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.

Good point. Michael does a good job.
I have posted several times on this thread but only about the top names. In the second tier long with Michael, I would tip my hat to Larry Elder and Rusty Humphries. Important to cultivate our bench!
(Michael himself, of course, has to be something of a sentimental favorite for conservatives.)
By my read of that, Al is tied for 27th.
Bwahahahaha!
Reagan's show is very good and yes, of course, there is a sentiment. We're fortunate to receive all three hours of his show, even if it is on tape delay.
Has anyone see where Errhead America is in any of these ratings? Are they closing the doors yet? I know the answer to my own question since Soros and others will keep their propaganda arm of the DemocRAT party open no matter what it costs them. And if no advertisers are there so what?
bttt
You must be the biggest pu$$y on earth of that's all it takes to irritate you.
Franken?
Isn't he that ugly little man whose book I see on WalMart's sale table?
I listen to Savage on his home station, in San Fran-sicko (as he calls it):

He's on break now for a week or so, but you can hear the Best Of Savage from 6 to 9 ET, until he's back live.
This is an old thread but. .
Dr. Savage, et al. all deserve, earned all the time off they can get.
In these times "best of" ain't good enough. Never was, IMO. In the early days of Limbaugh, et al. and modern talk radio I found "best of" shows boring. Things were quiet back then compared to today.
I've listened to virtually every show Savage broadcasted for about ten years. I respect his efforts and I am a fan.
Frankly I find his "best of" insulting. There's got to be hundreds of eager fill-in hosts for a national show. Bob Dornan filled-in on the 19th.
Syndicated host Jerry Doyle acknowledged the need to keep on truckin' through the Christmas and New Year holidays during these times. That's the spirit, IMO.
