If losing his prime-time show to Megyn Kelly is rattling Sean Hannity, he isn’t showing it. Hannity weighed in on the report of Kelly’s move to the Fox News 9 p.m. prime-time block during his radio show, saying he’s “very happy” with the way things are turning out, and that it has no negative implications for his career. “Let’s just say in the end I’m very happy. That’s all I can say at this point,” he said Thursday. It’s pretty funny. I love people speculating,” Hannity said. “Because everybody thinks they know everything and they don’t.” He also preempted criticism...

Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity will likely remain giants in the talk-radio industry and simply move to other stations in large markets not affiliated with Cumulus Media, predicted the publisher of an online magazine about the talk-radio marketplace. "All of the hoopla about Rush and Sean's radio careers coming to an end are really coming from political opponents, not from the radio industry," says Talkers.com website editor and publisher Michael Harrison, responding to media accounts in Politico and elsewhere that the radio megastars will be dropped by Cumulus stations at the end of the year. --snip-- Harrison said Cumulus will...

Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh may be setting up shop at new radio stations in the near future. According to a report on Politico.com, Cumulus Media is planning on dropping both talk show hosts at the end of the year. If Cumulus goes through with their plans, that means the nation’s top two conservative radio personalities would be removed from more than 40 stations. The company declined comment to the political website. "Cumulus is not in a position to comment about negotiations with talent under contract, no matter what the rumor of the day might be," a rep said. Sources...

In a major shakeup for the radio industry, Cumulus Media, the second-biggest broadcaster in the country, is planning to drop both Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity from its stations at the end of the year, an industry source told POLITICO on Sunday. Cumulus has decided that it will not renew its contracts with either host, the source said, a move that would remove the two most highly rated conservative talk personalities from more than 40 Cumulus channels in major markets.

Did anyone else hear a caller today, on the Hannity show, state that if Zimmerman is found not guilty he (Zimmerman) would not be able to leave his house ever again, and that he was, essentially, going to be targeted? The caller seemed to be a Black male and I think he was in Florida. I can't recall the name he gave to Hannity. Hannity attempted to get him to reveal exactly who, or what group(s) was making this threat and told the caller that he had a duty to contact law enforcement. The caller said he had no intention...

All of the net gain in employment over the last 13 years has gone to immigrants (legal and illegal). The number of native born workers actually fell by 1.3 million. The number of immigrants working (legal and illegal) increased by 5.3 million.

A surge of breaking news -- the Boston Marathon bombing, Oklahoma tornadoes, the Jodi Arias trial -- brings a new (distant) runner-up to Fox News Channel, but the cable networks end the first half of 2013 with a lackluster June.

Sadly, Rep. Paul Ryan is the latest Republican to defect to the dark side in the immigration debate. Tonight on Hannity the former vice presidential candidate struggled to explain why border security must be tied to the legalization process. Ryan also admitted the issue could split the GOP, “Of course, I’m worried about it.”

Hannity has an audience of black conservatives. Honest discussion of race and politics. Watch if you have time. All is not lost!

Published on Jun 20, 2013 (June 20, 2013) - On Sean Hannity's show Thursday night, an argument over whether Attorney General Eric Holder committed perjury exploded between guest Bill Cunningham and Fox Analyst Tamara Holder (no relation to Eric). Cunningham, incensed over what he felt was Eric Holder's consistent mendacity, began screaming and jabbing his finger at Tamara Holder, who was sitting right next to him. "You are judicially challenged and you're one of the stooges of the left that will always be there to excuse away criminal behavior," he said to her. "You suffer from Bob Beckel-itis, which is...

A trio of Republicans in the so-called Gang of Eight huddled with leading figures at Fox News Channel on the bipartisan effort in the Senate to reform the nation's immigration system, according to a piece published in this week's issue of The New Yorker. The story, written by Ryan Lizza, indicated that Sens. John McCain (R-AZ), Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) had discussions with "top hosts" at the conservative cable news network, including Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity and Neil Cavuto, all of whom are " now relatively sympathetic to the Gang’s proposed bill."

Washington Post columnist Michael Gerson – President George W. Bush’s top speechwriter from 2001 to 2006 – was hired by the Post in 2007 because he would be “a different kind of conservative” and "an independent voice." Translation: he would slash other people on the right as dishonest, dishonorable, unpatriotic people. He has not attacked talk-show hosts on MSNBC or other leftists this way. In his Friday column, Gerson whacked Ron Paul, Rush Limbaugh, and Mark Levin with these harsh attacks. Mark Levin offered NewsBusters his reaction. Gerson began: A number of libertarians and conservative populists have found data collection...

The title of Ann Coulter‘s latest column on the immigration bill in Congress is “If The GOP Is This Stupid, It Deserves To Die”, so she clearly has an issue with how Republicans have handled the immigration debate. She continued slamming the GOP on Sean Hannity‘s show tonight, calling immigration bill supporter Marco Rubio “the Jack Kevorkian of the Republican party,” and insisting that any bill that goes through the House and Senate will be amnesty first, enforcement second. When Hannity asked what Coulter would do with the millions of immigrants currently in the United States, she rolled her eyes,...

The government’s war on the rights of conservatives isn’t just being waged by the IRS; the U.S. Army apparently is also participating. According to this report from Fox News, Master Sgt. Nathan Sommers, a 25-year Army veteran and conservative Christian based at Fort Myer in the Washington, D.C. area, has been harassed and persecuted for expressing conservative views and for reading books by Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, and David Limbaugh.Sommers’ difficulties began last April when he was told by his superior officer to remove pro-Republican, anti-Obama bumper stickers that were on his privately owned car. The stickers read: “Political Dissent...

A veteran member of the U.S. Army Band said he is facing retribution and punishment from the military for having anti-Obama bumper stickers on his car, reading books written by conservative authors like Mark Levin and David Limbaugh, and serving Chick-fil-A sandwiches at his promotion party. Master Sgt. Nathan Sommers, a 25-year Army veteran and conservative Christian based at Fort Myer in Washington, believes his outspoken opposition to gay marriage prompted higher-ups to take a closer look at his beliefs. The recipient of an Army Commendation Medal and a soloist at the funeral of former First Lady Betty Ford, Sommers...

On his radio show Thursday night, conservative talker Mark Levin scorched his former radio competitor Michael Savage for attacking fellow conservative talkers. The feud seemed to cool off after Savage, who used to go head-to-head against Levin in the 6 p.m. EST time slot, left the Talk Radio Network and was picked up by Cumulus, the same company that distributes Levin’s show. Savage now hosts the time slot following Levin’s, from 9 p.m. to 12 a.m. EST. But in January the fight was reignited, with the two trading shots over the airwaves. In this latest chapter of the saga, Levin...

Good morning, AdLand. Here’s what you need to know today: A high ranking source at Cumulus radio told the Radio Ink that 48 out of 50 advertisers gave orders to exclude “Rush and Hannity” from their packages. Of course, the radio company that distributes Limbaugh’s show released a statement that the claim is “completely inaccurate.”There was talk earlier this week that Limbaugh’s relationship with Cumulus was in danger given the major advertising boycott he incited after calling Sandra Fluke a slut on the air. The boycott allegedly cost ABC Radio $5.5 million. …
