Cumulus Media has leaked a statement to the media that proves the impact of the advertiser boycott, as 48 of their top 50 advertisers have asked that they not be included on Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannitys shows.
Cumulus Media pushed back against Rush Limbaughs claim that he is not responsible for the decline in advertising revenue by leaking an anonymous statement to Radio Ink,
Forty-eight of the top 50 network advertisers have excluded Rush and Hannity orders. Every major national ad agency has the same dictate. Thats a stat Premiere Radio flat out denied. That statement is completely inaccurate. A number of the top spenders in the medium use talk radio to promote their brands and sell product, and many of them use The Rush Limbaugh Show and The Sean Hannity Show as the driving force of their marketing efforts.
Limbaugh is in total denial. He is completely responsible for at least part of the decline in ad revenue. His statements about Sandra Fluke have triggered an ongoing boycott that has cost Cumulus and Limbaugh millions of dollars. When 48 of a networks top 50 advertisers dont want their ads on his show, Limbaugh is losing money.

(5,279 posts)I say we should have a wake for Hannity's and Limbaugh"s shows. We could have a 45min fireworks tribute to our sadness. Free beer to clear our throats for eulogies. Four or five bands to cover the sound of our crying (Foo Fighters, Rage against the Machine, Springsteen for a little old school....help me out people).Bring a dish to pass I guess we could use about 420. I'm open to suggestions...
