Clear Channel just flipped Limbaugh's WPGB in Pittsburgh to country music.

Rush Limbaugh has an achey breaky heart today. Clear Channel just flipped Limbaugh's WPGB in Pittsburgh to country music. It had fallen to 11th in Pittsburgh, echoing hate radio's plummeting popularity across the country. He got picked up by the smaller WJAS in Pittsburgh, owned by Radio Partners LLC, and 7,000 watts compared to WPGB's 15,000. It is AM to boot, which likely suffers more from interference than the FM WPGB would have. Pittsburgh is considered the 25th largest radio market in the U.S.

Surely some female country & western singer came up with a country & western version of 'These Boots Were Made For Walking.'
