Wow, thanks for this ping from several months ago. In my area, they decided not to even air a national program, and went with local hosts that just stink.
I think about Rush almost every day in some context.
Erick Erickson was banned from hosting for Rush after his despicable anti-Trump remarks. It IS an insult to listeners.
Bless us all.
Erick Erickson has a pig voice because he is a P-I-G PIG, as the lady said.
The big 50,000 watt talk radio station in my area - WTIC 1080 AM - did the same. Immediately after Rush's show ended, WTIC shook up their entire line-up, and it is AWFUL now. They even replaced one conservative guy with a freakin' liberal!
Fortunately I have another local "backup" radio station (in nearby Springfield, MA) to choose from that is airing the successor to Rush's legendary show: The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show - Inspired by Rush.
Clay & Buck are nowhere near as good as Rush was (who is??), but they're a heck of a lot better than the local WTIC guys.
