This can be interpreted that Barry possibly had a motive all along to pull the plug on Rush. He was just waiting for an excuse.
Perhaps we can email Barry to ask him. peterb@live959.com
Here are quotes from the link shown inthe comments:
“The nature of Rush’s programming has always presented challenges for us and he’s always pushed the envelope. But this time he’s taken it too far.”
Barry says he doesn’t anticipate that the station will broadcast Limbaugh’s program in the future. He says the station has yet to fill the afternoon 12-3 time slot.
Can someone do some research on Peter Barry? I’ll bet he’s a big Lefty.
Just the kind of mistake that gets made when emotions or politics take hold of business decision.
Sounds like a competitor just got a prime opportunity for a ratings coup. Betcha they don’t miss the opening.

“In addition, nine national sponsors have stopped advertising on the program”
We need to make sure these companies are boycotted.
Maybe the station can fit Ed Sgt Schultz in that time slot, he’ll lose them a bunch of money and only calls conservatives sluts.
12 emails? What a joke
ROTFLMBO! Only 643 more to go.
Rush is calling women sluts for taking the pill and Coulter is telling college students that she doesn’t think they should be able to vote. I see a winning strategy developing here, for the democrats.
They’ll probably replace him with Bill Maher. I’m actually surprised that he was on in the People’s Republic of Massachusetts to begin with.
Anyone can listen live on internet. At Rush site you get parodies instead of commercials.
There are a lot of business people making really bad business decisions. If you’re selling bedding, legal services, radio ads, or whatever — betting against Rush is a bad career move. Don’t doubt me...
“over her support of health insurance coverage of birth control. “
Not quite- her demands that a Jesuit college provide birth control for “free” is more like it.
Station will probably go bankrupt.
Will Obama Super PAC Return Misogynist Bill Maher’s Million-Dollar Donation?
Wow—population of 45,000;western MA.
Big flagship station—not.
are divided. I think Rush needs Newt on his side since he can stand up to the media. Rush can't fight this alone.
Northampton is the Lesbian capitol of the world.
Seriously doubt an AM station can carry anyone with equivalent ratings.
Ummm... Peter Barry....buh bye!
When the left takes back all of the horrible things they’ve said about Sarah Palin, then maybe I’ll give a frog’s fat a@@ about what Rush Limbaugh says.
Losing advertisers is one thing but when stations start to drop him that is a bit more serious.
This morning in Hilo I turned on KPUA to listen to Rush. Instead of Rush there was a sports talk show. I wondered why Rush was not on and now this article has explained it. This is really not surprising, as this state of Hawaii is the most liberal of all states....and that includes Taxatuchetts.
