The Minefield is Complete- RUSH comes home
August 13, 2004 – John Rohm, Clear Channel's Regional Vice President, announced today that effective November 15th, Rush Limbaugh will change his radio address to FM NewsTalk 104.7 (WPGB).
Limbaugh's show will air weekdays from 12-3 PM on FM NewsTalk 104.7. "Rush is credited with changing America's radio landscape with his passionate style, effectively setting the standard for all of talk radio. He's the most imitated and most quoted talk show host in America" said Rohm. "We are providing him a forum on a new station, with younger demos that will ultimately ensure the continued growth of his show in Pittsburgh."
"Welcome home Rush!"
Rush will join FM NewsTalk 104.7's established line up of top-rated talk shows – Quinn & Rose in the Morning, Sean Hannity, Ellis Cannon, Glenn Beck and Michael Savage. "We're thrilled to welcome the highest-rated radio talk show in America to FM NewsTalk 104.7," said Gene Romano, Clear Channel Senior Vice President of Programming. "In the most recent ratings period, WPGB had the top ratings of any news-talk station in Pittsburgh mornings, afternoons and evenings. Rush completes the line-up in a big way."
Jay Bohannon, Program Director of FM NewsTalk 104.7 commented, "We are extremely humbled and proud to be able to present the man who paved the way for radio stations like FM NewsTalk 104.7 and our featured personalities. It is so exciting to think of the sound of FM NewsTalk 104.7 with America's greatest NewsTalk personality, smack in the middle of Pittsburgh's most listened to morning and afternoon NewsTalk programs."
This entry would not be complete without reminding the duplicitous left, in Pittsburgh and environs thereabout, that this lineup also includes the inimitable Matt Drudge on Sunday evenings from 10:00 PM to 1:00 AM.
If I am recalling correctly, there is also talk of putting Neil Boortz on from 11:00 until 2:00 AM, weekdays, hopefully rescuing us from After Dark which seems to validate the 98% complete and utter insanity that any loon with a shtick promotes as unwordly reality.
Sorry, but we get that every damb day from the dumbocrats so that by the time Nouri gets on, some of his guests actually sound sane.
