Rush Limbaugh Off Air in Philadelphia
byscottiex2
Limbaugh has been a mainstay on the CBS owned station in Philadelphia for at least 20 years.
Today he was replaced by Michael Smerconish with the intro "forget the anger, reason is back".
I called the station manager to confirm that it was in fact a permanent and to congratulate him on his public service.
This is one station, but it is a major market that is replacing hate speech one
program at a time. Hannity was dropped last year.
Of course it is all about money and proof that the boycott worked.

Rush has run his course at WSYB.
After more than 20 years as a fixture on Rutland’s talk/sports radio station, Rush Limbaugh was dropped this month from the AM station’s lineup, replaced by a syndicated sports talk show.
Debbie Grembowicz, WSYB’s general manager, released a statement addressing the decision to drop the controversial conservative talk show host.
“Any business trying to remain vital must grow and change,” Grembowicz wrote in an email. “Some changes are more noticeable than others. There are many considerations with every one. This is an instance where a challenging decision needed to be made with WSYB.”
She continued that she’s aware “that not everyone is happy when something they enjoy changes.”
