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.

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.

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.

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:
