In the wake of actor Robin Williams’ death, Michael Savage’s assertion that suicide is an “aggressive act” that shows no consideration for loved ones left behind has prompted criticism, but a caller to his show Wednesday said the radio host’s frank talk about the subject helped him decide not to take his own life.

Savage is gaining listeners while Rush, Sean, Beck are all losing a bit. This months Talkers chart has Savage up from 5 million to 5.5, Rush down from 14 to 13.50, Hannity down from 13.25 to 12.75, Beck and levin down from 7.50 to 7.25. http://www.talkers.com/top-talk-radio-audiences/

Glenn Beck worked the crowd like a preacher at a rally this month in Louisville, Ky., declaring that God had responded to conservatives’ prayers by sending a slate of tea party candidates to wrest control of the Republican Party from Mitch McConnell. But there was a more earthly benefit to the arrangement that brought Beck to the rally. It was organized by the tea party nonprofit group FreedomWorks, which had endorsed the candidates — and which has paid more than $6 million in recent years to have Beck promote the group, its initiatives and events. ..............

Well. This is interesting. Over at Talkers.com (here) and Mediaite (here) Michael Savage is at it again. Saying, among other things, that he has “stomped” Sean Hannity in the ratings. But the Talkers story is particularly instructive since Talkers is devoted to the business of talk radio. In fact, the publication makes a point of saying that as a rule of thumb, precisely since it is devoted to promoting the institution of talk radio, it doesn’t like to get into what Talkers calls “personal vendettas” between hosts. So it is striking that this story appears at all — and obvious...

2014 Talkers Heavy Hundred!

Radio host Michael Savage has trumped Matt Drudge's notorious tweet from last year that Vladimir Putin is the "leader of the free world." Savage on Thursday on WMAL in Washington, D.C. claimed the freedom fighters in Ukraine are neo-Nazis and his guest, former conservative Paul Craig Roberts, alleged that American neo-cons are secret Israelis provoking Russia.

ean Hannity has long been right-wing radio's dominant silver medalist, second only to the untouchable Rush Limbaugh. So when Michael Savage, his new competitor in afternoon drivetime, started throwing punches in the hopes of ginning up a public feud, Hannity demurred. But now the first month's numbers are in, and in at least five of nation's largest markets, Savage is not only beating Hannity -- he's trouncing him.

On the airwaves and behind-the-scenes, two major conservative radio hosts are waging a war for the afternoon drive — and the moral high-ground. A simmering feud between radio stars Michael Savage and Sean Hannity has burst to the surface now that the two men are going head to head in prime drivetime — battling for listeners and advertisers in an already competitive market.

On the Savage radio show that is. For the second time Savage is announcing on his website that a big announcement is on for tomorrow night. http://www.michaelsavage.wnd.com/

Talkers magazine publishes a "Top Talk Radio Audiences" list, now with the new monthly PPM ratings system they publish the list every month. Savage was on top of that list since i can remember at 10 million behind Rush (15 mill) and Sean (13) Now i was shocked to see Savage with only 3.5 million on the bottom. This is so sad, makes me wonder if this whole Cumulus thing was worthed.

Michael Savage is finally back in NYC and will be on the air for the first time in the nations capital. As per WND Savage will be on both WABC and WMAL beginning Monday, 9 till 11.

Mark Levin (aka: Groucho Marx) spends a lot of his air time bragging about his ratings, what he won't tell you is that his ratings in LA were really bad (he only does well on 50k clear channel watts stations, what an achievement...) so much so that KABC finally came to their senses and replaced Levin with a live local show leaving levin's show to be tape delayed. Levin won't tell you that , so i will.
