20. He's Cheap Programming...

Rushbo has never made much money for his affiliates...his show is in the middays one of the lesser important dayparts. He became "popular" cause stations could just plug in his show (especially now using computer automation) and not have to pay their own talents. For many years he was the only show available and with the help of Cheap Channel/Premier replaced hundreds of local shows around the country. There's little else to replace him with...especially now at AM radio is in its death throes.
