Good morning, AdLand. Here’s what you need to know today:
A high ranking source at Cumulus radio told the Radio Ink that 48 out of 50 advertisers gave orders to exclude “Rush and Hannity” from their packages. Of course, the radio company that distributes Limbaugh’s show released a statement that the claim is “completely inaccurate.”
There was talk earlier this week that Limbaugh’s relationship with Cumulus was in danger given the major advertising boycott he incited after calling Sandra Fluke a slut on the air. The boycott allegedly cost ABC Radio $5.5 million. …

Mega, Mega Dittos! haa.
I recently got a solicitation e-mail from Carbonite. Boy did I have fun responding very politely and telling him donations and actions have consequences and since he dumped Rush I will never have anything to do with them.
Boy..... that was fun. Carbonite lost tons of business, plus begged Rush to come back and he said no way.
What’s Newsweak...
Isn’t that a defunct liberal newsrag that once really reported news (back in the 60’s)?
Yeh, he didn't call her a dyslexic cunning runt.
Chris Mathews and Fat Ed have a lot of advertising time available.
Rush often mentions abortion and marriage. Levin is the best though.
That being said. Rush has 25 million listeners, after I was black balled by some due to the Fluke flack, I would have never allowed them back & would have actively worked for their failure.
Plain and simple, with me or against me. Had I gotten flack from my distributor, I would have jumped ship, broke the contract and fought them in court for the next twenty years. I would have MF’d up and down every day on the air.
I lost allot of respect for Rush when he apologized to that Leftist Whore. I lost even more when he took back some of the advertisers that dropped him over the crap.
Hmm. I noticed the other day that Shari’s Berries was back on Limbaugh’s show. Rush was big to take ‘em back. He was right when he questioned us having to pay for Sandra Fluke’s birth control. Her rich boyfriend ought to do that. - By the way, Sandra’s 15 minutes of fame was up after the first 15 minutes, and looks like Obama’s dropped her like a hot tater.
I’m not surprised that 48 out of 50 advertisers said they did not want Rush or Hannity in their advertising “package”. 48 out of 50 advertisers can’t afford to advertise on Rush or Hannity.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
‘Cause they are gutless or unprincipled.
Sean Hannity advertised that water softener, which I bought for about $1300.00 and it’s totally worthless. I’m still mad about that con job.....and Sean is a great American but he talks about himself way too much! Rant over.
Rush has the most listened to radio show.
Yep...BI BS.
Where is the list of the 48 advertisers; I may want nothing to do with them. In fact, I may go out of my way to ensure I have nothing to do with them.
“48 of 50 is 96 of 100...”
Let’s take that further. 2 out of 50 are more than willing to advertise. That’s 4% of all the businesses that advertise in that area.
How may businesses are in that market? Thousands?
That means that at least a few hundred are clamoring to be advertising on that station at that time.
Is that not enough? It only takes a few.
Just what are they saying they are expecting?
Prediction: Look for WOR AM to sign Rush, Sean, and Mark up and watch its ratings GO UP!
“In my lifetime, the heyday of talk radio was that period from 1985 to around 1995. It’s been all downhill since.”
In SoCal we were able to enjoy the late, great George Putnam. There has been no local host who has come along since to replace him although there surely must be many who could.
Putnam’s old flagship, KIEV, was an independently owned station that could feature local talent (along with an assortment of carnival barker infomercials).
KIEV was eventually purchased by Salem Radio and George was shoved aside for the parade of RINO-loving GOP shills that Salem still features- Michael Medved and Hugh Hewitt being prominent examples.
I am going through my pantry as we speak and removing ALL Pelham Brand products. I have it on very good authority that both Metrosexual Medved and Stuffy Fake Conservative RINO Hewitt use what St. George's horse left behind in the Rose Parade as the basis of their so-called "shows."
Both of these characters would be ineligible for psychiatric therapy until after they had visited a proctologist to find their brains.
For about a year after the Salem Coven took over KIEV George still had a show on the station.
But to show their gratitude to George for building up the audience that they intended to exploit, the incoming RINO gang stripped George of his 12 noon time slot and gave that to Michael Medved.
Medved still lived in the People’s Republic of Santa Monica at the time. He hadn’t yet fled to his Whiteopia redoubt in the Pacific Northwest, where he still shills for Amnesty and Open Borders, the very issues creating the mess in California that he left behind.
And in similar fashion the fantastically self impressed Hugh Hewitt is trying to fill up his Carpetbag and move to Colorado, where he will once again take the side of the GOP elites in their war against grassroots conservatives.
