I travel from Hollywood to farther counties and can easily reach the new station you mentioned. Normally do “not” listen to Rush because I’m already so far right there’s nothing he could say to sway me me any further.

It would be interesting to know what percentage of his current 10 to 15,000 square miles will be covered, now that he’s relegated to about 400 square miles on KEIB.

Rush should go satellite. He’d be pretty much untouchable and could do what he wants.

Terrestrial radio is its own worst enemy. The KFI signal in Los Angeles is weak as is the new Patriot KEIB at 1150am on the dial.

I stream Rush for the higher fidelity offered through iHeartRadio anywhere in the world. A lot of the local stations will break away from Rush for a local news event or Obama speeches and that makes streaming even a better choice. WLS 890am in Chicago will always interrupt Rush for Obama speeches.

I will never go satellite.

I am never going to give my money to support all those leftwing channels, all those smut channels, Howard Stern and crap just to hear Rush, sorry.

According to this its was Rush and Hannity’s choice to leave WABC NYC 77 for WOR because WOR was purchased last year by Clear Channel, which owns Premiere Networks, which syndicates the Limbaugh and Hannity shows.

with Sean Hannity in tow, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are set to leave Cumulus Media and WABC and move to competitor WOR.(7/28/2013 Daily News)

I am sure there are small stations in those areas that would do it

Max American, you’re right. I just went over to the KEIB Wikipedia page and IT IS a 50,000 watt station.

For years I have been under the impression that KFI was the only 50,000 watt super-station in the area. KFI is the station of record for national disasters and the like because of it’s 50,000 watt status.

This is the first time I have heard of another 50,000 watt station in Los Angeles.

I appreciate you mentioning this.

My theory has been that Savage was moved into Hannity’s slots on these stations NOT b/c he is as popular as the heavyweights, but b/c 25% of the time Savage is downright goofy or nuts. Another 25% of the time he is dull. He is there BECAUSE he is not as persuasive as the others.
I guarantee you that Clear Channel execs are being handsomely paid by the Marxist cretins to dampen the effectiveness of those who present arguments cogently and clearly. Bob

Many people who won’t bother to access his show online, will now simply not hear it.

As smart phones develop, radio simply won't matter in virtually any urban market.

As of last week rush was still on am 1130 in minneapols. The channel has not changed but about a year ago clear idiots moved them from fm 100.3 ktlk to the am band. They wanted their sports talk on fm.

Rush is also on 103.5 fm a low power fm station serving the down towns and 100.3 hd 2. He is carried live.

Now if we could get Levin live I could dump sprint (unlimited data for streaming in car) and get a real cell provided.

Ah.

OK good. I was a bit confused by this. So Rush is still at peak power in LA.

:D

I stopped listening to Savage in 2006 when it was disclosed that he sent the largest allowable contribution to Jerry Brown’s campaign.

I have the services, but I seldom use them to listen to Rush.

I am a subscriber, and I don’t use that as much as I thought I would, but it is great to be able to go in and call up a show and listen when I want.

Still, a lot of folks won’t fork over the coins to do this.

iHeart radio does it for free though, I believe. If people want to, they can find his show.

iPhone + iHeartRadio = Rush anywhere.

Anywhere in the domestic US. I was surprised to find that iHeartRadio does not allow reception to non-US internet addresses. The Philippines was a no-no for iHeart.

Argh ! More liberal lies.

This is a continuation of moving Rush over to Clear Channel stations exclusively.

WABC is NOT owned by Clear Channel, WOR is, as is the case with the other moves.

As long as data caps exist on cell phones radio will exist.

I stream levin. Its the only way to get him live. With out fail it seems my phone drops the connection just when he is getting cranked up and won’t reconnect and rebuffer until the commercial break. Go figure.
