So apparently Dan Bongino is NOT taking over the show after all? I’d heard that he was. IMO this is actually better, at least for now. If they were to make an actual replacement, I’d much prefer Mark Steyn if they could get him to do it. He’s smarter, and definitely funnier than Bongino. Humor was a big part of Rush’s show. I could see it being presented as “The Rush Limbaugh Show, featuring Mark Steyn”.
Dan is taking over near the end of May for those stations owned by Cumulus. Other stations have announced other hosts. It appears the network of stations syndicating Rush are splintering to a multitude of various hosts. Rush’s show is owned by Premiere which also owns a lot of stations.
Premier/iheart have twice the affiliates of Cumulus.
Dan was given Rush’s three hour time slot on some radio stations for his show, not take over the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Bongino will be doing a show in the same time slot,
not working for EIB.
Bongino is taking over only some of them starting in May. Most stations are taking a wait and see approach.
Bongino is doing it on about 100 Cumulus
stations.Not the same as iHeart whose
Premiere syndication arm distributes
Rush
can’t stand Steyn for more than a few minutes. Belling is better.

That story was easily identifiable bunk.
