Limbaugh broadcasts dead air during commercial breaks

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/03/08/limbaugh-broadcasts-dead-air-during-commercial-breaks/


The exodus of advertisers fleeing from Rush Limbaugh may finally be taking a toll on his radio show.

Liberal watchdog group Media Matters noticed that on at least two occasions on Thursday, Limbaugh’s flagship station in New York, WABC, broadcast several minutes of dead air during commercial breaks.

Does his contract require a certain number of minutes per hour for the pathetic s.o.b. to rant? So if there are no advertisers, there will be dead air as he refuses to "work" longer than the required minutes?

Makes one wonder...
