After decades as a dominant force in talk radio, Rush Limbaugh could be in for his biggest fight yet. But the threat isn't from activist groups who dislike his conservative politics. It is from one of his own: former Republican governor of Arkansas and onetime presidential candidate, Mike Huckabee.
Starting April 9, Mr. Huckabee, a Fox News Channel commentator, will go head-to-head with Mr. Limbaugh in a syndicated radio program airing in the noon to 3 p.m. Eastern time, weekday slot.

I'll give him six months; he's boring enough on TV as is, and taking on the Doctor of Democracy will leave him, as so many before, on the losing end.

Ted Baxter (aka Bill O’Reilly) tried this sometime ago. Remind me how that turned out...

Same threat as o’reilly. None. Huck will move time slots or retire in 24 months.

What a stupid article. Head to head?? Puhleeese. A bigger lightweight than Huckabee I’ve never seen.
It’s laughable.

Indeed - the kerfuffle is over. Only the libturds are trying to keep the Rush controversy alive - everyone else is bored with it and Rush’s sponsors are trying to come back. He wins his time slot and that’s what matters to local stations.
And as far another NY station having to change their format to sign up Rush, in San Francisco for years he was on KNBR, an all sports station, which won the 9-12 timeslot until Rush moved over to KSFO.

Huckabee’s show will play to the evangelical who is listening at noon. Won’t take much away from Rush. However, the left will be able to use tit during sweeps to show Rush losing audience, which of course a the intention.
