It is good to know whom to boycott.
Netflx is the only one I had made much use of. Will no longer do so. And will let them know.
Well this list Yahoo provides is 43! So, what does the 28 sponsors figure represent?
ROFLOL!!....
Considering that many of them aren't true....You are doing what here?
Well I heard a Quicken loans ad on Rush’s show today
I haven’t heard of most of these companies!
When the smoke clears and they realize that they are losing business faster than Congress is losing approval and want to return to Rush’s show, I hope Rush puts them on a waiting list.
And, 5 years later, he may allow one of them to sponsor his show again.
Let's set this straight, put it in perspecive - in a short number of words directly from Rush today..
"Now, let me put this in further perspective for you, this number of 28 or 32, and then we're gonna move on to other things. Sponsors of our program are both nationwide companies, like Two If By Tea (my tea company), and local companies, like "Mike's Auto Body Repair" or a local bank. If we added up all of our affiliates (let's choose the number 600) and we assumed that each of those affiliates had 30 such sponsors in the course of our three-hour program, there might be -- all across this country -- as many as 18,000 different sponsors of this program. Let me put it another way: There might be 18,000 different people buying advertising within this program alone."
"That is a conservative number: 600 stations, 18 commercial minutes an hour. We take whatever we take to sell ourselves and the local station keeps the rest. They have local advertisers. You add up all those over the course of 600 stations, over three hours a day, five days a week, and we're talking 18,000 different sponsors, okay? ABC News, who understands how this works and are purposely misrepresenting it, is out there ballyhooing that we have lost 28 sponsors. Twenty-eight sponsors out of 18,000! That's like losing a couple of french fries in the container when it's delivered to you at the drive-thru. You don't even notice it. If we lose 28 of those sponsors, the majority of them being in one city or another out of 18 thousand, it's a sad occurrence."
Rush also said advertisers that did leave are trying to get back on! One, 'desperately.'
Some of these are local ad buys... there are 18,000 unique ad buys ever day on stations that carry Rush.
LLS
I said this yesterday .
These look like a few local radio ad list but for a massive show like Rush which has over 10,000 ads which rotate or they don’t renew .
It’s meaningless .
The list iand story are bogus as the Obama media and media matters .
Clearly, you don't undertand how it works either.
And I'll not be so kind as to explain it to you.
