Jul 2013

That makes sense about it being the end of the year.

So essentially there are two huge station owners.

What I'm a little confused at is Cumulus/Premier (who I've never heard of) they already renewed Limbaugh through 2016, why are they negotiating now? I'm curious what' Hannity's deal is as well. Is this all based on the lost ad revenue?

I'd think the shows would be too expensive for the smaller independent stations.
