Losing a small to middlin' market like Indianapolis probably won't cause Rush to stop smoking hundred dollar Cuban cigars, he only had about a 6% share of the Indianapolis radio market anyway but-----but it's bound to piss off a bunch-o-old farts in Indianapolis?

Radio Station WIBC Admits The 'Real' Reason They Are Dumping GOP Extremist Rush Limbaugh

<snip>

Advertisers can't handle the pressure and loss of customers. Most companies, other than those run by Republican Dittoheads, are avoiding Rush Limbaugh like the plague. This was not the case in 2012. That year, self-proclaimed 'El Rushbo' enjoyed sitting on the king's throne of Conservative 'hate radio' with a plethora of large lucrative sponsors. That all changed after he called an unknown college student a 'slut' and 'prostitute' while she advocated for insurance-paid birth control at a congressional hearing. Once Limbaugh's rant hit social media and went viral, huge sponsors like Ford, GM, McDonald's, Subway, Carbonite…began to pull their ads immediately after seeing the public's outrage.

Where will they get their Three-Hours-Hate every morning?


As long as we have net-neutrality rightwingers/Republicans/T-pottiers can get their Rush fix for free on the "internets". Oh wait...

First Howard Stern was gone.. many many years ago... now Rush Limbaugh. What does that say about Indiana?
 
Limbaugh's been on the air nationally for 26 years.
Regardless of whether Sandra Flooooook came into the picture, sooner rather than later his market share was going to shrink as he begins to wind down his career.
It's been an amazing run ! :beer:

Actually, it's been kind of disturbing.

The GOP has gone from being a mainstream party to a fringe party, because a lot of sensible republicans live in terror of being criticized.

Now, since you are all going to blame Sandra Fluke for his woes. The point is, there really was a sensible policy discussion to be had, but Rush went the low road and attacked the woman personally.
 
Limbaugh is done.

BFD. Even if he retired tomorrow the left will never come close to seeing that kind of success. Everyone they've put up against Rush has bitten the dust. That's gotta really piss you liberals off.

As long as Democrats keep doing what they're doing......Rush will have a huge audience.

Yes, Rush has mastered the cutting edge technology of 1920.

Something progressives have failed repeatedly at. Who does that reflect more poorly on?
 
If I was Limbaugh's producer I would be worried.
Indiana is a VERY conservative state. Very. I live here.
So it is a microcosm of his general audience demographic. If he can only garner 6% marketshare here...well...
