Rush Limbaugh people are saying it’s not El Rushbo’s fault that ad sales have fallen at his flagship WABC — and he made it clear this weekend if the network’s boss keeps declaring it is, he just may pack up his megadittoes and leave.
In New York, that would very likely take him to WOR, which would create the biggest shakeup in city talk radio since WOR scooped up Bob Grant after WABC fired him in 1995.
Limbaugh’s contract with WABC expires at the end of the year.
Lew Dickey, the CEO of WABC parent company Cumulus, has said Limbaugh’s controversial comments have diminished ad revenue for the past year — and the slump remains a “residual hangover” for the station.

My Fave show next to Limbaugh is Allan Wiener Word Wide on 5110, 7490,9330 and occasionally 15420.
I wish Rush would used short wave and i wish Allan had access to the AM market
18 years should give you a little edge on the method. He is good at that.
I do not always agree with him, but on most issues I do.
Davis sucks but Ben Ferguson sucks harder
hee hee hee
Allan aint everyone’s cup of tea, but I will say this for him.
He fought the FCC tooth and nail and he is the only man on in the USA that has a (Legal) pirates license.
Ferguson sucks.
Ping
I wonder if Cumulus wants to dump Levin too?
I listened to Mark Davis for many years. He had the drive time in the morning, as I am sure you already know. At one time I really liked to listen to him.
But then he bled over to the morning show and nearly ruined it, started hosting for Rush, got gigs on Fox and became an unbeleivable bore. Not to mention his very short stint at a national show.
At one point he called a 13 year old girl a tart and a trollop, yeah she did wrong...but it was a little strong. When people called in...he denied it. Dude...it’s on tape.
The only talking head I listen to is Levin..and not even on a regular basis.
I wish I could say Cumulus is worse than any other station..but I doubt that they are. :)
Mark is a good radio guy, but I think he is sloppy on fact checking and I find him pompous and tedious.
He is a good radio guy, but sloppy on philosophy
Cumulus owns many stations. They have been dumping local hosts, firing the most conservative syndicated shows in favor of more moderate voices that are cheap.
Radio ping!
Ferguson is always whining about Homo rights and School lunches.
A Nuke could be arcing in on us and he would be whining about
Tuesday tacos.
He just is not very engaging.
He may have the lonely mommy clubs ear but he bores me to tears.
Hal Jay Cracks me up though

No doubt that they are doing that.
But most stations are doing the same thing. That is...unless they were preaching the required message to begin with.
I am very worried.
I love me some Hal Jay :)
I actually haven’t listened to talk radio in a while, probably sometime during the last campaign
The best thing about radio is that it is hands free.
Its like FReepin when yer sleepin.
Nothing makes me happier than a baseball game with good commentary while I am busy doing something else.
He’s a funny ol bastage.
AM is not going away.
It just works to well.
