Controversial conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh will no longer be heard on Boston’s WRKO radio station in the coming future.
The Rush Limbaugh Show’s syndicator, Premiere Networks, could not come to an agreement with the Massachusetts radio station and so the show will be dropped, Boston.com reports.
After Limbaugh’s now infamous comments about Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke, his program, along with many others, have failed to attract the lucrative advertisers that previously purchased airtime on the popular programs. In February 2012, Limbaugh called Fluke a "slut" and "prostitute" after she testified to Congress that the university should provide insurance coverage for contraceptives, The Wall Street Journal reported.
WRKO is home to many prominent conservative voices in the radio industry, including Mark Levin, Jeff Kuhner and Howie Carr, Mediaite reported.
Limbaugh’s program was also recently dropped by an Indianapolis radio station, WIBC. Although Premier Networks charges national radio stations a high fee for its more popular programs, officials say the move was not a financial matter.
“It’s not an inexpensive show to air, so there is a business element to the decision. But this has more to do with the long-term direction of the station,” Charlie Morgan, WIBC’s local market manager, said about the decision.
