I wouldn't classify Rush as having failed at TV. It's more like he gave it up.

Trying to do a TV show and 3 hours of live radio daily took a toll. But the real problem was that his show was scheduled for something like 2 a.m. on the West Coast. I seem to remember his ratings didn't deserve that but the liberals running the scheduling couldn't allow his message to get out.

I remember Rush's show being sabotaged from the start. My local station first ran it at noon, up against his radio show. They then moved it to midnight, followed by other moves to several different early morning hours. The TV schedules stopped listing it, as the air times would fluctuate so much and it was not on when slated. Finally they started moving it to odd early AM times. I remember it starting at 3:15 one morning, then at 4:22 a couple of days later. Some days it it didn't show at all. Advertisers wanted the show, but the cute leftist TV management made it impossible for them.

Even at 2 AM he still got pretty good ratings. But, exactly, doing two shows in one day so far apart from each other will take their toll. The only other similar situation I can think of is Jim Rome's radio and TV shows, but he goes on TV right after his radio show ends, so it's just like another hour of work.
