5 min's dead air on lushbo's "show"

Media Matters lies again.

Last week the Media Matters website pointed out the dead air on the station’s online “listen live” feed. But the group ignored what was aired over the broadcast airwaves, which often dramatically differs from online feeds.

Some stations don’t run commercials online because of extra announcer fees and issues surrounding advertising agency rights, according to John Mainelli, a former New York Post media reporter.

It also escaped Media Matters’ notice that an advertisement for the left-leaning New York Times aired during Limbaugh’s Tuesday program.

A recording of Limbaugh’s commercial break on Tuesday from 12:55 p.m. EDT to 12:58 p.m. EDT on WABC shows that ads were aired for the non-prescription female hormone balancer Amberen, a food-stamp public service announcement from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a spot for WABC’s other programming and one for The New York Times.

Are we surprised?
 
Rush might have thousands of sponsors but not all sponsors are created the same.

If he loses his national sponsors he's in trouble.

Fact of it is, sponsors will follow the audiences. They don't support or endorse the content of any show... they simply target their demographic. People really shouldn't get all hyper about advertising. It's stupid.
