Interesting thread here from a liberal broadcast business board...

Thank God.

I’ve heard the name but that’s about it. Maybe he isn’t as popular as you think he is.

[Ann Archy]

LOL!

Is this the Rush Limbaugh Show hosted by Dan Bongino or is it the Dan bongino show? Will Mr. Snerdley the screening the calls?

So the Rush Limbaugh show will now end? What is Mr Snerdly doing next?

[The Mayor]

I agree, I am still shocked at this all.

[TigersEye]

Maybe so. He sounds more British to me but ...

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.

Replacement for Rush's stations. That would be a much larger hole to fill than Prager's current network would have to fill, if Prager left Salem. It would be a huge upward move for Prager, and admittedly a risky move for Premiere. But all replacement hosts would be risky to some extent.

My prediction is a safe one...The end of the Rush Empire will be like The fall of the Roman Empire. A few large, a few small hosts carving out their larger and smaller territories in some way or another, some eventual absorption of territories from one to another... but there will never be another Roman Empire.

Bongino would be fantastic because he does something Rush didn't like doing. Limbaugh described an issue, bounced all around it, brought in guest "pros" for their opinions, took calls and hardly ever made his personal opinion known. That was his formula and it worked for him.

A revival of the show needs more than dancing around the problems making concerned noises. Dan Bongino doesn't mind the flak. Let him rock.

That’s what my sister and I have discussed. Rush and the majority of other conservative broadcasters and personalities, were/are quick to point out issues and problems. Getting them to provide solutions ... not so much. Bannon is a bit like that, but he does have guests, like Dan Schultz and his efforts to get us involved in local precincts as committeemen.

It seems that the last time Rush became an actual activist was “Operation Chaos” with Hillary.

Still, he was very good at digging deep, providing history, and doing analysis, and I appreciated that.
