The show should not be about the past but the FUTURE of conservatism, not just continuing re-runs of Rush Limbaugh’s monologues.
The danger is When listeners feel the show is about the past, they will stop listening.
Rush always said he didn’t want it “to be all about him.” I don’t think he would rest peacefully if his audience were drifting away because everyone who runs the show is afraid of it not being all about him.
I have no idea what the big plan is for the future, but it had better appear soon. The people running the show have to affirmatively break with the current maudlin tone and declare Rush’s wake over — none of us will love him any less. The owners are frittering away the fruits of all his work.
I think there has to be a creative way....once a good (new) host is found (who is worthy of commanding the golden, EIB mic) to work in a “Pearls of Wisdom” spotlight, highlighting Rush’s proven and prescient take, on a topic/issue of the day/hour.
Well, I think they’re losing listeners. Just have a rotation of folks and pic the new EIB guy. Done deal. People will keep listening.
