And so it continues. The former King of Conservative Hate Radio, Rush Limbaugh, tumbles, fumbles and falls. Many wonder why he doesn't just retire.
Eric Boelhert reports the latest Limbaugh losses in his extensive Media Matters piece:
Fact: Years ago station owners lined up for the chance to pick up Limbaugh's powerhouse program.
Now, rumors are still swirling in Chicago that talk radio powerhouse WLS is poised to drop Limbaugh. The move was first reported in March and quickly denied by WLS's owner, Cumulus Media. But Limbaugh's ratings are clearly down in the Windy Cindy. According to a March report in the Chicago Tribune, Limbaugh's WLS show ranks 24th in the market, drawing 121,000 listeners in a metropolitan area of roughly 10 million people.

Jason Easley with Politicus writes:
Indianapolis Business Journal reported on Limbaugh getting demoted way down the (ratings) dial. Limbaugh is going from being on a top ten station in the city to a station in the bottom three.
Easley, asks the question:
Did Limbaugh’s political decline lead to his show’s decline, or did the advertising boycott cause his empire to crumble and his political influence to wither?
Hundreds of thousands of people following/supporting the Limbaugh protest, via
petitions and sponsor boycotts, understand and know why this is happening.
Time Magazine and Wall Street Journal know why this is happening. And most radio stations that carry Limbaugh's revenue-killing show know why this his happening. His
racist, misogynist, and homophobic program is toxic, and America is done with Rush Limbaugh and his hate speech.
