Rush Limbaugh - OFF THE AIR - In Philly!!!

[BumRushDaShow]

88. As a multigenerational Philadelphian

I will note to you that the station that dropped him which is 1210 WPHT (formerly WCAU, the original CBS affiliate and with 50,000 watts) is a huge station and the fly-by-night FM station that claims they want him, is a former religious programming station located in beautiful downtown Camden, NJ (pop. 77,000 vs Philly 1.5 million) and is on a frequency that is way too close to music station 106.1.

The max range of FM is maybe 40 - 50 miles (and that RW station is not a maxed one). The max range for WPHT is hundreds and hundreds of miles.

I.e., he's through and will be relegated to the lower tier of verbal vomit like Boortz (who is going off the air in January) and Cunningham who like Boortz is probably airing some smaller stations not really near Philly and like the type Rash may move to. The irony being that the bigger, 50,000 watt RW talk station in Philly - 990 WNTP, which runs Bennett, Medved, Gallagher, Prager, etc., didn't want to touch him with a 10 foot pole, probably for fear of all the massive egos on that station's syndicated line-up.
