Here are quotes from the link shown inthe comments:

http://nepr.net/news/pittsfield-mass-radio-station-drops-rush-limbaugh-after-contraception-controversy

“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.

I'd Love to see the before and after Arbitron numbers. Anyone got access to them?

Earlier in the day, the person answering the phone at the radio station said the decision was from “higher ups” which might mean the station owner and/or Barry. That has not been clarified.

The station owner does not appear to have an email or website. If you call their public number you can not leave a voice mail.

Station Owner:
Vox Communications, LLC owns and operates radio stations in Virginia, Massachusetts, and Texas. The company was founded in 2005 and is based in South Burlington, Vermont.

1233 Shelburne Road
Suite 190
South Burlington, VT 05403
United States

Well, well, Home of GE (and its decades of PCB contamination with soil spread all of Pittsfield.) Ever wonder why Pittsfield has primarily young dogs and a dearth of native aged ones. Must help to have GE’s CEO completely in bed with The WON.

The reality is that most people in Pittsfield get radio station in Albany, NY etc.
