Limbaugh is on over 600 stations and if Cumulus drops him he'll be picked up in a couple of days by the competition in those markets.
The impact of Limbaugh and boycotts

I read the article...
So no more Limbaugh and Hannity show on the radio?
Puh-leeze

Yeah, so? I never said he wouldn't. The topic of this thread is the impact of boycotts. You'd have to be extremely naive to believe that when the top national advertising agencies will not associate with Limbaugh or Hannity, that it isn't going to harm the profitability of their brands. Of course someone will pick them up, but they'd be stupid if they didn't get it at a discount.
Care to quote where I said that ES? You're trying to read into things a bit to much. See my above response to Walter.
That's how the world works. You say or do something stupid, there are consequences.
Because they play the game of rage, disgust and oh we are so ffn honest over here. And Joe S Ucker tunes right in.
And Colomluyadayada... whatever they are called are looking to lose even more.
No advertising dollars. No show.... ?
The show will go on much to the chagrin of people who think this is the end of Limbaugh and Hannity.
As I said... he'll just move down the dial and the stations that pick them up will make a bundle.
Or to Sirius/XM, or to the internet. It's a whole new world of telecommunications out there.
I haven't heard Howard Stern since he left free radio.
Those two are just going to pop up down the dial.
I sure hope Limbaugh doesn't disappear off the media. He's still funny as hell (even if it is unintentional). Beck's even funnier. And both are prettier than Coulter.

Don't you worry LG... he won't.
Meanwhile the Libs couldn't even keep a Lib Radio Show going in Boston. They were demoted to a local NPR station.
The US Libs call it censorship when their lib radio shows tank and are dropped.
Perhaps libs aren't as concerned with pounding rhetoric into other libs as cons are with doing the same to other cons so they don't try hard enough. lol
Makes no difference to me. I can laff at both or either.
Anyway, it sure looks like boycotts work.We should boycott politicians and religions.

Oh yes they are concerned. You bet they are. One need only look at Air America to see that as well as the Fairness Doctrine.
The Fairness Doctrine? It was eliminated in 1987. Why don't you complain about the Smoot-Hawley Tariff? Or tear down the Berlin Wall?
Eliminated by the best prez since Lincoln but it is still in the wings waiting to be re-enacted by the lefties.
The Fairness Doctrine: How We Lost it, and Why We Need it Back
It was never "enacted" in the first place.
Your paranoid delusions are as funny as the left-wingnuts who are utterly convinced the Republicans want to reinstate slavery.
You bet I'm paranoid. The following is from Wikipedia:
Support[edit]
In February 2005, U.S. Representative Louise Slaughter (Democrat of New York) and 23 co-sponsors introduced the Fairness and Accountability in Broadcasting Act (H.R. 501)[20] in the 1st Session of the 109th Congress of 2005-7 (when Republicans held a majority of both Houses). The bill would have shortened a station's license term from eight years to four, with the requirement that a license-holder cover important issues fairly, hold local public hearings about its coverage twice a year, and document to the FCC how it was meeting its obligations.[21] The bill was referred to committee, but progressed no further.[22]
In the same Congress, Representative Maurice Hinchey (another Democrat from New York) introduced legislation "to restore the Fairness Doctrine". H.R. 3302, also known as the "Media Ownership Reform Act of 2005" or MORA, had 16 co-sponsors in Congress.[23]
In June 2007, Senator Richard Durbin (D-Illinois) said, "It's time to reinstitute the Fairness Doctrine,"[24] an opinion shared by his Democratic colleague, Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts.[25] However, according to Marin Cogan of The New Republic in late 2008:
“Senator Durbin's press secretary says that Durbin has 'no plans, no language, no nothing. He was asked in a hallway last year, he gave his personal view'—that the American people were served well under the doctrine—'and it's all been blown out of proportion.'[26]”On June 24, 2008, U.S. Representative Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco, California (who had been elected Speaker of the House in January 2007) told reporters that her fellow Democratic Representatives did not want to forbid reintroduction of the Fairness Doctrine, adding "the interest in my caucus is the reverse." When asked by John Gizzi of Human Events, "Do you personally support revival of the 'Fairness Doctrine?'", the Speaker replied "Yes."[27] On October 22, 2008, Senator Jeff Bingaman (Democrat of New Mexico) told a conservative talk radio host in Albuquerque, New Mexico:
“I would want this station and all stations to have to present a balanced perspective and different points of view. All I’m saying is that for many, many years we operated under a Fairness Doctrine in this country, and I think the country was well-served. I think the public discussion was at a higher level and more intelligent in those days than it has become since.[28]”On December 15, 2008, U.S. Representative Anna Eshoo (Democrat of California) told The Daily Post in Palo Alto, California that she thought it should also apply to cable and satellite broadcasters.
“I’ll work on bringing it back. I still believe in it. It should and will affect everyone.[29]”On February 11, 2009, Senator Tom Harkin (Democrat of Iowa) told Press, "...we gotta get the Fairness Doctrine back in law again." Later in response to Press's assertion that "...they are just shutting down progressive talk from one city after another," Senator Harkin responded, "Exactly, and that's why we need the fair—that's why we need the Fairness Doctrine back."[30] Former President Bill Clinton has also shown support for the Fairness Doctrine. During a February 13, 2009, appearance on the Mario Solis Marich radio show, Clinton said:
“Well, you either ought to have the Fairness Doctrine or we ought to have more balance on the other side, because essentially there's always been a lot of big money to support the right wing talk shows.”Clinton cited the "blatant drumbeat" against the stimulus program from conservative talk radio, suggesting that it doesn't reflect economic reality.[31]
And Republicans make racist comments all the time. Red meat for the base. We aren't going to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine, and we aren't going to repeal the Civil Rights Acts. No matter what Rachel Maddow or Glenn Beck say.
Limbaugh celebrated today, August 1, 25 years on the air with his current show. Congrats and mega dittos.
History and current events show the Dems to be the racist party. Have you got any recent activity demonstrating Repub racism?
