So his conservative network and listener base will be fractured with Bongino and the other duo (never heard of them) and maybe others too occupying the same time slot on different radio networks. Will be interesting to see who it will be and how long it will take for one of them to come to the top. On the other hand, it will be a very long time and maybe never for anyone to have the radio audience and influence that Rush had.
The answer is NEVER.
Rush came on the scene just after the AM radio waves were freed from the "Fairness bullshit act" and there was no dominant daytime radio talking head.
Almost all talkers were 'drive time'; 6-9 AM and 3-6 PM trying to catch listeners in traffic.
Rush was magnetic and honest and funny as hell, and all long time Rush listeners have a hollow spot and Dan Bongino nor anyone else will EVER fill the hole.
In upstate SC, Dana Loesch is starting Monday, noon to 3. Even the promo clip is such a bore. I’ll no longer be tuning in. So sad that Rush is gone. Will always be missed and never forgotten.
