Radio Insider Reveals Devastating Impact of StopRush on Clear Channel
by ProgLegs
Rush Limbaugh's receptionist
Buried deep in the comments on a Wednesday blog article http://www.bradblog.com/?p=10372 about the cancellation of the Randi Rhodes Show, a radio industry insider revealed the devastating impact of the 18 month-old StopRush movement on Rush Limbaugh's advertising power. attribution: None Specified The station employee confirms that the siege by online activists https://www.facebook.com/groups/flushrush/ has left Premiere Radio unable to attract legitimate advertisers to what was once radio's most lucrative advertising platform:
Uch. If you had any idea how much of my day is spent loading up PSAs and crappy MAB commercials to cover up the commercials of actual advertisers bailing from the Rush Limbaugh show. The only paying customers left are the flotsom and jetsom of the ad barrel; every scam website, colon blow medication, phony tax restoration outfits and erectile dysfunction herbs.
Premier isn't where a progressive talker wants to be anyway. They're becoming the bane of radio's existence.
