NEW YORK, Dec. 10 (UPI) -- Talkers magazine reports conservative hosts Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are the most popular radio hosts in the United States.

More than 13.75 million people listen to Limbaugh per week while Hannity draws more then 12.5 million weekly listeners, Talkers reported.

Michael Savage is third with more than 8 million listeners a week.

There is tie for fourth place between shock jock Howard Stern -- soon due to move to Sirius Satellite Radio -- and Dr. Laura Schlessinger with more than 7.75 million weekly listeners, the New York Daily News reported Saturday.

Laura Ingraham filled out the Top 5 with more than 5 million.

Talkers said it used Arbitron data and "other reliable indicators" for its semiannual rankings report.

More to the point, where are those wishy-washy delusional PC morons Medved and Hewitt?
Staddle the middle of the PC road and get run over.

Those two idiots are irritating beyond belief; even more so that Franken.

Rush is the only one of the "big" talk show hosts I can stomach on a regular basis.

I don't know if I'm alone on this, but I don't really like Medved all that muchy either. He's okay as a pundit, I guess, but he has no business reviewing movies, b/c he has no idea what he's talking about.

I think Laura Ingraham is the most entertaining of the bunch. I can't listen to Hannity any more...his voice grates on me. Savage is just plain whacko.

It's far more informative, educational and funny than anything else on at that time.

Bump for Morning in America and Bill Bennett. Great program.

Hannity really screwed up on the FL Emanate Domain story. He missed a lot of the facts.

The only FACT that we have to concentrate on is that as long as this property grab is allowed, so unconstitutional that it boggles the mind, none of us really own own homes. Property will always be subject to grab - as, obviously, the town/city would realize higher taxes from a business or mega-business than from private homes.

If this is allowed to stand, we own our homes only at the sufferance of the local governments and their easily bought off mayors, et al.

This is one of the most egregious threats to our rights and freedoms that we have seen since 1776 - believe it. (Don't believe it to your peril. When a mayor can make the statement, as that mayor did, that these people who don't want to lose their homes are "selfish" (!) - well, if that doesn't send a shudder up your spine, you'd better check and see if your breath registers on a mirror.

This is going to spread like wildfire across this country - I can all but see the developers, contractors and town officials who stand to get their hands filled with payoffs, from sea to shining sea. Do not think that your home is safe.

You are only 'renting' from your local government who can evict you at their pleasure.

Don't kill the messenger (Hannity) - get the message.

You are right about the "on the cutting edge" stuff that Rush pushes that is in fact hours to days old, but many here won't want to hear that...

I listen to Rush a lot--I hear the good and the bad, not perfection.

Station numbers are a big factor. For example, O'Bigmouth has way more stations because of his name ID.

Imus has about 100 or so I think, and some of his stuff is funny, but I hate to wade through the lame interviews.

We don't get Snow or Ingram in Atlanta.

Most of my radio listening is now over the Internet. Here's where you can get Rush, Tony Snow and Roe Conn, who is my current favorite by far (Clyde is to Roe what Marty is to Hannity, except entertaining and hilarious instead of boring and stupid):

Mark Levin and Laura Ingraham are here beginning at 3pm Pacific time:

I wonder how 24/7 subscribers are factored in, or are they?

Hugh Hewitt
Bill Bennett
Dennis Prager

ALL belong above Sean and Mike!

They are each brighter and more thoughtful than Sean or Mike.
