In reply to the discussion: How to hurt Rush, perspective from a radio insider. [View all]ladywnch
(2,672 posts)6. I had read somewhere (here?) before that Clear Channel "MAKES" local affiliates take Rush's show
regardless of whether they want it or not. It is a mandatory program to get access to the rest of CC's programming. The article went on to say that is how CC/Rush get to bill him as 'America's most listened to' personality. The fact that no one is listening to those stations during his program doesn't matter......just how many markets/potential listeners.
Is none of this correct?

I would appreciate it if you keep the link/attribution to Balloon-Juice and commenter Jager.

If you print it out and send it registered mail and a copy to the FCC it will be much more effective
