Ed Schultz kicks Rush's ass today in content and approach, and his ratings are growing exponentially.
Your sidekick was arguing Rush is awesome. Not he is not, not in context, not when he pulls one million from more than 300 million, while the Father pulled twenty to thirty million from 140 million.
Rush is a big frog in a very small pond.
Ed Schultz....Who the ef is Ed Schultz..
I did a little research.....Keep in mind that Rush Limbaugh is on over 600 stations in every major market in all 50 states as well as Canada. Rush is also on the Armed Services Radio Network...
Ed Schultz appears on.......58 stations. Most of which are small low powered stations some powerd by as little as 1000 watt transmitters. Basically a 1kW transmitter can boradcast a daytime signal about 2-3 miles from the tower.
NIce try Jakey.
Ed Schultz better start selling some ads or start buying time himself...Cuz, nobodoy listens and advertisers aren't buying.
Oh Schultz is on in NYC.....He's on a station that does not cover the NY Metro area. According to radio-lacator.com, WWRL 1600 AM has a signal pattern that hits Brooklyn,Queens and nearby communities on Long Island.
Here check this out.. It affrims your claim that Ed Schultz's ratings are increasing exponentially....

Let's a take a look at the stations in NYC that handle each respective host and compare, shall we?
Ok....WWRL AM 1600 carries Ed Schultz....That station's all show ratings for all audinces is 0.3..or about 100,000 listeners per day.. A day in radio cosnsists of 6am to 12 midnight.
A radio audience is considered to be inclusive of all persons 12 and older.
Now Rush Limbaugh's show which is heard on WABC-AM pulled a 3.8 rating or about 1.3 million listeners..
Now Shcultz has been on the air long enough to the extent that if major stations in major markets thought his show worthy to pick up, these station managements clamoring for revenue would pick up a show as popular as you believe, would they not?
So how do you explain the fact that Schultz is on in Three major markets( LA, NYC and Chi) all on low power stations and the remainder of his affilates are low to medium power stations with little audience penetration?....Just asking because of your boastful claim that Ed Schultz mania seems to be sweeping the nation.
