This is not everywhere. This is on Cumulus stations. Clear Channel may have their own replacement or replacements. Independent stations will do their own thing, for the most part.

No one name will or can replace Rush, until the next best thing can get 500 stations on in that time slot.

In my opinion, there IS a replacement, but he is on the semi-competent Salem radio network, and that is Dennis Prager, THE voice as many Americans as possible need to hear right now.

A Trump, such as Jr., would be flaming hot!

They wanted Mark Levin but he turned it down out of loyalty to his current business partners. Dan often substituted for Levin and he is a great choice.

James T Harris, a conservative black man broadcasting out of Phoenix , has a radio show called "The Conservative Circus". He definately needs some national attention turned his way, his show is GREAT!

I suspect that sponsors are pulling out.

How is that a replacement if he is already in the same time slot? You move him over then you still have an empty slot that needs to be filled.

If Stein wanted a full time Radio gig, he would already have one.
My guess is he does not want that day in day out commitment.
But we will see him continue to fill in from time to time.
On which show? We will see.
Bongino will have to build his own Radio audience.

March 10th: Dan Bongino, 46, says he’s gotten “a clean bill of health” after completing treatment for Hodgkin Lymphoma in February.

He announced it on Hannity last week.

“This doesn’t settle what is going on with the Rush Limbaugh show on Premier Networks”

I have heard three or four of Rush’s show since his passing. I forget the guests host name (probably Matthews or Herman or both) but I thought they were good as the Host made his points and then they would play recordings of Rush from various years pertaining to current events. His viewpoints are timeless, it doesn’t matter that the names of the Politians Rush is talking about have changed. I believe Snerdley is still producing the show. Seems to me keeping Rush on the air in that format can work and bring in ratings?

“I am somewhat surprised that Rush et al did not have a plan in place.”

A post-Rush Rush-caliber show is impossible because there’s no one that can come close to Rush’s broadcasting qualities. Steyn, Bongino and the others can’t do it.

Rush and Trump are two historical rarities.

Rush did not run the radio company. “His” plans were irrelevant.

I agree, there is no equal. I just didn’t think disbanding the whole brand was going to happen.

I have drive time in the 12-3 time slot and honestly, after the first several weeks I started to tune out. It is time to move on. Replacing Rush Limbaugh isn’t going to be easy and there will be some failure along the way. Even Rush talked about the times he succeeded and failed too. So it shouldn’t be something EIB is shying away from.

It is important that whoever takes the time slot is not continually compared to Rush, their personality needs to be able to stand on its own. Is it Bongino? I don’t know. I really like Mark Steyn. Locally I like Bob Frantz as well. We shall wait and see.

This story obviously doesn’t adequately inform us what is going on.
