Hannity Getting DUMPED

Sean Hannity is set to be bounced from Cumulus, the second-biggest radio network in the United States, according to multiple reports on Thursday night.

Hannity and Rush Limbaugh have been involved in tense negotiations with Cumulus, which has around 40 stations nationwide, over new syndication deals. The Limbaugh negotiations have been especially public and bitter. In July, reports surfaced that Cumulus was intending to drop both hosts. But, on Thursday, Mediaite wrote that Hannity is likely to go, while Politico wrote that Limbaugh is likely to stay in "virtually" every market he had been on.

All of this intrigue was compounded by a very public intervention from Michael Savage, another right-wing radio host. Speaking on his show, Savage said that he thought he would take over from Hannity.

"I predict, right here, right now, that I, Michael Savage and the 'Savage Nation,' is going to take over 'The Sean Hannity Show' time slot by the end of the year," Savage said. "Look, his show is done, and it's sad...I am the heir apparent to afternoon drive on the East Coast and around America on Cumulus stations, which have the most powerful stations in the radio world."

There are a hundred more, waiting in line, to fill the void.

Shuffling messengers will not kill the message.

Whatever actions that displaced Hannity must resume for his replacement. After multiple failed attempts, perhaps advertisers will distance themselves from the entire genre completely.

Watch now as this moron claims that the liberals are silencing him, and that's why his show is getting canceled. It has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that Rush Limbaugh is better at the "loud dumbass" schtick than he is, and his show is a terrible whine fest about the IRS and fabricated Obama conspiracies.

As amazing as it is, Hannity is less worthy of airtime than even Glenn Beck. The fact that he has a show as well is mind-blowing.
