Strange that Mark Levin didn’t get the message....

Limbaugh doesn’t work for Cumulus, Levin & Bongino do.

They wish to shoot their business in the foot is fine with me, I have already discovered all the content that interests me on Internet “Channels”. Who needs an antiquated radio station.

Everyone I listen to has their podcasts, etc.

Does Cumulus wish to follow the path of FOX News? — CUT THEIR AUDIENCE AND AD REVENUE BY 50+%

It’s well known that suppressing discussion avoids the problem... said no one ever.

He’s syndicated...and maybe has in his contract that no one tells him what his opinion is? I’m telling you the the memo is real. I’m pissed about it. My husband is not as political as I am, but he was not happy about it. My husband is strictly a music programmer and dj, he’s not talk radio..but he got the memo. Like I said, he told me about it Wednesday or Thursday of last week.

I believe the story in some part, because it is Cumulus. They, I believe, got into the talk radio business to destroy it. Look at what happened to 770 WABC.

“Limbaugh doesn’t work for Cumulus, Levin & Bongino do.”

I know that but, they do BROADCAST his program on many of their stations yet, they went out of their way, according to the article, to say he is not subject to their “new rule”. If they were truly serious about their “new rule” they would have told Rush if you discuss the Election Fraud issue we will drop you. Yet, they didn’t.
They just went after the little guys. That pattern continues.

Radio puts out memos that they don’t enforce. Remember after 9/11 they had a list of songs that had to do with things that happened with 9/11, but djs didn’t get fired for playing them.

My local classic rock station went political for the first time, and talked about the siege on the Capital...Dem talking points.

I miss The Zoo (KZEW).

the same day as the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol by a pro-Trump mob

A VIOLENT ARMED INSURRECTION RIOT that snuffed out the lives of millions and millions, including cute, big-eyed puppies and cuddly kittens.
