Cumulus dropping Limbaugh, Hannity at the end of 2013

[Smilodonfatalis]

Are there still people out there who listen to these stupid jerks?

Cumulus planning to drop Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity - POLITICO.com

Radio syndicators lost $100 million in 2012 on Limbaugh alone.

When companies found out their ads were running on his stupid show, they dropped out like Cheech and Chong in a calculus class.

How did I know this was coming? Another Libtard trying to celebrate the death of Rush and Sean?

The article clearly states that this won't effect either of them one little bit. They'll just change to a different service and Cumulus will have to fill their spots with "current staff" which'll mean a massive drop in income.

If anything, it'll mean more listeners and probably more $$$ for both.

Hey, it's been a while since we had a "Rush is gone" thread.

So, here's the skinny for you low information folks. Premier, representing Rush and Sean, didn't like the deal proposed by Cumulus. Sounds like they didn't like the numbers - money - and when you've got the two top broadcasters in the country you can afford to tell Cumulus, and some/all of it's 40 markets referenced, to go fly a kite and cut a deal with someone else. Happens all the time in the radio industry.

Unfortunately for the lefty idiots it does not mean that their least favorite conservative voices are going away. But don't spread that around. It'll ruin all of their fun.

No such word as libtard. I've already gone over this on this message board. Using the fake word libtard makes you sound like an ignoramus.

You are a liar. It will mean less listeners and less money.

Right. They didn't like the deal because they were offered less money due to the fact that Limbaugh is losing money because he lost so much advertisement for them with his stupid bigoted comments that appeal to the Archie Bunker mentality.

What longknife is trying to say is that Rush and Sean are venereal diseases that we just can't get rid of. America had unprotected sex with a transexual hippopotamus from Africa and Rush is the result of that union.

As your post shows, not only is Libtard a word, but it's a word that describes you quite well.

So, do the world a favor and hold your breath until Either one of them are gone. Shouldn't be any problem right? They will be off the air any second now.

Dumbass libtard.

Never made the claim they would be off the air.

Meh, you 2 seem incapable of responding or even understanding my facts and logic.

And also because he has lost nearly half his audience post Fluke, by his OWN phony numbers.

Pre Fluke:

May 26, 2011
RUSH:. According to reports at the peak of The Oprah's popularity, her show had 40 million weekly viewers. Now, that's not bad. That's almost as many as we have every day here. So our hat's off to The Oprah, 40 million viewers a week, not bad.

Post Fluke:

March 28, 2012
RUSH: We haven't lost any audience in this program.* The audience is larger than it's ever been... But the advertisers who've really been hurt are the ones who've abandoned here. I just assume everybody understood that. Let me tell you: We have 22 million people here

Proof he's a liar:

November 10, 2010
RUSH: I'm in the broadcasting business, just as they are.* They might want to say they're in the journalism business, the news business, and in a way they are, but even though they're cable, they're broadcasters.* I mean there are certain skill sets that you have to succeed at, and if you don't, you're gone.* If this program lost 20% of the audience I'd be gone.* I would take myself away.*

So your point was proven wrong, and you have to jump on being all butthurt over a word used to describe liberal idiots, i.e. libtard.

And seeing as Clear Channel owns WOR, it just makes more sense to move away from Cumulus. One less hand it the pot, so to speak.

Rush Limbaugh's contentious and seemingly inevitable divorce from Cumulus Media and WABC has moved another step closer to reality, according to a published report Sunday - and Sean Hannity may be leaving with him.

New York radio observers have been expecting for the past year that Limbaugh and probably Hannity would leave WABC, which is owned by Cumulus, for rival WOR.

WOR was purchased last year by Clear Channel, which owns Premiere Networks, which syndicates the Limbaugh and Hannity shows.

One would need facts and logic before he was understood.

Their contracts with Cumulus ended, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity wanted to negotiate a new contract with a new salary. Cumulus said no, Clear Channel is ready to meet their demands. It is a simple matter of finances. It doesn't mean that Cumulus intends to become more liberal because they are looking to fill the empty spots with Michael Savage and Mark Levin, neither of whom are known to play nice with liberals.

And, limbaugh says -

Limbaugh: Don't worry about Cumulus - POLITICO.com

To whomever said the left is wishing for limbaugh's "death", nonsense. I would fight for his (and Hannity's) right to spew their hate and lies all they want.

But, I also support the marketplace that is turning it's back on them.

There is still a lot of mindless hate in this country but, little by little, people are turning away from that and using their heads instead. Deal with it.

Clear Channel has more stations that Cumulus anyway. Limbaugh and Hannity will be expanding their listenership with this jump.

Exactly. Conservative talk radio is big business, thanks to Rush and Sean and other big names like them. In fact Rush Limbaugh pretty much single handedly put conservative talk radio into business and as a result of more and more stations jumping on that bandwagon, and each conservative talk show requires much more staff--researchers, call screeners, fact checkers, information specialists, etc. than do most other syndicated programs--Rush has probably directly and indirectly created a bunch more jobs than Obama can claim.

So if Cumulus, who doesn't have anywhere near as many big market stations as Clear Channel and others, is unwilling to pay the price to get the big audience guys, somebody will be more than happy to take them on.
