Rush Limbaugh’s Downward Spiral Continues: Another Demotion, Another Step Toward Irrelevancy
Stations are dropping the conservative firebrand with amazing frequency.


The good news for Rush Limbaugh: One month after being notified he was getting dumped by his Boston talk radio host station, the talker has a new AM home in the city.

The bad news: The station currently boasts a 0.6 rating, trails four non-commercial stations in the market, and becomes yet another big-city, cellar-dwelling outpost that Limbaugh is forced to call home.

The station, WKOX, is the type of “bottom-rung” affiliate that Limbaugh was rarely associated with during his halcyon days as the king of talk radio. But those days seem to be dwindling as the Boston fall from grace has previously played out for Limbaugh in places like Los Angeles and Indianapolis. In each instance, Limbaugh exited a prosperous, longtime radio home and was forced to settle for an also-ran outlet with miniscule ratings.

Limbaugh’s ongoing major market woes can be traced to his 2012 on-air meltdown over Sandra Fluke, where he castigated and insulted the graduate student for three days on his program, calling her a “slut” and suggesting she post videos of herself having sex on the Internet. (Fluke’s sin in the eyes of Limbaugh was testifying before Congress in favor of contraception mandates for health care insurance.)

1. I'll only be satisfied when he's GONE from every station!

I did some research and his contract ends January 1, 2017! THEN we'll never have to hear his disgusting words again! I never listen to that idiot, but (living in Ga.) there are lots of dimwits around THIS STATE who listen to him religiously. I'm going to enjoy every minute of their whining and crying that they'll miss him.

2. Is he still one of the few choices troops overseas have provided to them?

If so, I wish that would end

[Marie Marie]

3. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Good news. I hope his demise will be slow and humiliating. He is human waste.

[Skittles]

4. hit the bricks, pal, and take that damned confederate flag with you

5. Rush who?

[PatrickforO]

6. As the saying goes, Rush sowed the wind.

Now he's reaping the whirlwind.

I'm glad. He is a horrible human being.

9. That wind better blowhard.

[Betty Karlson]

11. He's becoming a relic of the days of greater national shame.

He should not be forgotten, but remembered as an example of bigotry and everything bigotry brought down.

[SoapBox]

7. It's high time for the Haters to be shut down.

Long over due.

8. This is a good sign.

Next up: Fox 'News'.

12. Be done with him

A lot of the problems in this country can be lain at this cretins feet. I know he doesn't have but one vote like me but he did and still does have a lot of influence. Maybe it is true that the people who are influenced by him are the low info voters but they hold one thing dear to our democracy and thats a vote.
