WMAL is the #1 radio station in the DC market for the first time in decades! Take a look at the Nielsen radio ratings for April 2020! (And many in media have said in the past that a conservative news talk station would NEVER make it in a city and region like Washington, DC!)

Congratulations to WMAL -- Mary Walter, Vince Cogliniese, Larry O'Connor, Chris Plante, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro, John Batchelor.

That’s a big deal, folks.

Strangely positive.

I listen online from Florida.
Does that count?

[jimfree]

First among all DC radio. Awesome.

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

I listen online from Florida. Does that count?

That counts towards the Streaming Online numbers. The DC region numbers are a HUGE DEAL!!

I’ve been listening for 60 years... just sayin ...

I hope that is a leading indicator that the Obungholes are migrating out of Northern Virginia and we may once again reclaim the Old Dominion

For those of you not having lived in the DC/NOVA/MD area, to quote Creepy Joe Biden...”This is a big Effing deal.”

[matt04]

That’s impressive, especially looking at how much the numbers have increased compared to every other station.

I wonder if it has anything to do with Rush, and working from home. 30 years ago, I would do lunch in my car to listen to Rush.

Now everyone is working from home - more opportunities to listen to Rush; and he mentioned recently HIS numbers are up

[Ouchthatonehurt]

Awesome- just listening!
Mark Levin on at 6pm and he’s been on fire past couple of days.

People are at home & sick & tired of this lockdown -- and the only voice of reason about the realities of this pandemic is talk radio, hence, WMAL in DC.

It also speaks to Trump's popularity. The numbers are HUGE (see on link above), so for these numbers to come up in such a liberal city and surrounding liberal areas of DC, it's just BIG BIG BIG NEWS!

John Bachelor is the best. He interviews guests very well...One learns so much about the rest of the world and his interviews and book discussions about history are great...

Have listened during morn and evening drive times for the past 30 years..Funny, first time I heard of the FISA court was during the Clinton years on MAL. Chris Core used to do evening drive and he interviewed Jonathon Turley about the FISA court.

Now everyone is working from home - more opportunities to listen to Rush; and he mentioned recently HIS numbers are up

A few years ago, Rush said his numbers were really high and they were 27 Million.

This past week he said the numbers were through the roof at 43 million.

That is a 59% increase in just a coupla years.

I started listening to Rush in 1988, and the first few months he was only on the weekend {repeat of week days} on KQV in Pittsburgh, but he got picked up live a few months later and shot to the top of charts, and in 32+ years, no one has ever been close.

Those stats are only beaten by the Ford F 150 which has been number 1 for 42 years.

Both are amazing records.

Okay, I’m trying to remember the name of a host from Baltimore maybe? that passed away a few years ago. Really liked him.

Congrats WMAL!

[Fair Paul]

Would that be Tom Marr on WCBM?
