Michael Savage Boasts of Trouncing Rival Hannity in Major Markets: [Hannity is] a ‘Republican Hack’
Mediaite ^ | 3/26/2014 | Andrew Kirell

Posted on 03/26/2014 2:24:54 PM PDT by AdamBomb

"According to Nielsen Audio Metro data, Savage at least doubled Hannity’s average quarter-hour (AQH) rating in two major markets (New York and Dallas) and at least tripled his rating in Chicago and Savage’s hometown of San Francisco:"

Why does Mark Levin hate Savage?

The question you SHOULD be asking is why Savage hates Levin........

There's not one alleged conservative radio talk show host who continuously attacks his fellow radio hosts like Savage does and it's a pathetic attempt for recognition.

I don't know about Levin because I don't listen to him. But neither Hannity nor Rush give the fool the time of day and ignore his attacks as they should.

I suspect THAT is what pisses Savage off, the fact that he is being ignored by the top dogs..............LOL!

No, they do. Levin and Hannity both comment on “Weiner” and make jokes about his liberal days.

Fledermaus, I couldn’t agree more. Used to listen to him, now I can’t stand much more than a minute or two of his schtick. And it is a schtick that is wearisome to hear. He comes across to me as an imposter that figured out he can make money playing the “ conservative” schtick.

Michael Weiner is as fake as his name.

Thanks for the answer. Wiener aka Savage is not on the radio here. I don’t know what he is saying about who. I listen to Levin (tape delayed) every night.

Hannity radio format involved two guests with extreme views having an on air verbal fight and talking over each other, unbearable to listen to

my great friend Andrew Breitbart told me how sean constantly asked for show ideas...

WTH??? I don't know where you're coming from Bro, Andy was a good friend of mine too and he never once bad mouthed Sean. In fact, I once asked him if he knew Sean and while he said he did, he said he had very little contact with him. In fact often praised him on his show prep, never once mentioning personal conversations asking for "show ideas"...........

Why does Mark Levin hate Savage?

Right after 9/11, WABC got tired of Art Bell taking off, and played Savage for a couple of days, to light a fire under Art. Savage was En Fuego. (a little Spanish lingo, there) Soon after, O'Reilly invited him on his show for a couple of appearances, and Hannity extended a hand to him and had him on his show, as a friend.

Now I know Hannity/O Reilly don't like each other, Levin and Limbaugh don't like O Reilly, Hannity and Levin didn't like Beck for a while (but are now friends)...That kind of stuff happens. But it was Savage that burned his bridges with O Reilly, first, by trashing him after being on his show. Then he began this jihad against Hannity, that made no sense to me--They weren't direct competitors. Maybe Savage thought Hannity did something "behind the scenes" preventing a Savage Show on FOX...I'm just speculating.

But it was so bad for a while, that Levin felt the need to jump in, and he did a good job of trashing Savage. His ratings were better, and he called Savage out on some of his...let's just say, "inconsistencies and quirks."

Before he went to #PM eastern, I had already given up on Savage. The constant "Me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me" and interrupting/"potting down" of the callers. It was ridiculous. He asks for callers, and when they call, they keep getting interrupted. You DON'T INTERRUPT JIMMY FROM BROOKLYN!!!

And the callers...His callers are some of the stupidest bunch of morons on the radio. And if they are not moronic, they are ass-kissers of the highest order. I don't know if he has changed his tune since moving time slots, but it sounds like he hasn't

Hannity's format is awful. Who wants to listen to a show where he rotates is "good friend" Lanny Davis, Whorealdo Rivera and other libs.

Agree. He's yesterdays news.

Have you ever listened to savage? He tears these guys apart every day, has nasty nicknames for all of them.

Levin talks back once in awhile. Not rush, O’Reilley, no one

Savage doesn’t drop it

He has no loyalty. Will turn on anyone in a second.

He gets on everyone’s bad side. He’s not like imus who is grouchy and honest and often wrong but will admit to being wrong and who helps people wth their careers, complimenting them when appropriate

Savage goes through spreading trouble.

He’ll be on top for awhile brag about it putting others down, then he’ll be down as people get sick of his ‘the country is doomed’ ‘nothing we ccsn do about it’ schtick like always

They cannot keep him on here He’s been on three different stations here now none. And rush and Hannity are still on

No fan of Hannity, he’s dull, repetitive, and suck up to Rove. But Savage can make some of the most idiotic statements with complete confidence that he’s absolutely right.

Fortunately, Phil Valentine in on another station in the same time slot, and he seems a decent host.

Michael Savage strongly resembles an obnoxious, pompous, narcissist brother-in-law. It appears to me that Michael Savage’s all-knowing, snarling persona is merely an act. I suspect considers his fans clueless sheeple.

I surmise that you’re not impressed with the irritating way he throws that dumb football.

I can't listen to Hannity; the repetition drives me nuts.

That said, I knew when Hannity sliced and diced Savage a couple of months ago, calling him a depressed, jealous, angry, liberal loser, that the sting would be deep and long-lasting. Looks like I was right, LOL.

Incidentally, if Savage is such a health expert, why is he fat?

Listened to Savage a few times, goes on about himself way too much, and does not treat his callers well.

I thought you said that Hannity and Levin didn’t make comments on Savage, but they do. Not as much as Savage, but the do.

Savage does make hay tweaking the other Conservative hosts, which is strange.

I asked if you listened to savage.
Hannity and Levin respond to the ten year long insult slinging

That’s not a feud. Savage pisses off everyone insults everyone
