Make the entire show going forward— having several days each of a FACULTY MEMBER of the Rush Limbaugh Institute of Conservative Studies (his title for his “Institution of higher learning”).

Steyn, Todd Herman,Mathews, Bongino, Mark Levin when he is able (and in Constitutional crises issues— when is it NOT now adays?), Knowles,— all the guest hosts Rush approved in the past, and additional graduates he thought highly of, not fake conservatives and Never Trumpers

Expand the market base, for each of these host’s shows, and keep the Rush Limbaugh Show a permanent fixture and royal pain in the a@@ of the increasingly whacked out demonrat Commnists. Permanently- and educating the up and coming young conservatives to be in continuity against the public school onslaught we are suffering under at this point in time.

I sat under the Constitutional tutelage of Mark Scott for three hours a day for many years. He was excellent and I still remember many of his lessons.

We are of similar minds—expand the brand and the worldwide support from other sovereign nation’s Conservatives— anti-Socialists, anti-Globalists and thus anti-Communist.

It sounds like the plan is to replay some of his broadcasts for the next ninety days, which could be a good-bye OR, possibly a replacement has a contract with another entity that has to expire.

I'm curious what happens to Rush 24/7. You can sign up for a full year.

I think Rush 24x7 can be the enduring legacy to Rush. I was a subscriber many years ago, and can't remember how many back shows they kept. But it would be quite a feat if they could put several of his shows on Rush 24x7. Listeners would hear Rush's thought on issues, many of which are still relevant today.

I found Roger Hedgecock interesting but did not realize that Rush and he parted ways quote awhile ago.

"I've listened to Talk Radio for 30 years, and there is/was only one person who was over 50% of Rush... but he is dead to...(Mark Scott WXYT AM 1270 Det.)"

Excelsior! Excelsior my Friend!

RIP Mark, man do I miss him.

A guy I have been listening to now for 6 yrs out of Boston, WRKO 680am, with not just a National, but an International Audience. And this for a guy who is just supposed to be a Boston local show, he is someone that comes to mind.

And that is Boston's Bulldozer, Jeff Kuhner.

People have been complementing him that they'd like to see him in the Golden Chair, as you can imagine Jeff is humbled.

As an immigrant that is now an American Citizen he has the heart of a Lion, maybe he'd fit the bill....

Mark Levin is the smartest conservative on the air now. He is not only a constitutional scholar, he knows American history and recites amazing truths from memory. He carries a lot of clout with real conservatives. Move him from 6pm to high noon. He can’t replace Rush, nobody will. Among a good list on conservative voices, his is the voice we need most! He should now take Rush’s slot!

No way I will listen to him.
Not happening.
When Rush was gone and Steyn was there I listened to bad rock and roll.

She has wit, charm, humor, philosophical chops and is young. But, she may have higher aspirations.

Bill Whittle is another that has some of those same attributes. Talk about a talker, humorous and a thinker...hmmm, the cream will eventually rise.

I find Steven Crowder the closest to Rush in humor and wit. He’s not nearly as subtle with it as Rush though.

He's nasty. He was surprisingly rude to Trump supporters here on FR before Cruz finally was out and Trump was in for the nomination.

I favor a rolling list of hosts, including the top subs like Steyn, Herman, James Golden (Snerdley), etc, and also Don Sr, Don Jr, Eric and Lara, Lou Dobbs, Bongino, General Flynn, Steve Miller, Candace Owens, Kayleigh McEnany, Sarah Sanders, Burgess Owens, Mike Huckabee, Judge Jeanine Piro, Diamond and Silk.

Each host (or duo act like D&S) gets $76,000 per episode (around $20million speakers’ budget, half of what Rush made) and the rest of the contracted budget of $45M would go for increased scheduling, production, publishing and marketing staff, to make sure it keeps going.

Rush developed the audience; the trick now is to hold onto it with excellent conservative content. I doubt that the one-man format could follow him—too much pressure on one man, since Rush was inimitably unique; a different sole personality would risk of losing the audience. A variety of hosts is the best option.

Brett Winterble was very good.
I like Dan Bongino, but I’m afraid his health will be an issue.

There are very few entertainers whose passing defines the end of an "era." Johnny Carson was one, perhaps Lucille Ball was another, maybe even Robert Osborne (who dominated at TCM since its inception).

In the spirit of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, this show could continue on as The Rush Limbaugh Program Starring... the name of the host for the show.

And now, heeeeeerrrreee's Mark Steyn!
