THE “FlushRush” MOVEMENT IS WORKING ON GETTING RID OF LIMBAUGH

It’s taken decades, but today’s AM radio listeners are tired of "hate radio".

 

I was really disturbed a couple of years ago when I had learned that the leading talk-radio station in the San Francisco Bay Area for decades, KGO-Radio, an ABC station had been acquired by Cumulus Broadcasting.  The reason I was disturbed is that iHeart Radio and Cumulus Broadcasting are also the parent companies of most of the right-wing hate-talk broadcasters.  Today, they are new KGO parent company and they are said to be financially in trouble.  The rumors have it that both of these companies are going bankrupt. 

 

Cumulus has already re-structured KGO’s broadcast format and they have laid-off a number of the long-time local radio stars.  Many locals you ask have since moved their dial over to the K-CBS all-news station.  These are AM radio dials that probably hadn’t been changed for over three decades.

 

The other reason that people are against Cumulus and iHeart is that they are also the parent companies of the right-wing talk stations across the nation where you can listen to right-wing-nut-cases like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage and Glenn Beck.

 

The word on the street is that Limbaugh, the blow-hard that has been called the “King of Hate Radio”, isn’t even being offered a new broadcasting contract.  The “get rid of Rush” program called “FlushRush” is today seriously hurting Limbaugh.

 

I’ve personally been waiting for years to hear the news that I heard recently about how the “Hate King” isn’t doing so well today.

 

Rush’s predominant audience is now over 65 years old. (Not exactly the #1 radio focus audience of 26 to 40.)  Major sponsors and advertisers have been dropping Limbaugh’s program for years and many today won’t go near his toxic show.  So hate-talk radio is costing the radio industry millions in potential income.  Limbaugh has lost most of the major stations across the country and most of his current stations are low power, small local stations.  His overall national ratings are very low and he’s become just generally bad business for most middle-of-the-road AM radio stations. With all of that happening, no wonder he’s not mentioning any future potential broadcast contracts on his daily show. (In the past, Limbaugh always bragged on the air about his multi-million dollar contracts.)

 

Being that this is looking like the possible beginning of the end of this radio blowhard’s career, I would like to thank the many activists/volunteers/sponsors and concerned consumers of the “FlushRush” movement who made all this happen.  This just goes to prove that the “free market” may take some time to work, but it will work when people have finally had enough of listening to all that hateful rhetoric.

 

So thank you one and all that have finally had enough of the Rushbo.
