Talk radio is trying to appeal to some younger listeners—in some cases simulcasting or moving to FM (AM? What’s that). Rush has listeners on the Right to be sure but I’m sure some moderates and liberals tune in, even if he makes them mad. As I like to say:
CALLER: “I just want to say I think you’re disgusting.”
HOST: “Really? And how often do you listen to me?”
CALLER: “Every day”
(cash register: ka-ching!)
Some stations like WXKS (1200) Boston and WRNO (99.5) New Orleans have dubbed themselves Rush Radio and carry
shows like El Rushbo, Beck, Hannity, Levin, etc. The
“Rush Radio!” jingle rocks and the man who helped save
AM and talk radio booms forth, “How’s that hope and change workin’ out for you?”

Hope this gets Rush and conservative talk radio more
listeners.
Also probably tickles Limbaugh to say in character and ironically, things that his ememies have accused him of for years but can’t prove (because they’re wrong) - sexist, homophobe etc.
I have not had TV since 1997, but I’ve been exposed to family guy. It contains some of the most disgusting, and some of the funniest, stuff I have ever seen. I have very strong mixed emotions about the show, similar to how I felt about The Simpsons.
As will all of mankind, I try to throw out the crap and appreciate the good stuff. I’ve now watched a few episodes on hulu. One of the funny exchanges is here:

Sorry, but I was rolling over that one.
I think the show is 90% disgusting so it will take Rush some shaking to get brian’s doo off his shoe. Yeh, brian isn’t even the dog. I guess meg will turn into O’Donnell at some point, big leftie yuck yuck. It’s quicksand but not sand.
Do people really watch that garbage?
Family Guy? Trash! This is a mark on Rush’s brand in my opinion.(I love Rush,,,can’t stand it when I can’t listen)
