They will be doing the current format for at least 90 days. Lot’s of retrospective of 33 years of broadcast excellence.
Personally, I hope they shut down EIB. Rush cannot be replaced. He probably cannot even be succeeded.
In my opinion, he didn’t just blaze the trail, he paved the highway for all kinds of excellent conservative talkers. To have some board of directors pick one of them to be the successor is unfair-to us.
By shutting down. the entire spectrum of talk will become wide open. Talkers will get moved around, some will get small and others large syndication deals. Some will disappear and the best will rise to the top. Maybe someday another behemoth will arise but it has to happen organically. He needs to be us and we need to be him. Just like Rush became.
We need the next generation to take up the mantle.
They’re going to play reruns for three months?
That is guaranteed to drive off Rush’s audience—which may be what they want.
