July 20th is the day his non-compete ends and 'Midnight in the Desert' begins. Right now he is building his new studio in Pahrump. His intention has been to do an updated version of his old program but to do it over the internet. A three hour show with a mere six minutes of advertising per hour. It will also go out via the TuneIn app.

What's happened as he has been putting this plan together is that some terrestrial stations have begun approaching him requesting to broadcast his internet feed, which Art is agreeing to let them do as long as they broadcast it live with no changes at all. Just the six minutes of advertising per hour.

It's fascinating to watch this develop. You may remember that Art was very early in working with the internet, and now he seems to be on a new cutting edge for broadcasting, melding radio and a live internet broadcast. Some stations carrying the talentless version of his old show must be getting very nervous.

I won't be surprised if Limbaugh doesn't do something similar down the road. He'll have even more control over his program than he does now.
