Cenk Uygur's recent diary, A Challenge to Rush: Prove Your Ratings, is timely. I've always questioned the numbers that blowhards like Limbaugh or Beck, etc. confidently toss out. However, there's no question that Limbaugh's show is syndicated widely. And that's just where phase 2 of the operation to squash this maggot leads.
Limbaugh Advertisers Flee Show Amid Storm
For now, the ad boycott is uncomfortable but not crippling for Mr. Limbaugh, who is estimated to make $50 million a year and whose program is a profit center for Premiere Radio Networks, the company that syndicates it. The program makes money both through ads and through fees paid by local radio stations, and while it often has sparked outrage during more than two decades on the air, efforts at ad boycotts in the past have had no measurable effect. Liberal groups and activists, however, hope that this time is different.
If you follow me over the jump, i'll show you just how different it could be.
Following is a list of all the stations carrying Limbaugh's show, according to his website. Perhaps those in your area should receive a little feedback. Bonus points if you can get any local groups (progressives, health, church, etc.) to participate.
Not all station websites are provided, and i don't have time to look them all up, so if anyone has a link to add, please post it in the comments and i'll try to update the list. (Please include "update" in the subject.)
UPDATE: 4fx breaks the news that KPUA AM 670 in Hilo, Hawaii has already cut ties with the maggot! Hawaii-station-cancels-Rush
Also, Memory Corrupted reminds us in the comments that, while email is easy, pen & paper may be best for getting your message the attention it deserves. And please remember that simply ranting about the maggot--while perfectly understandable--is less likely to be effective than a thoughtful, considered letter.
UPDATE 2: hungrycoyote passes on the news that WBEC in Pittsfield, Mass. has also dropped him.
