Is there a loss of revenue estimate on Limbaugh advertising losses?

I'd imagine it's pretty extensive, however nothing I've read so far has given any sort of estimate as to what this may cost in lost advertising revenue...

Any links?

he can get to replace them. I suspect some will come limping back later once the controversy dies down. Of course his implied boycott may be a little chilling. If I was a potential advertiser, I would have to wonder if I would want to get into that potential downside.

Also I wonder if many still have to pay for a period of time even if they are no longer being advertised as part of their contract. It may be a while before the financial impact hits.

Buyers make up the slack. All I have heard is psychobabble. Maybe the anti-Rush forces will patronize the droppers. If not. ???? It is one thing to complain but another to buy the product. If nobody buys they will raise Rush Ad rates.
