"According to Nielsen Audio Metro data, Savage at least doubled Hannity’s average quarter-hour (AQH) rating in two major markets (New York and Dallas) and at least tripled his rating in Chicago and Savage’s hometown of San Francisco:"

I get to listen to his third hour on the drive to work.

I get to hear the third hour too and it's FM.....The Patriot Network has two stations here in metro Detroit, one FM and one AM.......

“We have reached out to Premiere Networks, the Clear Channel subsidiary that syndicates Hannity, for comment, (but have yet to hear back”).

***UPDATE:***

Eric Stanger, the Vice President of Operations and Affiliate Marketing for The Sean Hannity Show writes in response:

It’s puzzling that Michael Savage would want to brag about his listening audience. Despite his claims, the numbers show that Savage is losing the audience that he inherited from Sean Hannity in droves, on the radio stations that Sean spent 17 years building.
In New York on WABC-AM as well as on Dallas on WBAP-AM, in the key demo of A25-54, Savage has lost a whopping 49% of the audience that he inherited from Sean Hannity.
Meanwhile, Sean Hannity has more than doubled the total audiences where has started on new stations after leaving Cumulus in New York, Los Angeles, and Dallas.
[...] In total, the Sean Hannity Show airs on more than 500 radio stations nationwide, with an estimated audience of over 11 million listeners, while the Savage Nation airs on around 200 stations with an estimated audience of less than 3 million.

She had plenty to say and yes you were slamming Palin, you accused her of having an affair with an idiot.

I’m not impressed with most of what he does, at this point I can’t stand to watch or listen to him. He is a fraud, a phony, middle of the road republican.....

Well, then you may be excused to go outside and cry.

I recall leading up to the 2008 election Savage praising Cindy McCain, calling her classy, etc. After the election he riduculed her as a pill addicted hag. I’m willing to cut Mike a lot of slack because he can do great, great radio but the attack on Cindy was disgusting.

Disgusting...I agree, everyone knows she's a drunk.

[pluvmantelo]

Poor Cindy.

So you resort to slamming me too.

Nice
