Happy that WPOP will do talk radio.

But for Rush, he will stay parked at WTIC AM.

Maybe though they are owned by iHeart (formerly Clear Channel). If WTIC 1080 decides not to renew Rush, he may well wind up on 1410.

In Boston when WRKO decided not to renew Rush—thus giving Kuhner that noon slot, iHeart took their Spanish language WKOX 1430 to talk with Beck, Rush, Hannity etc. That may change next year when Rush’s contract with iHeart/Premiere syndication expires and Rush, if offered a contract at all,
may get “low-balled”...

Rush was on WPOP the last time it was a talk station. I remember when it was a "Pop" station (hence the call letters). Rush had to go over to WTIC,becasuse it is (In his words) a "50,000 watt blow torch". He also likes heritage stations, and WTIC goes back to the early 1920s.

WPOP was a pop/top 40 station years ago (hence the call letters) and they had a DJ named "Dale Denver"--real name Mike Adams, now doing night on the WEEI Sports Radio Network.

Day signal of WPOP:

When I saw the map of how WTIC AM reaches, it covers all of CT and parts of RI and MA.

Who knows..WRKO was losing money on him and they dumped him. But we’ll see if WTIC (owned by CBS I believe) decides to renew. Smaller markets like Hartford, he may not be as big a liability. WRKO’s ratings were bad and they were losing money because to carry Rush they had to place some ads iHeart was running elsewhere in the lineup.

WTIC may well keep Rush, who knows!

Indeed and at night WTIC is heard far away, like in Ohio...one time I was attending a minor league ballgame near Youngstown and I was getting WTIC election coverage (a Lieberman primary) on car radio.

WTIC “Traveler’s Insurance Company”...big antenna near or in Farmington, I believe

Yep, because WTIC AM has, the franchise, Ray Donnaway, Jim Vicevich, warmup for Rush, Rush, than Joe D. and Grese For Sports talk. After that, national shows take over unless there is a sports presentation.

If POP is a small station they can’t afford El-Rushbo’s 500 Large a year. My guess is Kuhner will be a lot less than that... And as another poster noted TIC is a 50,000 watt blow torch and Rush loves those, WLS, WJR etc etc...
