1. Did you ask for a source?

Or did Rush tell him?

Hannity have gone up.

6. Tell him you'll discuss it when he has a verifiable source.

Until then, he can shove his rumors. ;)

8. You know, I remember getting an e-mail about that too.

Hey, mine was from my BIL too, come to think of it!

He's in the biz, too.

10. Thanks for the link.

I mentioned this story in my post below (Post #9), but did not have a link at the ready.

9. I don't think that's true.

I apologize for not having a handy link, but the CEO of AAR posted on Huffington Post last week, or early this week, because the "AAR is dying" meme got really loud after they started taking donations from listeners. He said that's absolutely not true, that what they were doing was no different than a lot of businesses do, and they are not doing down. They keep getting new stations, so I take what BIL says with a salt lick. :)

12. I'm sure many would LIKE to see this happen...

That may explain why there are all of these sort of rumours floating around about it.

Someone or the other has said since the beginning it was on it's way out.
