Well, I can't speak for anyone else, but I voiced my non-listenership directly to the Operations Director at KSFO.

Good, at least you are backing up your position. There are plenty of other shows that can be carried.

I don't listen to 950AM KPRC in Houston because of the management changed that wanted to end conservative activism (right as a close mayoral election was approaching) and talk of religion. The hosts that replaced the former staff were all a bunch of loud mouths (I think that they had that Henry guy on before they replaced him with Mike Savage).

Rush is normally the only thing I listen to on that station now. The old staff went to 700AM KSEV. We don't have to support what we find repugnent "just because it's the only thing there" or the "only conservative voice".

I have put on Mike's show at times when I've been driving around at night because he is opposite left wing Pacifica hate radio and even 700AM plays Alan Colmes then and can be quite rude to his guests (rude but not unsulting like Mike). I don't "embrace" what Mike is saying (and certainly don't feel compelled to do so just because he is a conservative) but I put him on for a change of pace from the other talk radio that is on in Houston at that hour.

Other times I'll just listen to music (radio or CD).

If his show is gone it won't change my life. I liked G.G.Liddy more (mostly for his news and review which he later splintered down to the top of the hour reports); with FR I still get to see a lot of news articles and get commentary on it.

Liddy lost his show locally because of pressure after OKC even though he was not connected to that horrible event.

Political correctness is shutting down voices (AIDS is politicized even though it is a disease like SARS, ebola, brain cancert, or leprosy).

A double standard also exists. I would ask that anyone who pushes for getting Michael Savage off the air also contact the Cubs, that station in Florida, NPR, etc. etc.

Don't remain quiet on the liberal missteps. The media already is all too ready to give them a pass.
