She wanted to be famous but got infamy. Rush was right...again

I bet he has special, long-stemmed fart snifter wine glasses.
I have often wondered why Rush doesn’t stream his own radio program for free and sell advertising directly on that stream. It sounds like the advertisers aren’t as plentiful as we thought?
Thanks for the background information and 'inside baseball' financial details on the talk radio biz (and not excerpting!). Our culture has dramatically changed for the worse, and as you point out, advertisers are heavily influenced by our very liberal culture, even if we wish it were not so. Rush has a huge following of listeners but the advertisers may be shrinking due to their own weak knees.
Darryl, I always enjoyed listening to you while driving on various Saturday mornings over the years. Is Sensible Don still with us?
Where in northern New Hampshire do we tune in for Rush Limbaugh—preferably FM, as AM can be "crackly" during the summer?
Not only podcasts but how about this: Boston’s Howie Carr does offer podcasts for a fee but also there’s a phone number people can call anytime to hear a stream of the show. Those whose smart phones have unlimited minutes can thus hear the show and not worry about data costs for streaming.
There have been worse. I remember a certain personality who said something “knappy headed......”
This Fluke thing is old news. There’s always somebody somewhere offended by what the right thinks. It is their nature.
Despite his devolution into the things he loves to talk about most (i.e, football, golf and deflate gate) he still is crying all the way to the bank.
If there is any loss of listeners it is because he is deviating away from the core reason most people listen. Advertisers? They come and go. And when a station somewhere drops him because they can’t fit his fee structure into a profit model that is comprised of multiple aspects, there is always another hungrier station ready to sign on.
“Not with terrestrial AM radio, its declining revenue environment...”
Just hinted at here, not taken far enough. Not just terrestrial AM radio, ALL terrestrial radio in decline. By 2016 how much potential audience is left, regardless of the host or format? Will he go satellite, streaming, create something new, or just be tired of it and hang it up?
Well according to Rush’s own site:
Laconia WEMJ-AM 1490 M-F 12p3p
New London WNTK-FM 99.7 M-F 12p3p
If you’re up toward N Conway etc you might be able to get him on these Maine stations
Augusta WVQM-FM 101.3 M-F 12p-3p
Howland WVOM-FM 103.9 M-F 12p3p
I know once I was up around there and got Howie Carr fairly well on the Augusta station.
Personally I also blame the fact that most marketing departments are overrun with Millenial females with degrees from Liberal universities, who are heavily influenced by social media, and hence always raising the alarm to their bosses that Rush could kill their business.
And I bet that Darryl could tell us quite a few stories that completely affirms this!
“his mistake being an old man verbally abusing a young woman, which in our society is never acceptable,”
Bill Clinton, please pick up the courtesy phone.
I don’t get a chance to listen to Rush much anymore, but when I do, he doesn’t seem to have the passion he once had. Free Republic is now on the cutting edge of societal evolution, not Rush.
Economics 101: Rush is starting to price himself out of the market.
H.L. Mencken might have been as famous in his day as Limbaugh is now. Father Charles Coughlin had a radio audience of millions for his political views. Generations change, and so does the mass media they prefer, as well as the way they think of that mass media. The leftist cultural juggernaut goes on.

From radioinsight.com:
>>When Emmis’ 93.1 WIBC Indianapolis announced its plans to drop Limbaugh this coming July 3, Premiere Radio Networks issued a statement stating “We look forward to announcing a new home for ‘The Rush Limbaugh Show’ in Indianapolis soon.” Over six weeks have passed and there has been no word on where Limbaugh will land in Indianapolis.

“Libtard fantasies. Delusions.”
And obsessed about sex.
W-o-w. It couldn’t just be that no listens to WRKO anymore and they are cutting everything off. They offed Howie Carr earlier this year. Sandra Fluke my ass.
She was an activist with money wanting folks to pay for her $1 condoms. She was not a proper lady by any stretch of the imagination.
Rush has tens of people doing what is described here in the article using computers to seem like tens of thousands.
Rush is handling it well, but the question is when do we take our millions and go use software to look even bigger and BREAK OUR DESERVED TARGETS?
