Community journalism perspective another wonderful friend of the blog who shares this important interview . . .
A personal reminiscence from Tom Bedell, who sold radio advertising in Kansas City and nationally--for 31 years.
Money line . . .
"Funny thing, the revenue the lovers generated was more than equal to the threatened losses from those that hated him. The station stayed the course and eventually those advertisers that hated benefited from Rush as the station’s ratings rose because of him. So even those that hated him were profiting from a great broadcaster. Isn’t that what broadcasters are supposed to do? Deliver ears. Rush did that. . ."

You decide . . .
Good call.
ReplyDeleteTV is picking up some of the slack but it's really disappointing how so many locals are trying to ignore the impact of rush. Love him or hate him, you can't deny that he left his mark.
^^^
Delete+100
Dogs "leave their mark" the same way Rush did: by shitting on the lawn.
ReplyDeleteShitting on dumb commies, you mean?
DeleteRush is in hell. So why does this matter now? Who care about "return on investment" of 1980's radio ad budgets.
ReplyDeleteNope. Hell is reserved for all those commies who want to build paradise with other people's money.

ReplyDeleteI just have to throw this out there. This is how stupid celebs are. Rosanna Arquette said Rush was antisemitic. Why would an antisemitic stand with Trump who stood with Israel and whose son is Jewish and whose daughter was converted to Judaism, and Rush who gave his life to Jesus Christ, who is Jewish. I can't believe how stupid celebs are.
RIP Rush. In Jesus name.
Rush was the greatest personality to grace the planet earth, he will be missed.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet, like a fart in the wind, his bad odor will eventually only be a bad memory. And he'll still be dead. Weird.
ReplyDeleteYou're a fart.
Delete6:54 - you are a typical. pissed off liberal who spouts hate with no knowledge of facts. I hope that some day you will understand the true value of each person and the power of community. However, I hope I never meet you.
ReplyDelete" I hope that some day you will understand the true value of each person"
ReplyDeleteAnd who's to say we haven't discovered Rush's true value? Too bad it's a negative number.
Like your IQ.
DeleteBreaking news: Rush Limbaugh is still sucking cock in hell!
ReplyDeleteFinally giving your Mom a break.
DeleteI am sure God will welcome you. I hope you have accepted Jesus as your Savior.
ReplyDelete^^ Idiot. Grow the fuck up.
ReplyDeleteSo God has revealed to you who will be in Heaven and who will be condemned to an eternity in Hell. Your relationship with God must be amazing. Are you sitting at the right hand of God with his Don at your feet? See you at Mass on the morning.
ReplyDeleteRush Limbaugh was a racist, geriatric fucktard like Tracey is a racist, geriatric fucktard. Like all racist, geriatric fucktards they die everyday and the world moves on.
ReplyDeleteOnly black people and Democrats are racist. Everybody else doesn't give a shit.
DeleteAs spoken by one traitorous MAGAT about another...

ReplyDeleteGreat stuff, Tracy! Thanks! You're smart, plus,you're a doll! Mwah!
The Bibles explains EXACTLY who goes to heaven and hell. It list all the traits of the damned over and over. It gives examples, the rich man, the prideful man, the material man, the political man who ignores his end.
ReplyDeleteIts easy to use the Bible to tell who is going to hell. Thats one of its purposes - to warn people they are sinners and not to be deceived.
Read the Beatitudes. Explains who will go to heaven.
Its all very simple.
^^^^And yet you're assuming the Bible has any validity and that there is a heaven and a hell. Weird!
ReplyDeletethe world was flat back then wasn't it?
ReplyDelete“Electronic populism threatens to short circuit elective democracy “
ReplyDeleteThat’s what the cover from thirty years ago said
Damn that’s like Jan. 6
Well done Tracy.
ReplyDeleteWell all the guys in fox holes say there is a heaven and hell. If there isn't then you basically are on the edge of never existing (once you die).
ReplyDeleteBut you exist right now. Weird isnt it? How existance comes from "nothing" in your mind. Or maybe it was the mud in the backyard or the rock that you came from?
Read the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
And yet you're assuming "laws" originated by man to explain the body also apply to the soul, which may or may not exist. Weird.
ReplyDeleteHow many of you idiot libs spewing hatred about Rush ever listened, really listened to his radio show? None, I'll bet.
ReplyDeleteYou could say that Goebbels reinvigorate propaganda too... but at what cost?
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteRush Limbaugh.
Racist, white supremacist, sexist, misogynist and homophobe, at minimum.
Yeah. Let's remember that.
And amazingly, Rush Limbaugh is still dead!
ReplyDeleteFine piece by Tom Bedell.
