Rush is calling B.S. on all of this as we speak.
2 sponsors are begging to come back ( bet it’s pro flowers & carbonite)
and he has 3 majors showing up in the next 2 weeks.!

That'd be my guess too! I know the market took a dump yesterday, but Carbonite took about a 9% DIVE, while the overall markets were only off about 1.5%! Wonder if that had anything to do with them dumping Rush?

>>2 sponsors are begging to come back

I’d like to think our own voices on this—cancelling services of these sponsors and letting them know, letting stations know we’re glad they run Rush, etc.—are a big factor. In the P.R. game, companies get antsy when pressure groups
contact them, threaten boycotts, etc. They don’t want to lose business. But they can lose OUR business by backing off
their sponsorship. Our voices are being heard here.

And so far only the stations in Hilo, HI and Pittsfield, MA
have dropped him. In the Berkshire Eagle, the Pittsfield
area paper, most people in a poll said they were glad
the station (WBEC) dropped him. That poll was probably (the lib equivalent of) freeped...and it’s lib territory anyway, though Rush can be heard on stations from Albany, etc. just as easily.
