Why would there be a decision to keep Levin and Hannity, but drop Rush?
Well, you slit your own throats, revenue wise.
They stated in their article that it wasn't their decision.
For $6.95/month or about $72 a year Rush can be delivered directly into your brain via your iPod, AND you get to keep the show forever ! I bought my first iPod and a subscription to Rush when he first started podcasting in June ‘05
I know. That’s why I didn’t write ‘why did they decide’. I’m talking about the decision from the top.
Stupid move. Rush is the most listened to radio program n the nation and that means you can charge more for advertising. Anything else means you have less revenue.
typical liberal-kill the cash cow to prove a lame point..
That stinks, and I doubt it has anything to do with ratings, but rather with the confused nature of AM radio ownership rules and frequency allocation, as created by the FCC. Whenever I am in Greensboro, I listen to Rush on streaming audio on my computer, either on WGIR (my home station in Manchester, NH) or on KARN in Little Rock, AK, which has a very dependable audio stream.
There is a Little Rock in Alaska, too? Who knew? :)
I am a Rush 24 member. My friends cannot believe this decision. If any area of the country needs to hear Rush right now, it’s RIGHT HERE. I’m shocked.
and a Las Vegas, New Mexico.

Exactly ! :)
New ownership of the Premiere Radio Network is trying to garner more listenership, WSJS must have a solid enough audience that they can “move’ Rush to the lesser performing stations to try and gain some additional listnership.
Rush is on the internet......not as convenient as listening at lunch....but you can read every word spoken by Rush.
Sounds like Obama Chicago style politics hidden in the weeds somewhere.
Sign on to Rushlimbaugh.com on the weekends during the cold winter, and catch up on the week.
The headline is misleading. It has it backwards. Rush, or at least his syndication people, dropped the station.
Seems I recall hearing the owner of the Rush syndication also had some ownership in another station in the market and simply moved Rush to their own station. That’s pretty common in the world of broadcasting.
It’s not a pretty world, especially when it comes to AM stations.
Gee...just when Rush was about to sit in for the regularly scheduled guest host for a couple of days.
Quick Google, I found this.
