To me, this whole article sounds like manufactured horse sh*t. The Bose Wave Radio has been personally endorsed by Rush and I've heard him read the ad for it hundreds of times.

Another statement that bothered me was:

the program will lose much of its economic value to local stations and station groups regardless of how well its audience numbers are doing.

I'm no radio expert, but this sounds like the biggest bunch of crap I've ever heard. There is absolutely no example that anyone can point to where an enormously popular program that exceeded its competition by leaps and bounds faltered because of a lack of advertisers.

Whoever wrote this article is a sycophant to the anti-American losers who are sponsoring this thing like Mr. Stinson.

You got it. Or as others have reminded us.. CBS/Viacom behind the O'Reilly radio show.

What about Dr. Laura? Didn't this happen to her? I always thought her program was popular, yet when there was that flap over the homosexual thing, she was yanked off the air. Anyone remember? Or was it a different situation?

I wouldn't describe it as a "faltering" show, but it is interesting to note that in the New York market Howard Stern has an audience at least three times as large as Don Imus', and yet Imus generates more advertising revenue.
