Broadcast Giant 'Dropping Limbaugh, Hannity' - Source Claims Major Shakeup Coming to Radio Industry
Joe Kovacs * WND
PALM BEACH, Fla. – Two of the most successful names in radio, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, are soon to be dropped by Cumulus Media, the second-largest broadcaster in the U.S., according to a published report.
In a story by Dylan Byers, the Politico says an industry source claims Cumulus is planning to let go of both Limbaugh and Hannity from its stations at the end of the year.
The source indicated the broadcasting giant won’t renew its contracts with both popular voices, removing the two most highly rated conservative talkers from more than 40 Cumulus channels in major markets.
The source also said negotiations between Cumulus and Premiere Networks, the division of Clear Channel Communications which distributes Limbaugh and Hannity’s shows, came to a halt over disagreements about the cost of distribution rights.
“Cumulus is known to drive a hard bargain on costs, and Clear Channel is known to seek top dollar for big names,” Byers noted.
Sean Hannity
Radio insiders have cautioned that both Cumulus and Clear Channel have engaged in brinkmanship on previous contract talks only to resume discussions.

It’s a start.
More like the other way around there dropping Cumulus. Clear Channel recently bought WOR in New York City, The only reason that Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity were on WABC owned by Cumulus is that up until now Clear Channel had not station of its own in NYC.
This puff piece by Dylan Byers from Politico is wishful think nothing more.
Limbaugh sucks, he’s so so bad, they should get Zen Gardner to replace the lack of real news on this network, get a real human.
