Huckabee Wants Limbaugh Fired As 129 Advertisers Sign 'No Rush' List

[There Is No Spoon]

Mike Huckabee's radio talk show syndicator has sent an email urging radio stations to replace Rush Limbaugh with Huckabee's show. The move comes as up to 129 advertisers have made "no Rush" programming demands in their media buys.

Reuters reported that some radio insiders believe that when Limbaugh's three dozen licensing contracts with Cumulus Media are up next year he will lose many affiliates to Huckabee, who is syndicated by Cumulus:

Quote:"I can guarantee you that the minute Cumulus' contract with Rush expires in New York, they will replace him with Huckabee," said Joel Hollander, the former CEO of CBS Radio now running private investment firm 264 Echo Place Partners.

It's not that Limbaugh is unpopular — he remains a huge audience draw. The problem is that radio stations must pay to broadcast his show, and if advertisers don't want to be on or near the show, then Limbaugh loses them money.

Mike would be far more attractive than Rush

I love how Mikey doesn't want Stinkbo's show pulled for any ethical reasons, but because he wants the spots himself. True blue republicans.

I had heard Huckabee was lurking around wanting to replace Limbaugh. LOL from damnation straight into hellfire.
