NEW YORK, Dec. 10 (UPI) -- Talkers magazine reports conservative hosts Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are the most popular radio hosts in the United States.
More than 13.75 million people listen to Limbaugh per week while Hannity draws more then 12.5 million weekly listeners, Talkers reported.
Michael Savage is third with more than 8 million listeners a week.
There is tie for fourth place between shock jock Howard Stern -- soon due to move to Sirius Satellite Radio -- and Dr. Laura Schlessinger with more than 7.75 million weekly listeners, the New York Daily News reported Saturday.
Laura Ingraham filled out the Top 5 with more than 5 million.
Talkers said it used Arbitron data and "other reliable indicators" for its semiannual rankings report.

If Howard Stern ever makes it to #1. God should end the world.
"Limbaugh is better now then he has ever been.....Like fine Scotch, he gets better over time."
I agree, but Rush has always been good, since I found him by accident in the summer when the bent one was first running for president.
Hannity has a lot of famous guest, but he is a bit too plastic for me.
Rush is the true original.
Does anyone know why Michael Medved has been bumped for Dr. Laura on XM Radio's "America Right"? Medved is WAYY better than Dr. Laura! Why is Dr. Laura on a political station like America Right? XM put Medved back on!
Frankensteen?
Here's a pretty good ref for all the talkies.

On the same station I found Bennet, I get to listen to Medved instead of Hannity. Personally, I can no longer listen to Hannity. He has become a caricature of himself in the last year or so.
BOR IS bigger on TV.
I don't respect a man losing $8 million on the slot machines.
Bill Bennet is great! Unfortunately, in my area, he's on hor one hour at 5 a.m. O'Reilly holds the fort from 6-8 in the moring. I like Laura Ingraham, too.
i heard that, but could'nt catch most of the words. and I tried really hard.
Pretty good. Submit it to some sites like NRO.
This is what Savage's web site says about O'Reilly:
"NO SPIN(e) ZONE"
The Leprecon Licks The Gutter Rat's Undies To Boost Sagging
Ratings, Still Masquerades as "Conservative."
I agree. The Savage numbers kind of surprise me. The GOP should definitely be paying attention.
The only reason I listen to Hannity anymore is because he's "on" when I'm getting out of work. In terms of pure entertainment though, I think Savage offers the best product by far.
Hey! Where's Lars Larson? He deserves more love than Franken...
"I just found Bill Bennet on the radio in my market."
Don't bother about his lectures on personal morals though ;)
That's nothin'. Glen Beck was bumped here in Northern Ohio, and replaced by Jerry Springer!
Scary guy.
i thought that was Rush "sarcastically" padding his numbers the way the liberal media pads the numbers for crowd turnout for events such as the "Million Man March." doesn't he say it sort of tongue-in-cheek?
