Rush's ratings in the big market cities are getting flushed down the toilet

Rush Limbaugh’s claim to radio fame has always been that he is a right wing talker who brings big ratings to major markets in blue states, but this isn’t the case anymore. Since he moved to Clear Channel his ratings in the nation’s two largest markets have nosedived. Rush Limbaugh went from having the number one talk show in Los Angeles to falling down to 37th place in the ratings. In New York, Limbaugh has dropped from fifth in the city to 22nd. His audience is now so small in both markets that he is being outdrawn by Spanish language stations and NPR.

I listened to Rush in the 90s regularly and I must say his critiques were rational and a good counterbalance to certain political assumptions, yet he has evolved into an obscenity and sadly too many good Republicans have tied their wagon to him, and it appears his star is dropping like a rock in large markets where he once dominated. I think this is very indicative of where this country is going. His rise to popularity in the 90s led to the Bush years, and his rapid decline will more likely than not result in Democratic majorities.

The Reagan democrats have been decimated, and those were many of the listeners for Rush.....now as in these large Markets.....the young are not listening, and the old scared people are simply dying off.......a new era has arrived, and quite frankly Rush is now becoming irrelevant.

The numbers are shocking because he is bringing in 50 million in contracted payments, and they are taking a bath.

The early numbers on some of the 2014 senate races are indicating that it may be more than Rush's numbers which are dropping.
