AM talk radio was dead when Rush started. There were no other listeners to lose. Rush saved AM radio.
JMO but without Rush Limbaugh, AM radio would have been gone 25 years ago.
That's probably why he's going after Rush. Free advertising!
Jesse Jackson, the late Mario the Pius, Jim Hightower, and even Alec Baldwin plus countless other liberals have failed on the radio. Sour grapes article by lefties who wish any of their hosts could get even a third of the audience numbers Rush gets everyday.
I think the best talk radio is Armstrong and Getty in Northern California. They are libertarians, smart, funny and play off each other very well.
“The entire medium is becoming obsolete.”
Bingo. It’s not that Limbaugh has lost his touch, it’s that traditional radio is becoming more and more a thing of the past. It’s not much different than the decline of print media, or the “Big Three” tv networks.
Good point. He may incease his audience to 20 : )
The minutes of information to the level of ads, drove me away.
That's why I've never listened to AM radio. The incessant commercials would drive me crazy.
Not so. I get a huge kick out of listening to Michael Berry!
Sports talk is all over the place here - and it’s migrating to FM.
Evidently Rush needs to talk about bitches to connect with youth (Hillery excluded of course).
“Bingo. Its not that Limbaugh has lost his touch, its that traditional radio is becoming more and more a thing of the past. Its not much different than the decline of print media, or the Big Three tv networks.”
That is part of the trend. I listen to Satellite radio. But that is becoming obsolete, too.
Internet radio seems to be where things are going.
The Internet is dragging down AM radio. And here in Indy, Rush went from AM to FM many years ago. But I mostly listen to him with my “TuneIn Radio” app on my iPhone (grandfathered UL data), so I can pretty much pick him up, in any market, anywhere. Like I’m listening to him now, as I type.
Parks notes that Limbaughs program is sinking in the ratings in New York and Los Angeles
I lived in los Angeles. these cities are very liberal and tend to believe the liberal lie narrative. I don’t know how many times I have been told how evil and bad rush is by people that have never listened to him.
In analogy with “Gender Queer” — i.e., those who deny conventional sexual distinctions and simply “identify” however they please, let me propose that we retire the use of the term RINO, and simply call Parks and his ilk, “Republican Queer.”
I can cut it to a sentence.
This is the work of a bitter, angry man who lost his job at a radio station that happens to carry Rush.
“Fall into oblivion” my *ss. Rush pretty much single handedly resurrected AM radio from the dead.
Of course, there are always foolish radio executives who want to try. I can just imagine Rush being told that he needs to get a slick talking, accented Hispanic sidekick and play snippets from Hispanic pop songs as his bumper music. Fortunately, Rush knows the radio business and owns his show so he does not have to entertain such nonsense.
Last week I bought yet another portable AM/FM radio - - -
I listen to Rush every day here in Ventura County.
Here, too, his show was removed from an L.A. station but found on a (’obscure’) station in the county next to L.A.
