I loved the Rush Limbaugh show. I have been listening to it for years and have always been comforted by his ever-increasing audience. It showed that conservative ideas work. The show serves a purpose — a purpose that we need fulfilled more now than ever. Unfortunately, it is not serving that purpose fully now. Rather than building on his legacy, we are wallowing in the sadness of his loss.

Yes.. and unfortunately The Saga Continues has ended.
That's because he was there. Finding a replacement is not going to be easy. In fact, there is no guarantee that it would even survive for very long, if the wrong person becomes his replacement.
Rush simply built talk radio and spawned many excellent talkers in his wake.
I’d love to see EIB close down and open 600 stations to be able to groom and highlight the next generation.
Ken Matthews, Rich Zeoli, Chris Plante, Dom giordano, Larry O’Connor Chris stigall are a few that I like.
Some of these guys might get syndication deals and a few will become nationally prominent.
Snerdley might even become some sort of a kingmaker
Wilkow is where my dial is now. I check in to eib to see who the guest host of the day is
If Steyn I stay, if not Wilkow.
He would be a good replacement for Rush.
I would love to hear Mark Steyn and Dennis Miller together. Can you imagine those two in verbal repartee?
Will miller call Steyn, cha cha?
They knew for a year that Rush was sick and not having a replacement in place was foolish. It’s not like he died in an accident or from Covid. They knew this was coming. They are going to lose their market and time slot unless they get it together pretty quickly. Any other business that loses its key person has about 30 days to get it together before the competition sees blood. Radio is no exception.
I love Dennis’s writings, but I find him too slow and undynamic for radio.
It seems that that means that Rush stations might be bailing out...or might be being shoved out.
I assume that 600 stations....3 hours a day,5 days a week is a valuable time slot. But who can hold an audience as well as Rush did?
Me as well.

Listened to Rush for 30+ years since he first showed up in my local radio market. Miss him. But do not want to listen to years of Rush comments from years ago. Need someone else to fill the slot. Ok with Steyn, none of the others have shown promise except maybe Sexton but he has not been on in awhile.
Grace is OK (and she's *damn* cute...I saw her at one of Howie's remote broadcasts) but she's not nearly as good as Sandy was...or as VB was.
IMO.
Buck Sexton has his own show in NYC...WOR. Don’t know if it’s syndicated or not.
Then, their prominent talk shows show should be retitled as:
-PJ
Excellence in Broadcasting Presents Sean Hannity.
Sean Hannity ain’t nothing but excellence in Sean Hannity’s net worth.
I haven’t listened in a few weeks, but I don’t mind hearing clips of Rush.
Agree. Vb or sandy rulr

I think a medly of guest hosts from around the country. And interviews. EIB PRESENTS. sort of format.
