Rush and Sean's ratings are tumbling

[green73]

Rush Limbaugh's ratings have fallen sharply in recent months, according to a new report by Arbitron.

Limbaugh still has the top-rated radio talk show in the country, but his audience has dropped by 33 percent since October. And he's not the only one--Sean Hannity's ratings have also slipped by 28 percent.

A spokesperson for Premiere Radio, which distributes both Limbaugh's and Hannity's shows, told Crain's Business that the company wasn't worried about the ratings dip, since they were still the two biggest talk show hosts in America.

It will be cool when national talk radio is dominated by Jack Hunter, Mike Church, Jerry Doyle etc.

yeah. Hannity and Limbaugh will be mere relics of the neo-con past.

I bet they blame it on the economy and peoples inability to buy cars that come with working radios .

And I blame the cars not-working on people beating the shit out of the radios when trying to dial the channel away from one of these morons. I'm surprised Berry Young hasn't been brought up, he's just as bombastic, and full of shit - but might just be more local. (Phoenix)

Best news I've heard all day.

There are TONS of great libertarian alternatives too, like the awesome shows streaming live, 24/7 at LRN.FM

I especially love the Freedom Feens Podcast.

Interesting

Be Part of the Arbitron Ratings

For 50 years Arbitron has been a leader in reporting "the ratings." We find out what the public—young and old—listens to on the radio and what you have to say about those stations. Then we make sure that the people who make programming decisions hear you. Hearing what you have to say is more important to radio stations than ever before. Your input—and your opinions—really count.

Hummm.... maybe we can help them with their ratings...

Rush's response is that he's still #1? lol

Thats like someone bragging that they have the best house in Detroit because it has functional plumbing.

Yeah I wonder if there's a way we could help them. This would certainly be a great cause in our overall mission to spread liberty.

I only listen to those guys when I want to know what the media is currently pushing or talking about. Mike Church makes them both seem like political lightweights.
