If he wasn't a fat, bigoted, misogynistic, racist, I might feel sorry for him.


Baby, please come back!

Actually he's begging his affiliates not to dump his show (the ones that haven't already).

You've been wrong consistently throughout this entire controversy. I just thought I'd point that out.

You're right for once to celebrate, Voodoo.

This is how it should work. Free market working as intended. Go off the reservation and piss off most of your advertisers... watch your business go down the tubes.

If he finds new ones who want to associate with him, fine. If not, adios, fatty.

What have I been wrong about specifically? I've only stated that his sponsors would return eventually. I've made no other statement other than to call him a moron and a misogynist.

Rush gives away his show to many affiliates. Having more affiliates means more potential listeners and that lets him charge more for the national ads (some of which he reads himself). But the affiliates only want even a free show so they can sell the remaining ad slots to various national and local companies.

A lot of the affiliates are having to fill their ad slots with the nearly free PSAs which isn't enough to cover the costs of broadcasting a free show. So they need to decide to either wait it out and hope the advertisers for the ad slots they control come back or drop the show for something more profitable.

Rush himself has enough money to wait out the return of advertisers, the only question is how many radio stations will still be playing his show once they do come back.

I dont much care either way. Dont listen to him, but he has the numbers of people that do. Either way, on or off air makes no difference to me. Never have listened to him or beck.
