side, at least it was a diesel.
We switched everything over to 12V negative ground when the generator finally quit, replaced everything with Delco.

The last time I listened to XM Left was when Air America was still on the air. Caught a little of Al Franken's show.
Worst 15 seconds of my life. :lmao:

I take it you have not tried 15 seconds of "The Cycle". Just imagine Roseanne Barr scratching fingernails on a chalkboard. Even SE Cupp cannot salvage that partisan piece of pink slime. IMHO.

I haven't watched 15 milliseconds of MESSNBC, let alone "The (Menstrual) Cycle.
You have a guy on there named Toure, for heavens sake! That has "EPIC FAIL" written all over it.
