Pipe dream especially since there’s grumbling that the Huckster is getting out of the radio biz...

[ilgipper]

Uh, yeah. They have more ad time to see for shows that have virtually zero audience. I hope Rush cuts ties with these losers.

[BreezyDog]

Huckabee? Good luck with that scenario...

[Biggirl]

But another radio station and company may GAIN bigtime should Rush leave.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Our source says that if Limbaugh left, Cumulus would regain control of a huge chunk of its on-air ad inventory, time that currently belongs to Limbaugh. In that scenario, Cumulus' total sales dollars would actually go up as long as the replacement show — Mike Huckabee — held at least 50% of Rush's audience. Good luck with that.

[massgopguy]

Oh no, that will only leave him on 560 stations!

[jps098]

Huck would be amazing if he could keep 15% of Rush’s audience.

[GraceG]

I would say the Blaze could hire him, but I don’t trust Rush not to stay squishy even if the pressure for him to be squishy is removed...

Mike Huckabee — held at least 50% of Rush's audience

I find that kind of hard to believe.

[Gaffer]

Cumulus Media may be letting this nonsense go on, especially since they are apparently coming up on a contract renegotiation and this hypothesized liberal media wet dream story might put Limbaugh in a worse negotiating position.

CM does this at their peril. They piss off Rush too much with this and he’ll find another deal to minister to his 20 million listeners.

He has the notariety, the money and the drive to say “eff it” and go his merry way without them.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, yeah right..........Huckabee could put an insomniac to sleep.

[CodeToad]

They assume they get to keep those advertisers and they won’t follow Rush to his new network.

[buckalfa]

Rush Limbaugh is on the air waves for only one reason, to make money for himself, his sponsors, and broadcasters. If his ratings are stagnant or even slip, he will lose media outlets.

I love listening to Rush but I honestly cannot remember him making any original contribution to conservative thought or policy. He simply preaches to and rouses the conservative to begin with crowd over current events. After 23 years of tuning him in, his act is getting stale. Maybe he does need some time off to re-energrize himself or to think of better ways to spread the conservative gospel.

Shear right!!!

And monkey’s will start flying out of his azz ...

LOL

Huck sucks ...

[Biggirl]

What about WOR AM? Been hearing that Rush will end up most likely there.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

The left has been marginally successful in their attack on Rush. The Sodomites got him with Florida orange juice. He is on various large advertisers not to use lists. He will probably survive by simply fading away and eventually retiring to a life of ease and pleasure.

Conservatives must accept that based upon inept conservative handling of the Leftist attack the left will ultimately become totally victorious. It is increasingly apparent that the conservative side of our society does not have the organization, intelligence, creativity and will required to prevail.

[rgboomers]

Mike Huckabee is the elevator music of talk radio. Mike Huckabee should only be on the radio at bedtime. Then he could provide a useful function, though the makers of sleeping pills might object.

[Vendome]

That’s just an idiotic pipe dream.

When Rush left KSFO, in the 9am slot, all I did was change channels to KKSF. Which enabled me to find Tom Sullivan, as Hannity’s alternative.

Rush is a very sticky product and his listeners will follow no matter where he goes.

[TSgt]

Good luck with that...
