WIBC-FM 93.1 is pulling the plug on "The Rush Limbaugh Show," a vastly popular program with conservative talk-radio fans and one of the most listened to in this market since it began airing on the station 22 years ago.

The station has been noticeably pulling left and took an active stance against the RFRA legislation.
They're picking up Dana Loesch' show for a full run in part of Rush' slot but have been steadily shifting to more "moderate" views for the rest of the lineup.

In a year they'll be 'The New Talk'.
Everything old is new again.

Will they ever learn?
I guess they don't care how few people listen to their station.

The only reason I listened to that station. Garrison blows RINO bigtime.

In a year they'll be 'The New Talk'. More likely in a year they'll be "La Nueva Musica Mexicana."

Station is probably owned by George Soreass.

Despite the hefty price tag, “this was not primarily a financial decision,” said Charlie Morgan, Emmis’ local market manager.I kinda thought that was the whole idea behind owning a radio station, making money?
To: CMailBag
Actually it’s owned by liberal Jeff Smulyan.

I expect 95.9, Freedom 95, will pick him up and replace Dave Ramsey (yawn). With Hannity, and Savage already in the lineup, their ratings should take off.

Many media outlets are operated for ideology rather than profit.
CNN and MSNBC are the prime examples.
They are owned by Democrat regime affiliates Comcast and Time Warner.
