The story goes way back to the late 1980s. ABC was offered the Rush Limbaugh Show. They flat out turned it down.

So other backers were found for the Limbaugh show. But they did rentthe studios from ABC including the Golden EIB Microphone. They also leased the satellite space from ABC.

When the Rush show took off, it earned more than the ABC Radio Entertainment network.

You can imagine the talk when the top bosses saw the lost revenue. ABC was supplying all the infastructure but getting next to none of the revenue. Imagine what they felt as Rush talked about his GOLDEN EIB MICROPHONE while broacasting from the ABC studios.

Now along comes Hannity... ABC is not going to make the same mistake twice. Yes Hannity has about 12 million daily listeners to Rush's 14 million, but ABC is making the dough... the big dough ... on Hannity.
