Have to admit I do like those stats. What is the 2nd radio station. I know about Hawaiian one. Justice wanted Mar 2012 #1

It was a station in Massachusetts. TexasTowelie Mar 2012 #4

I was stunned KHVH would do that then learned it was KPUA in Hilo. dkf Mar 2012 #6

I was watching Ed tonight and the count is at twelve sponsors. n/t TexasTowelie Mar 2012 #2

it's actually 14 sponsors - ThinkProgress is regularly tweeting progress on this. NRaleighLiberal Mar 2012 #3

It just gets better and better. The stations dropping him can be VERY significant if more do it. Stinky The Clown Mar 2012 #5

A biggie is Netflix - the number to call is below. NRaleighLiberal Mar 2012 #7

Netflix isn't owned by wingnuts like Blockbuster. EFerrari Mar 2012 #10

Agreed - but they should ensure they are not advertising on Rush's show. NRaleighLiberal Mar 2012 #11

I sent them a little nudge EFerrari Mar 2012 #12

I didn't get the call letters or city. Again, it was mentioned on the Ed Show.

First of all, Hilo isn't very big. Im surprised they had enough of an audience for Limbaughs show period.

Someone who said he was in the radio biz posted here in DU that the best way to get to him is through the local sponsors. That affects the local stations and they are far more likely to run instead of fight.

they are virtually impossible to reach by email. Call customer service and lay into them about Rush.

Outfits with three employees you never heard of.

No one wants to touch Limbaugh now with a vaccinated ten foot pole.

Obviously he's going down full of shit right to the very end.

please do bring on the next round of sponsors. I have all kinds of money to not spend on companies that advertise on your show. I can boycott indefinitely more importantly I can call in hundreds of others to boycott and they all have lots of friends and acquaintances as well. Oh and this is going to be discussed on campuses all over the US, not just the one I go to.
