Hannity moved up big time from 2001; as has Savage, Savage was ranked 6 in 2001 and 5 in 2002. Hannity's big move looked like it happened in 2001; he must have picked up a lot more stations. I don't think that Hannity would be ranked as high on the radio if he didn't have the crossover audience from his FoxNews cable program.

Your right. Sean started nation wide on 9/11. Instantly his show was with close to 300. Rush started with nothing. And now makes 30mil a year.
