Can't agree - neither has said anything new or provocative since January 2009. It's been all (anti) Øbama, all the time.

This is about the numbers, genius, not what they say.

I’m in OC. I listen to him on a San Diego Station, 600 KOGO.

You can always go to “I Heart Radio” on the Net.

Yeh crystal stinks but. Can't listen to her for long. And she is retarded. I have called up and she wouldn't talk to me because she said I was making things up. Then it was what Rush talked about for 3 days and Hanity as well. She doesn’t have a clue what is happening. Typical lib.

This year he has moved to KEIB-1150 and none of my AM radios can get decent reception from that weak little station.

I live even further from major markets (75 to 125 miles) and AM reception was always good to fair at best from a number of different stations. I've owned several of the big, bulky GE Superradios.

But now all my listening is over the computer, or tablet or smart phone. I listen to mostly the same stations as in the past, just no longer their broadcast signal. A significant improvement for me since I now always have better sound than from broadcast signals.

And, I expect you know, you can listen to most any station of any size in the US over the internet.

Thanks for reply....

I can’t use internet because I’m not by computer and my phone which is a nice 4gLTE w/ verizon only seems to receive sporadic reception when listening to internet radio like iheart and pandora. it makes listening impossible and frustrating.

I’ve been trying to beef up my reception through a select-a-tenna and doesn’t work good enough on any of my radios in the house. I do still get KIEB it in my car and truck though.

I’m not buying no $100 AM radio so I can keep listening to Rush..... He left me, I didn’t leave him. I wrote him an E-mail a while back telling him all about it and how disappointed I am in the new station, but of course, he didn’t respond at all.

Talk radio has lost its appeal to me as well.

They do get some info out there but when I want real news and information FR is my first choice.

With the News Breaks, Advertising and the “on air” Commercials that Rush does himself “Lifelock, The Tax Defender Guys and the Home Security Guys”, the Three Hours a Day is more like Two Hours a Day.

Doesn’t matter though, he is still the best in the business.

The problem with talk radio is that it is just talk. People are tired of listening to other people talk, and are ready for some leadership that will actually do something that will lead them to some kind of positive action. Rush and others have done a great job of identifying the issues and the culprits, but now it is time act.

Can you get 790 AM out of Lubbock or 550 AM from Midland? Also 1070 AM or 107.1 FM from Midland?

I’m in Rapid City, near the Black Hills. We’re supposed to get some rain or snow on Thursday too. Have lived in SD since Nov. 2010.

Word is auto makers are planning to stop including AM/FM radios in cars altogether within a very few years, replacing them with internet/bluetooth content “browsers”.

I’ve given up on AM/FM altogether, using a streaming “radio” app thru my iPhone and Bluetooth-based car stereo. Only exception is the occasional audiobook on CD, because it’s less hassle to play that on disc than transfer it to the “cloud” (IF it’s not already on the library’s streaming content app).

The AM radios in modern cars are definitely inferior to the old analog radios of decades past where you could tune with some finesse.

I should have looked at Limbaugh’s website first since he has a station locator.

If it weren't for Conservative Talk Radio I would have no reason to turn on the radio at all.

Ha ha...funny how they use the Bureau of Labor’s/Labor Depts (cooked) numbers, for this BS article.

Real unemployment numbers have yet to be used...by this admin, or by the MSM, since 0bola has taken office.

The only thing that’s saved 0’s overall economic numbers is all of the oil drilling (N Dakota) and the economies of red states, like Texas.

YEP. Those eight tracks were also better than cd’s
