WBAL Radio cancels Rush Limbaugh
Station is first to drop show, wants to focus on local news
By Rob Hiaasen
Sun reporter
Originally published March 14, 2006

Rush Limbaugh, one of the most popular and polarizing radio personalities of recent years, has been sacked in Baltimore.

WBAL-AM Radio has canceled Limbaugh's syndicated call-in talk show, saying it wants to focus on local news and hosts. It is the first station to cancel the show, which is heard in nearly 600 markets, according to Limbaugh's syndicate, Premiere Radio Networks.

"In this market at this time, we just think we can perform better without him," said Jeff Beauchamp, station manager and vice president at WBAL. "It was a great run, though."

After a decade in Baltimore, the conservative talk-show host will no longer be heard on WBAL after May 31. Sandwiched between local hosts Chip Franklin and Ron Smith, Limbaugh has been a WBAL mainstay in its noon-to-3 p.m. time slot. WBAL, fourth among adults in its market and fifth among listeners age 12 and older, has seen Limbaugh's ratings decline. According to Arbitron, which rates radio stations, Limbaugh's audience share on WBAL dropped 27 percent last fall compared to fall 2004.

Rush's numbers are plummeting right along with Bush's. I hope he and his ilk are soon removed from our airwaves.

8. Beginning of the last chapter of a fascistic drug addict's career
Limbaugh's affiliates will drop him one by one by one as owners live to realize that the proto-fascist Neocon propaganda that OxyRushmo has been spewing is not only no longer popular but a distinct danger to our nation.

And I will not have one shred of pity for Limbaugh as his life spirals downward. May he suffer greatly for the lies and evil he has helped perpetrate on Americans. I can only hope his old handler, Roger Ailes, suffers an even more humiliating fate.

10. KDKA Pittsburgh got rid of him last year, in favor of O'Reilly, then moved
O'Reilly to late night and put a local interest guy on in their time slot (12:00-3:00PM). They also canned a right wing hatemonger in the mornings (Mike Pintek). Now all they have to do is get rid of the right wing hate-mongering Honsberger who is on 3:00-5:00PM.
