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
To paraphrase Rumsfeld (re. going into Iraq without the French), losing this station for Rush is like going deer hunting without an accordion.

So Rush will go to another station and crush these idiots in the ratings.
UPDATE:
The printed version of the Berkshire newspaper notated in this post placed this article on the front page of their newspaper. The many libs in town can rejoice.
There are many articles online floating this news and their updates are incorrect. It is my understanding that in fact the station has lost two advertisers.
WEBC is a small 1000w station. There probably is another competitor station in the area that would like to increase listener numbers.
