(Major shakeup for the radio industry) Cumulus planning to drop Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity

32. Cumulus

Owns stations

Clear Chanel in this case owns premier who owns the syndication rights for both shows. Clear channel also owns stations itself but in many market where it does not have a talk station cumulus owns the dominant talk station


And while I don't agree with rush or hannity there is no denying they bring more listeners than any other non sports radio talk show.

This article is poorly written by politico and try's to turn this in to more than it is.

This is simply a standoff between 2 parties over money. No matter what both shows will prob be #1 in their time slot amongst other talk offerings so its really a question of will cumulus and clear channel reach an agreement or will these shows leave those stations.

On another note I notice while the Forman and construction crews often listen to rush/hannity I rarely see the owners or sales people listen.
