As mentioned last August in a previous report, dead air, which simply means radio silence, is described as one of the worst things that can happen to a station. Impatient listeners switch to another station. A minute of dead air may not sound like a long time. But in radio, it's like a lifetime.

It happened again on Cumulus Radio's WWCK in Flint, MI on Monday, October 20 during Rush Limbaugh.

Prevagen has been advertising on Rush Limbaugh. In previous weeks, they were advertised as being available at Walgreens, Rite Aid and CVS pharmacies.

This is a follow up to a story presented last month. Home Depot customer service continues to deny that they advertise on Rush Limbaugh, even when given hard evidence that their Blinds.com subsidiary continues to advertise on that program. The customer service rep refused to acknowledge Blinds.com being a unit of Home Depot so she ended the conversation and hung up. Note the plug by Rush Limbaugh before the commercial break during the Rush Limbaugh program from July 16 and captured for the the world to hear in the Blinds.com/Home Depot entry in the Stop Rush database This writer strongly encourages everyone who is reading this piece to contact Home Depot at 1-800-466-3337 and if you have a Home Depot card, cut up the card like I did and mail it with your letter of complaint to Home Depot. The Home Depot boycott is in full swing.

Last January, the Atlanta based Home Depot chain of home improvement centers bought the leading Internet window covering vendor Blinds.com, based in Houston. Blinds.com is a national advertiser on Rush Limbaugh with Limbaugh himself voicing their spots.

Last Thursday, what was thought to be just another free PSA was aired locally during Rush Limbaugh in Flint MI. The spot seemed to be a Miss Dig type message to call 811 before starting a digging project. But then I heard that it was a message from Enbridge.

CVS Pharmacy, which is not a Rush Limbaugh advertiser, has been getting mentioned during that program in commercials for anti-itch medication TriCalm.

Faced with mounting pressure from monitors catching Quicken Loans spots airing during Rush Limbaugh on isolated local stations against their wishes and posting those incidents in the Stop Rush database, Quicken Loans has forced Rush Limbaugh's syndicator Premiere Radio Networks to issue the following statement which was posted on their Facebook page:

The right-wing propaganda source Newsmax, the same people behind Social Security Free, has introduced a new scam for gullible conservative Rush Limbaugh listeners.

Rush Limbaugh lost another station to a format change, this one in Fargo, ND. KRWK 101.9 FM, which had a talk format for over a year, has changed its format back to a rock format. Thanks to Paul Leintz who tipped us off at the Boycott Rush Limbaugh's Sponsors to SHUT HIM DOWN Facebook page.
