Our big late season snow event is over and the Limbaugh show's broadcast once again reached up here to Harrisburg. I recorded advertisers steadily, leaving off only a few in the closing minutes. There were fewer PSAs today than they have been having recently, but still quite a few at 12 noted during the time I logged. I'll include the log after the contact info below. A number of the remaining advertisers are pretty much hard core right wing themselves and it is unlikely that they will pull their ads simply out of a sense of community responsibility. For them, I am looking at ways of informing the non-Limbo-listening public of who the local companies are who are supporting his show. For others, I'm still working on the shaming route, this webform email I sent to Siuslaw Mortgage being an example:
I've been hearing your ads on the Rush Limbaugh Show on KPNW. Thank you so much for supporting hate speech radio in my community. Your contributions to the degradation of local civil discourse are greatly appreciated by me and all of my slutty friends. Tell me, how does it feel to be advertised on the same show as Goldline and Lear Capital and a half dozen other predatory companies who are trying to reel in suckers by promising them unrealistic investment returns? Feel at home?
UPDATE 5:45 PM PDT: I got an email response from Siuslaw. They pulled their ads from Rush yesterday and were surprised to hear that the ad aired today. I apologized for the sarcastic tone of my message and explained that it was the result of having not heard back from them when I called about this Tuesday, and still hearing their ad playing today.
Here are today's advertisers, I've done a strike-through on advertisers who were on recently but not the past few days. New advertisers at the top denoted with an asterisk * ...
