Rush Limbaugh's receptionist

Buried deep in the comments on a Wednesday blog article http://www.bradblog.com/?p=10372 about the cancellation of the Randi Rhodes Show, a radio industry insider revealed the devastating impact of the 18 month-old StopRush movement on Rush Limbaugh's advertising power. attribution: None Specified The station employee confirms that the siege by online activists https://www.facebook.com/groups/flushrush/ has left Premiere Radio unable to attract legitimate advertisers to what was once radio's most lucrative advertising platform:

Uch. If you had any idea how much of my day is spent loading up PSAs and crappy MAB commercials to cover up the commercials of actual advertisers bailing from the Rush Limbaugh show. The only paying customers left are the flotsom and jetsom of the ad barrel; every scam website, colon blow medication, phony tax restoration outfits and erectile dysfunction herbs.

Premier isn't where a progressive talker wants to be anyway. They're becoming the bane of radio's existence.

Wednesday blog article http://www.bradblog.com/?p=10372 about the cancellation of the Randi Rhodes Show

Whoa! Whoa!

I know anything they say about Rush is rubbish, but this Rhodes woman is going off the air??

I thought she was like the most popular radio personality in the whole wide world.

She was personally responsible for the success of Air America, and is now the most beloved and believed radio host on the entire radio dial.

Right? DUmmies love her, although normal people could never pick her out from a lineup.

Now, she's not the one who did a drunken faceplant into a curb in New York. Right? Is that one still on the air?

It appears that randi rhodes is the one who is toast,  not Rush.

Typical DUmmy logic, Randi Rhodes gets fired and Rush is the one in trouble.

What is it with their obsession of getting Rush off the radio anyway? Notice conservatives don't try to get msnbc thrown off the air or any of the various lefty radio shows.

I've always felt MSNBC served the same purpose (on a national level) as the DUmpster does here.

Yeah.  I was going to ask the question:  The useless skidmark Rhodes is canned, but Limbaugh is toast?

Again?

So some anonymous poster made the comment that Rush in in trouble?  Damn I wonder what's on Twitter...

Libtards can't stand any disagreement in any form.  Libtards/fascists/commies/statists will stifle all dissent.

I'm thinking that all DUmmies bought radios that only get the station that Rush broadcasts on.

Ok so Clear Channel might or might not be able to get advertisers that Rush has to do on air reads for.

For all we know (pay attention lurkers) the anonymous "source" could either be a DUmmie or someone who works for CC that just doesn't care for Rush so he/she is making this up.

And the bottom line still...is the bottom line...for local radio stations.  This alleged "hit" that CC is taking has nothing to do with local advertising and the fact that it is still very strong.

Gotta go with the fellow Dragoon on this one.  On the local CC station (WGY 810 AM, 103.1 FM), they have advertisers after potential advertisers after hopeful potential advertisers waiting to get on a slot on Rush's or Hannity's (or Glenn Beck's, or Michael Berry's) shows.

That right there brings up another interesting point to kpete this fairy tale.  That's two seperate frequencies AM and FM that the same shows are broadcast on.  The sales department sells them seperately as two different advertising packages at two buy different rates.  So not only does the station have a fat revenue stream for the AM signal...they're able to double their profits from one show schedule by getting some of the advertisers to buy the FM signal at a different (higher) ad rate.
