Rush Limbaugh has rejected an advertiser’s apparent attempt to reunite with his show after the company initially dropped its ads from the program following his remarks about contraception advocate Sandra Fluke.
The company, Sleep Train, calls itself “the No. 1 Bedding Specialist on the West Coast, and most recognized mattress retailer in the region.”
In an email to Sleep Train President Dale Carlsen (obtained by The Blaze), a representative of the show says that Limbaugh personally considered the company’s request, but denied it considering its public comments following the controversy.
“Thank you for your requests last week and this week to restart your voiced endorsement in local markets of The Rush Limbaugh Show,” the email begins. “Rush received your requests personally.”
“Unfortunately, your public comments were not well received by our audience, and did not accurately portray either Rush Limbaugh’s character or the intent of his remarks. Thus, we regret to inform you that Rush will be unable to endorse Sleep Train in the future.

HAHAHAHA!
Another FReeper insists I am wrong about them renewing. He may know something I don’t know, so we’ll just have to wait and see.
Another FReeper is adamant that I am incorrect about them coming back to his show, so I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. Time will surely tell.
I’m betting on you, Gina.
:^)
(Too bad because I hate the Carbonite commercials. Let’s hope they don’t get the predominant spot they used to have in his regular show.)
I should not have said anything to begin with. Wrong of me. He has hundreds of affiliates nationwide, and this is something thousands of people in the business can see, so I didn’t think much of saying it, but the fallout I got was surprising, and then that one guy swearing it’s not true. He really may know more about this than I do (he FReepmailed me off the thread with a few words that made me question my own eyes and ears).
I hate the Quicken Loans spots the most... :-)
Ya Gots FReepmail...
:^)
Carbonite was dying long before Rush. I think Carbonite pulled their ads because carbonite could not afford Rush.
OK. Now I’m really confused.
Two different bed companies, both dumped Rush.
Sleep Train.
Select Comfort/Sleep Number.

It that’s the case then, to paraphrase Shakespeare, a plague on both their houses!
I was wrong about Carbonite. They are NOT back.
“Do you not understand that it’s the ads that pay the freight?”
(Obviously I do, and exactly why I called them extraneous crap. Or are you really stupid enough to think people enjoy advertisements as much as the show, as opposed to simply tolerating them ? )
“No ads, no show, no entertainment. Really, it’s very simple.”
(So simple, you were able to get it completely backwards! The listening audience seeks entertainment and searches for good shows. The most popular shows can charge the highest prices for advertising slots for the targeted audience.No audience, no show, no ads.)
Didn't you previously work for Air America?
oh, poor poor you. Poor baby! Firt you have to ENDURE ads on a radio show, then you have to ENDURE someone calling out how freaking stupid you are. Then compound it all. hahahha you are just too funny, nearly as funny as ignorant. Go for it, girlie.
Interesting...........
As I said, I was wrong, because the order that I saw was from Thursday of last week, but overnight between Thursday and Friday the order was updated, and Carbonite was removed. I was wrong for even saying anything.
No worries........
LOL!
Yeah, as I suspected...
a former Air America employee (or wannabee)!
May I direct you back to the homepage of this website?
Or are you hopelessly lost in cyberspace, bless your heart?
I've read your attempts to cover your butt over the above statement and the fact is you lied and you know damn well you lied. Thatcher had you pegged perfectly
"You have absolutely no information about his ad buys. None.
My advice to you is to stay off the Rush threads if you intend on posting lies while posing as "someone in the know" since you're obviously clueless on who monitors this site.........
