He is also now advocating censorship of satellite radio to, in his words, level the playing field. Does this have anything to do with Stern making fun of handicapped people since Savage had a handicapped son? More than likely. But, as disgusting as Stern is, to advocate censorship because of a personal beef?
Lately he has also been whining quite a bit about Rush and O'Reilly. Sorry but it sounds like whining to me.
If he says anything worth hearing about, let us know. I had to turn Savage off.
I really don't think he was 'dumped' unprovoked by either.
My feeling is that this is about money, and that Savage had a window to legally ask for more money, he did, and they didn't bite.
what I don't understand is why dump @ 2 million listeners? I enjoyed Savage's show, just like I used to enjoy Rush's. I travel extensivly, and tuning into a "terriestrial" station, AM radio, is not an option I'm willing to revisit. With AM, I'm lucky to catch 5 hours a week of Rush's show, who has a hell of a lot more affiliates than Savage does. I hope Savage enjoys talking to himself, because I'm not turning off my XM radio and fumbling through white noise trying to pick him up. Those days are over foor me.
I'm betting he pushed both companies for more money and they told him to take a hike.
